Cairo (AP)-The military of the Sudan on Sunday has outsourced a more than years of siege from the crucial city of Obeid, restored access to a strategic area in the southern central region and the decisive care routes in its almost two years of war against a notorious paramilitary group , said officials.
The military also performed the brisk support forces from his last stronghold in the province of White Nile in a further setback to the notorious group, military spokesman Brig. General Nabil Abdullah said in an explanation.
The Sudan was plunged into chaos in April last year, as if the tensions between the military and the RSF were boiling in open warfare across the country.
The struggles that destroyed the capital, Khartoum and other urban areas was characterized by atrocities such as mass rape and ethnically motivated murders, which according to the United Nations and Crimes against Humanity, especially in the western region of Darfur, international law groups.
Abdullah, the spokesman, said military troops in the Al-Sayyad axis had managed to reopen the road into the city of Obid and break the RSF covering over the city, which serves as the provincial capital of the province of North Kordofan. The city houses an extensive air units and the 5th Infantry Division of the military, which is known as Haganah.
Obid is a means of commercial and transport and is connected on a railway, the Khartoum with Nyala, the provincial capital of the province of South Darfur. It has been besieged by the RSF since the beginning of the continued conflict in April 2023.
Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim welcomed the progress of the military in Obid as a “massive step” to raise the RSF covering for EL-Fasher, the capital of the province of North Darfur, and to provide humanitarian aid for the Kordofan region.
The RSF defeats on Sunday were the latest in a series of setbacks for the notorious group, which began in September when the military started an insulting contract for the gigantic area of Khartoum – Khartoum and his two sister cities of Omdurman and Khartoum North or Bahri.
Since then, the military has conquered strategic areas, including its own headquarters, and is now about to regain the Republican palace, storming the RSF fighter in the first times of the war to kill General Abdel-Fattah Burhan.
The RSF has also suffered several setbacks from battlefield elsewhere in the country. It lost control of the city of Wad Medani, the capital of the province of Vipira and other areas in the province. The military also gained control of the country’s largest oil refinerie.
Developments on site gave the military the upper hand in the war, which approaches his 2-year brand without a peaceful settlement on the horizon. International attempts at mediation and pressure tactics, including a US assessment that the RSF and its proxies commit genocide, have not stopped the conflict.
The RSF and its allies have now signed a charter that paved the way for the foundation of a parallel government to question the administration supported by the military. The move has expressed concerns about a possible distribution of the country.
Cholera spread to another city
According to the health authorities in the province, Cholera has spread to Rabak, the provincial capital of the province of White Nile. The disease first met Kosti, another white city of white Nil before reaching Rabak, the Ministry of Health said.
According to the Ministry of Health, a total of 68 people died of cholera in the two cities between Thursday and Sunday. With more than 1,860 others, the disease was diagnosed, it said.
According to the ministry, an anti-Cholera vaccination campaign in Kosti and Rabak has reached 67% of its targeted people in the past two days.
The outbreak was mainly held responsible for contaminated drinking water after the Kosti water supply system had been eliminated during an attack by the RSF, the Ministry of Health said. The facility was later determined as part of the government’s efforts to combat the disease.
Cholera is a very contagious disease that causes diarrhea, which leads to severe dehydration and, according to the World Health Organization, can be fatal if it is not treated immediately. It is transmitted by the absorption of contaminated food or water.
Cholera outbreaks are not unusual in Sudan. Between July and October last year, the disease killed more than 600 and over 21,000 other ill, mainly in the eastern areas of the country in which millions of people who were sold by the conflict were located.
