Sudanese army bolsters forces in Al-Faw as fight for Al Jazirah continues

[SUDANTRIBUNE] In a second visit within two weeks, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors.

Sovereign Council media highlighted the "harmony and high morale" of stationed forces during Kabashi’s visit. Photos released by the Council confirmed Haroun’s presence, with sources indicating his mission is to regain control of Al Jazirah from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

the al-Faw axis, east of Wad Madani, has seen setbacks.

Last week, army-allied forces, including factions led by Gibril Ibrahim and Minni Minnawi, retreated from the village of al-Faqeesha. The RSF claims victories against these groups.

This ongoing conflict has caused immense hardship for civilians. Rights groups accuse the RSF of killings, looting, and rape in Al Jazirah villages. A communications blackout exceeding 90 days has further exacerbated the situation.

The fight for Al Jazirah remains deadlocked, with the Sudanese army attempting to dislodge the RSF. The Sudanese people continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, enduring both violence and restricted communication.
