Sudanese army strikes RSF troops in Khartoum and North Kordofan

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudanese army launched air strikes on Thursday against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum and North Kordofan states as ground troops continue to engage with paramilitary fighters.

Since the eruption of the conflict, the Sudanese air forces have targeted the RSF positions in Khartoum and have reduced the arrival of their reinforcements from reaching the capital. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
recently, they operate also in strategic North Kordofan.

On Thursday, aerial bombardments were concentrated near Sports City in the south of Khartoum and in Ombada, west of Omdurman, as well as in North Khartoum and East Nile cities of Khartoum state.

s persisted into Thursday evening, with additional bombings in Omdurman’s Libya’s Market and the al-Jeraif East and Southern Belt areas.

The escalating military attacks unfolded in parallel with renewed mediation efforts by U.S. and Saudi officials in Jeddah, seeking a ceasefire agreement to pave the way for political negotiations between the conflicting parties.

The army also accused the RSF of shelling residential areas south of Khartoum with mortar shells and spreading false videos to deceive the public.

The Sudanese army accused the RSF of seeking to use the bombs that inadvertently hit some houses during the attacks on the position of the paramilitary position in residential neighbourhoods.

#1 The location of aerial bombing indicates that the Arab-led Army is losing ground to the RSF. It is likely that Saudi Arabia, or Turkey, or some Gulf government will move to try to effect a cease-fire and end to warfare. However, such a move will not resolve the issue of Arab-African tribal hatred that exists. The Arab Army is now faced with the same problem it had with South Sudan. It fought the southern Sudanese for decades but eventually had to lose that region to the African tribes it hated.
