In a recent development, Sudan's military successfully broke a more than yearlong siege on the city of Obeid, a crucial area in the south-central region. This victory has restored access to strategic locations and strengthened supply routes in the country's nearly two-year war against a notorious paramilitary group.
The military also managed to oust the Rapid Support Forces from their last stronghold in the White Nile province, marking another setback for the group. The conflict in Sudan escalated in April last year, leading to widespread violence and atrocities, including mass rape and ethnically motivated killings.
