The Sudanese army has said it seized control of a key market in Omdurman, Khartoum’s twin city, building on a series of recent successes in its offensive against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

But the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said Saturday, “The joy of victory will not be complete until the last rebel is eliminated in the last corner of Sudan’s land.”
