The Sudanese army announced on Saturday that it had entered the central city of Wad Madani, a key development in the ongoing conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This move, if successful, would represent the army's most significant advance in nearly two years of fighting.
A video released by the army showed troops inside Wad Madani, the capital of El Gezira state, which has been under RSF control since December 2023. The recapture of El Gezira, an important agricultural and trading hub, could potentially shift the dynamics of the conflict that began in April 2023 over disagreements regarding the integration of the two forces.
