- The advance has pushed their rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces westward, away from the North Kordofan state capital they had sought to encircle, and opens a second supply route to El-Obeid and beyond.
Sudan’s army has taken control of a strategic highway that connects the capital, Khartoum, with the contested city of El-Obeid, according to two military sources. The movement forces the rival Rapid Support Forces westward, away from the North Kordofan state capital they were attempting to surround, and establishes an additional supply corridor toward El-Obeid and beyond.
