Heavy clashes as Sudan's army targets RSF's last stronghold in Khartoum

The Sudanese army on Friday engaged in heavy clashes with its rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in its last strongholds in capital Khartoum's Omdurman City.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that heavy clashes between the Sudanese army and the RSF have been ongoing since early morning in Omdurman City's western neighborhoods, including El-Muwaileh, Kandahar, and Ombadda.

Following the clashes with RSF, Sudanese army members posted footage of their deployment in the Ombadda neighborhood to their social media accounts.

Witnesses say the Sudanese army clashed with the RSF in southern Omdurman as it attempted to recapture the area.

Lost territory

The RSF has not issued any comment on the latest developments in Khartoum.

These are the last RSF strongholds in Khartoum, as the paramilitary group lost the majority of its territory in the capital, including the Presidential Palace, last week.

Khartoum's recapture by the Sudanese army may not be enough to make the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces concede defeat immediately, but the country's suffering millions would be hoping that it marks the beginning of the end of the war.
