(Bloomberg)-The Army was captured by Central Chartus, including an international airport, said an official who was approaching the direction of the rapid support forces from the capital in what would be a turning point in a two-year civil war.
“The game ended in Chartúm,” said Major Zafir Omer on Wednesday with a text message.
The Sudanese army, which has been fighting the paramilitarian group of RSF for control over the North African nation since April 2023, has re -captured the lines of the Earth Center and south in recent months. Last week he seized the Presidential Palace in Chartúm and pushes forward to push the militia from the capital.
Online videos showed that RSF warriors fled the bridge connected to the Jebel Awlia dam south of Chartúm, while in other parts of urban civilians celebrated the army’s progress in the streets.
RSF, led by Muhammad Hamdan Dagal, held the airport and the city center since the opening days of the conflict in which up to 150,000 people could die. The group still controls large parts of the Western Sudan region in Darfur.
Although the army seemed to have been ready to regain control over the capital and its surrounding conglomerations, the battles with RSF continued to rage in a huge darfúre region.
The Information Resistance Center, the non -profit group based in London, verified the footage of the online deadly air strike of the Sudan Armed Forces on Monday evening, which hit the crowded market in Northern Darfur.
At least 300 people were killed in the village of Tora, according to Adam Rigal, a spokesman for the coordinating committee for refugees and displaced people, an activist group documenting atrocities in Sudan. Bloomberg could not independently verify this number.
A group of Human Rights’ emergency lawyers said in a statement that the strike focused on a “densely populated” area with civilians and represented a “systematic war crime”.
