تدمير 49 عربة قتالية وأسر العشرات من «الدعم السريع»

The joint force allied with the Sudanese army managed to destroy 49 combat vehicles belonging to the Rapid Support Forces and captured 70 personnel in the desert axis.

The spokesperson for the joint force, Mutawakkil Ali Wakil, announced in a statement that the forces targeted a moving convoy belonging to the Rapid Support Forces during confrontations witnessed in the axis, resulting in significant losses in lives and equipment, according to what was reported by the Anadolu Agency today (Monday).

He indicated that the operation resulted in the seizure of 30 vehicles in good condition and a fuel truck, while inventory operations are still ongoing. He confirmed the seizure of several drone operating batteries and inflicted losses on the Rapid Support Forces.

According to the statement, 4 members of the joint force were killed during the confrontations, while no immediate comment has been issued by the Rapid Support Forces regarding these developments.

The desert axis includes the desert areas in northern and western Sudan up to the Chadian and Libyan borders.

Alongside the Blue Nile State (southeast) and the Darfur region (west), the three states of the Kordofan region (north, west, and south) have been witnessing clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since October 25.

For its part, the Humanitarian Aid Commission in the Blue Nile warned of the deteriorating humanitarian conditions for the displaced. Emergency official at the commission, Batoul Sadiq, stated that more than 6,000 displaced individuals are living in the open in the Wad al-Mahi area, while the flow of displaced people from the city of Qaisan continues amid conditions described as critical.

She added that 10 camps for the displaced are experiencing severe overcrowding and suffering from a lack of humanitarian assistance, noting that some camps face complicated health conditions, a shortage of drinking water, and the spread of cholera, calling on humanitarian partners to intervene urgently to support and assist the displaced.

The spokesperson for the Sudan Doctors Network, Mohamed Faisal Hassan, confirmed that several hospitals and health centers in the Blue Nile State have been targeted, with some being turned into military barracks.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been witnessing confrontations between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and nearly 13 million displaced individuals, according to UN and international estimates.
