The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Tuesday accused General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army of violating a humanitarian truce by launching a surprise attack on RSF positions in the southern city of Babnusa.
The RSF said in a statment on Telegram that the assault, which it blamed on SAF units it described as aligned with the “Muslim Brotherhood movement” and “extremist-affiliated groups,” marked the eighth breach of the ceasefire in recent days.
The truce was brokered by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
According to the RSF, its forces repelled the attack before mounting a counter-operation that recaptured the 22nd Division and secured control of Babnusa.
The group said the operation resulted in heavy losses for the attacking forces, including the destruction of armoured vehicles and the seizure of what it described as advanced military equipment allegedly supplied by regional states.
The RSF said the capture of Babnusa was a significant development in its campaign against what it calls extremist elements within Burhan’s army.
It reiterated its commitment to the humanitarian truce and said it remained ready to engage in efforts aimed at reaching a durable peace agreement.
