Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) revelaed on Saturday that its special forces had carried out operations against Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in Karary and Wadi Seidna regions.
During operations by RSF special forces, an Antonov aircraft which had been used in barrel bombings on civilians was successfully neautralized, the group said.
Military equipment and heavy guns were also destroyed during operations.
Sudanese group said it will continue carrying out operations across Sudan to dismantle SAF strongholds that endanger “the security and stability of our country and the region.”
Sudan has since April 15, 2023 been plunged into a civil war pitting army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The conflict has resulted in a devastating toll, with over 12,190 casualties and the displacement of more than seven million people, according to estimates by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and UN figures, respectively.
Mediation efforts have faced significant obstacles due to deep-seated animosity between the rival factions. Despite Burhan’s administration continuing to issue statements as Sudan’s government, Dagalo’s Rapid Support Forces assert control over Khartoum’s streets, Darfur, and a substantial part of Al-Jazira, once Sudan’s vital agricultural region.
