The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has announced the recapture of the strategic Bakori area in Sudan’s southeastern Blue Nile region following renewed clashes with the military and its allied forces.
The alliance said its fighters regained control of Bakori on Thursday, November 5, as part of an expanding offensive across the region.
According to Radio Tamazuj, TASIS commander General Al-Hussein Al-Hassan addressed fighters from inside Bakori, announcing that the area had been retaken and ordering his forces to continue advancing towards Damazin, the regional capital.
The development follows weeks of competing territorial claims in Blue Nile, where military positions have repeatedly changed hands.
Sudan’s military announced in October that it had regained Bakori after fighting with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies.
TASIS had previously reported capturing the area during earlier operations alongside the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N).
The latest announcement therefore represents a renewed claim of control over a location that has become strategically important to the campaign around Damazin.
The alliance also reported advances around Sali, Al-Kayli and Kilo 6, claiming that its forces had secured military positions and equipment during recent operations.
TASIS commanders have urged Sudanese military personnel stationed in Blue Nile to withdraw or surrender, pledging humane treatment for those who lay down their weapons.
The latest battlefield claims could not be independently verified.
Damazin remains one of the principal military strongholds of the Port Sudan authorities in southeastern Sudan, hosting the Fourth Infantry Division.
The continuing fighting around Bakori and other strategic positions underscores the pressure facing Sudan’s military as TASIS seeks to expand its territorial presence across Blue Nile.
Neither side has released independently verified casualty figures from the latest clashes.
