TASIS claims dawn airstrikes on Islamist training camps in Khartoum

The Sudan Founding Alliance, known as TASIS, said its forces carried out precision air operations at dawn on Wednesday targeting major military sites belonging to the so-called “Islamic Movement Army” and affiliated militias in the Khartoum region.

In a statement, Tasis said the strikes hit training bases at the Khalid bin Al-Walid and Jabal Sarkab camps and destroyed weapons and ammunition depots in Karari (Omdurman) and Al-Kadru (Khartoum North). The alliance said the attacks caused “significant material and human losses” among the ranks of the group and its allied battalions.

TASIS framed the operation as retaliation for recent attacks on civilians by Islamist and militia aircraft in several parts of Darfur — including Nyala, Belbel Tambesko (South Darfur) and Al-Kuma and Al-Zarq (North Darfur) — which it said left many casualties, the majority of them women and children.

“We will not tolerate the systematic targeting of civilians by militias and terrorist battalions,” the statement said, adding that Tasis forces were monitoring drone launch sites, communications stations and satellite links both inside and outside Sudan and had located external launch bases. The group said those sites were legitimate targets and that it could strike them “at the appropriate time and place.”

The statement also warned it could counter any attempts to target Khartoum or Nyala, and pledged to continue operations to dismantle militia camps and military infrastructure “anywhere inside or outside the country” with the aim of rebuilding Sudan on what it called “just foundations” and ending marginalization.
