Fighting intensified across Sudan’s Kordofan region on Monday as officials from the TASIS-led Peace Government said military operations were continuing under the direct supervision of Presidential Council chairman Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, while the SAF leadership vowed to push deeper into areas outside its control.
TASIS Interior Minister Suleiman Sandal said battles around Umm Sayala, Bara, Qarfa and Jabra al-Sheikh demonstrated the resilience of forces aligned with the Sudan Founding Alliance and its military partners.
In a statement published on Facebook, Sandal said what he described as the “youth of the revolution” and forces of national change were continuing their campaign against the Port Sudan authorities and allied Islamist brigades.
He said military operations would continue until the alliance achieved its political and battlefield objectives.
TASIS Oil Minister al-Basha Tabeeg said personnel and military reinforcements were continuing to arrive at active front lines across Kordofan.
He added that Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, was directly following developments on the ground and overseeing the progress of military operations.
Tabeeg urged fighters and supporters not to be distracted by battlefield claims circulated by the SAF and its allied media networks, saying the outcome of the campaign would be determined on the ground.
On the opposing side, SAF assistant commander-in-chief Yasser al-Atta said army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had ordered forces to continue advancing.
Al-Atta said Burhan had instructed SAF units to “advance as far as Umm Dafuq,” a town near Sudan’s border with the Central African Republic.
He claimed SAF troops had high morale and sufficient military equipment, adding that the campaign would proceed in stages in an effort to seize areas currently held by the Rapid Support Forces and their allies.
The rival statements come as clashes continue across several Kordofan fronts, where TASIS-aligned forces and the RSF are confronting the SAF, allied armed movements and Islamist-linked formations.
Despite the widening military campaign, there are still no clear signs of an imminent ceasefire or a renewed political process capable of ending Sudan’s conflict.
