On 31’st of January, the Sudanese army launched a new offensive against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), advancing towards the presidential palace in the center of the capital, Khartoum, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported.

The RSF have controlled the presidential palace and the ministries adjacent to it, along with a number of strategic sites in Khartoum since the eruption of the current conflict in April 2023.

The Sudanese army’s advancement follows a series of successive victories it has achieved in recent months, starting with retaking major cities like Al-Dinder, Al-Suki, Singa and Jebel Moya in the far southeast of the country.

After the army liberated Wad Madani in central Sudan, and finally extending its control over the Bahri district in the capital Khartoum, including El Mek Nimr Bridge linking Bahri to central Khartoum, and the bridge closest to the presidential palace.

Sudan accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group on Tuesday of committing a horrific massacre that left 433 civilians dead in the southern White Nile State, Anadolu Agency reports.

A Foreign Ministry statement said infants were among the victims of the attacks by the rebel group in El-Geteina city in the state in recent days.

The ministry said the RSF resorted to its usual tactic of retaliating against unarmed civilians in small villages and towns after suffering successive defeats by the Sudanese army. There was no comment from the RSF on the accusation.

RSF-controlled areas have been shrinking rapidly in recent weeks as the army gained more ground in the capital Khartoum and other states.

The paramilitary group still controls four of Darfur’s five states, while northern and eastern Sudan remain largely unaffected by the fighting.

In Khartoum State, which consists of three cities, the army now controls 90% of Bahri in the north, most of Omdurman in the west, and 60% of central Khartoum, where the presidential palace and international airport are located.

Army forces have nearly encircled these strategic sites, while RSF fighters remain entrenched in neighborhoods in the east and south.

Iranian drones turning the tide of Sudan proxy war

Two years into Sudan’s civil war, Iranian-made armed drones have helped the army turn the tide of the conflict, halting the progress of the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Force and regaining territory around the capital, a senior army source told Reuters.

The residents said the drones appeared to monitor RSF movements, target their positions, and pinpoint artillery strikes in Omdurman, one of three cities on the banks of the Nile that comprise the capital, Khartoum.

The extent and manner of the army’s deployment of Iranian UAV’s in Omdurman and other areas has not been previously reported. Bloomberg and Sudanese media have reported the presence of Iranian drones in the country.
