The Sudanese Armed Forces announced they have captured a stronghold held by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in North Kordofan. The operation targeted al-Mazroub, a strategic location used by the RSF to control supply routes. The military claims the move advances its objective of disrupting the RSF’s logistical capabilities.

The RSF, a paramilitary group aligned with former President Omar al-Bashir, has been accused of numerous human rights violations. A Doctors Network report alleges the RSF executed over 25 civilians in conflict zones, prompting international calls for action. The network urged immediate measures to stop ongoing abuses against civilians.

The conflict between the Sudanese Army and the RSF has intensified in recent months. The army has launched several offensives to reclaim territory and weaken the RSF’s influence. This latest capture marks a significant shift in the power dynamics between the two factions. The situation remains volatile, with reports of continued violence and civilian casualties. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely, though no major intervention has been announced.
