Sudan's Shifting Military Landscape
The Sudanese army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has gained momentum in its conflict against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Following a series of strategic offensives that have included capturing critical locations and restricting the movements of the RSF, the army has now made considerable advancements in areas near Khartoum. Significant victories have been highlighted by the recapture of strategic bridges and the end of the RSF's nearly two-year siege on the military headquarters in Khartoum. Reports indicate that intense fighting is ongoing as the Sudanese army moves toward the city center, raising questions about the RSF's ability to regroup and respond effectively.
