Heavy and unrelenting fighting continues in Sudan as the military intensifies its offensive against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) strongholds south of Khartoum.

The armed forces are pushing further into RSF-held territories, aiming to dismantle the group’s defensive positions that have fortified the region in recent months.

The RSF, once a formidable ally to Sudan’s former regime, has become a powerful adversary in the conflict, with its fighters fiercely defending key areas south of the capital. As clashes rage on, civilian populations are increasingly caught in the crossfire, with thousands displaced by the escalating violence. Humanitarian organizations are struggling to provide aid to those affected, as infrastructure is heavily damaged and access to basic services becomes ever scarcer.

The government’s strategy to defeat the RSF hinges on overwhelming their positions with superior firepower and strategic maneuvers, yet the RSF’s resilience and entrenched positions have made the operation much more protracted than initially anticipated.

As the battle rages, the international community watches with growing concern, urging both sides to prioritize dialogue and the protection of civilians. However, with both factions entrenched in their positions and neither showing signs of backing down, it remains unclear how this devastating conflict will ultimately come to an end.
