Sudanese army thwarts new attack on Armoured Corps
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] On Saturday, the Sudanese army successfully repelled a fresh assault launched by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)
| ...the UAE-supported paramilitary led by General Mohammed Hamad Daglo, known as “Hemetti”, a Zaghawa ‘Masalit’ — the term for ethnic African tribals from Darfur in Western Sudan. Not long ago Hemetti was the Number 2 in the Sudanese government until the Big Guy suddenly changed his mind... |
against the armoured corps headquarters, resulting in significant losses for the attacking forces.
Just over a week ago, the Armored Corps Command, situated south of the capital, Khartoum, faced a series of meticulously coordinated attacks from the paramilitary forces. But the army repelled these attacks on the strategic site.
Maj Gen Nasr al-Din Abdel-Fattah, the commander of the Armored Corps, in an audio recording circulated on platforms supportive of the armed forces, stated that "The army managed to shatter the enemy’s advance and achieved a resounding victory against the Janjaweed forces. For seven consecutive days, we have inflicted heavy losses upon them in engagements that lasted a mere two hours."
Elaborating further, he disclosed that the RSF sought to advance from the southern flank of the army in the suburb of Jabra, mobilizing a considerable number of soldiers, accompanied by heavily armed four-wheel drive vehicles and a tank.
Reaffirming that the army responded to this aggression without requiring Air Force intervention, he recounted how they compelled the attackers to flee, leaving their casualties behind.
"Our current concern centres around the presence of deceased bodies in the vicinity of the armoured corps and nearby neighbourhoods. The enemy’s resistance cannot endure for more than ten minutes," he added.
In the preceding week, the paramilitary forces which have been fighting the army for more than four weeks managed to breach the eastern perimeter, of the 20 km camp, before the army successfully ousted them once again.
The departure of al-Burhan from the army’s general command headquarters on August 24 and his relocation beyond the capital sent shockwaves through the Rapid Support Forces, who had previously claimed to have besieged him.
Furthermore, the Sudanese Army Air Force on Saturday conducted a series of intensive sorties targeting Rapid Support positions across the three cities of Khartoum.
