Sudanese Air Force intensifies raids on RSF's positions in Al-Jazirah State
2024-02-05
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese Air Force intensified raids, on Sunday, on the positions of the Rapid Support Forces in al-Jazirah State, while the two warring parties continued to exchange artillery shelling in Khartoum State.

Sudanese warplanes bombarded RSF positions across al-Jazirah, including areas in the southern part near Sennar State and Beikah Bridge leading to al-Manaqil City in the central area of the state.

Military analysts interpret these attacks as a prelude to a broader operation aimed at recapturing control of the state, seized by the RSF in mid-December.

In recent days, states bordering al-Jazirah reportedly mobilized forces and threatened to engage the RSF. Also, the Sudanese army’s Commander-in-Chief recently declared an all-out war against the paramilitary group.

Meanwhile,
...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake...
in Khartoum State, the army and RSF exchanged artillery fire in several areas on Sunday.

The army artillery at the general command in Khartoum shelled RSF positions in the eastern Nile, while the RSF targeted the vicinity of the Signal Corps in Khartoum Bahri. Military sources claim that an army force destroyed RSF combat vehicles in Halfaya, north of Khartoum Bahri.

These developments follow the Sudanese army’s recent gains in Omdurman and the seizure of strategic locations within Khartoum Bahri.

Since mid-April, the war broke out between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum, before it expanded to several states in the Darfur and Kordofan regions and the Gezira state.
