Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Ridiculously, former Sudanese President Al-Bashir took advantage of the ongoing fighting between the army and the rapid reaction forces and escaped from prison along with a group of prisoners. The former president is now being sought, but in a war this may be a problem.

Regarding the war itself, then:

1. Truce does not work as expected. The fighting continues.

2. Both sides keep claiming they are winning.

3. Both sides are determined to win over their opponents.

4. The score of killed is approaching the first thousand. Thousands wounded.

5. The army and the RRF are suffering significant losses in materiel.

6. Along the way, massive damage is being done to military and civilian infrastructure. We can already say that this war will cost Sudan billions of dollars. There are already more than 27 destroyed and damaged aircraft at the Khartoum airfield.

7. The US and NATO are evacuating their citizens, for which the military has been deployed to Sudan and Djibouti. Almost all citizens of the Russian Federation were also taken out.

8. There are no facts confirming the participation of Wagner PMC in the Sudanese events. Usual French stuff. So far, among the foreign powers, Egypt and Ethiopia have been actively lit up.

9. The capital of the country is not completely controlled by any of the parties. Some objects continue to change hands.

10. In general, Sudan does not expect anything good - events are moving towards the worst option of a protracted civil war with the option of its further internationalization.

Al-Bashir, if he is not caught, will be able to say "So what, that he stole, but this was not with me."
