Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. In the morning, fighting continued between the army and the rapid reaction forces in the capital and in a number of provinces.
2. The stuffing of the rebels about the capture of the leadership of the army was refuted yesterday late in the evening.
3. The army in the morning reported on the capture of headquarters and the location of the rebels in several provinces.
4. The base of the rebels in Port Sudan was subjected to air strikes, and the planes were without identification marks. One plane shot down.
5. In the capital of the country, part of the city is controlled by the army, part by the rebels. Both sides moved reinforcements to Khartoum during the night.
6. There were unconfirmed reports that the CIA might be behind the mutiny. So far, the outer contour of events is in a fog, but it does not leave the feeling that there is a foreign hand in the events.
7. According to preliminary estimates, from 30 to 50 people died in the capital yesterday and more than 150 were injured. The numbers are very preliminary. There is no exact information about losses in the provinces.
Overall, Sudan continues to teeter on the brink of a long-term civil war.
More from Boris Rozhin:
Headquarters of the General Command of the Armed Forces of the Sudan Basic
Firefighters arrived almost immediately.
In 2 hours.
They quenched well.
Everything burned down.
PS. Al Jazeera claims that the rebels control up to 90% of the country's capital.
More, again, from Boris Rozhin:
Burnt planes at Khartoum airport
A remarkable satellite photo of Khartoum International Airport after the fighting began. Made April 16th.
In the picture you can see 2 destroyed Il-76s, a Ukrainian Boeing-737 (which was used to transport weapons), an Airbus A-330 + several more damaged and destroyed aircraft. Also visible are the damage to various administrative buildings of the airport as a result of the fighting, as well as the use of armored vehicles and artillery.
Fighting in Sudan continues despite calls for peace - the parties continue to claim that they are winning, capturing various military and administrative facilities along the way, as well as cities and provinces. No one fully controls the capital for the evening, although Al Jazeera claims that the rebels have already occupied 90% of the city. It is also worth noting that the parties have already taken hundreds of prisoners from each other.
At least one commander of an army division defected to the rebels. On the other hand, the army was able to capture several military bases of the rebels and take trophies. The rebels, in turn, captured at least 2 military bases with hundreds of armored vehicles and wheeled vehicles. In general, there is plenty of fuel for a civil war here even without foreign intervention, but it is not excluded. Egypt is already making hints about the possibility of sending troops to Northern Sudan "
PS. In connection with the war in Ukraine, I am unlikely to be able to fully cover the war in Sudan, so I will periodically write in light mode about how things are going there. In other times, this war would have been at the epicenter of the military-political agenda, but against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, it will obviously remain in the background.
