Wad Madani: RSF push back after intense clashes with Sudanese army
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Jubilant celebrations erupted in Wad Madani, capital of al-Jazirah State, on Sunday, following reports of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) withdrawing from the city, a haven for hundreds of thousands of war-displaced individuals.
Violent festivities had ensued between the army and the RSF since last Friday, after the RSF abruptly deployed their forces on the outskirts of Wad Madani, establishing a base in the town of Abu Haraz, approximately 15 kilometres northeast of the city.
Citizens poured into the streets of Wad Madani, their voices echoing with the joyous chants of women, the honking of horns, and the celebratory gunfire of army personnel, who proclaimed, "The army has triumphed!"
Amidst this outpouring of relief and exhilaration, the movement of displaced persons at the Central Market transportation hub subsided significantly, a stark contrast to the overwhelming crowds that had gathered there since last Friday. The situation worsened on Saturday and Sunday as residents from the eastern bank of the Blue Nile, forced to evacuate their homes, desperately sought refuge in the city by crossing the Hantoub Bridge.
