Sudan army chief visits recaptured Jebel Moya, boosting troop morale

[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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 army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited Jebel Moya in Sennar state on Sunday, days after his forces recaptured the strategic mountain range from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Burhan's visit aimed to boost the morale of his troops, who retook Jebel Moya on Oct. 5 after fierce fighting. The army's victory cuts off key RSF supply routes in eastern Sudan.
''Burhan visited the Jebel Moya area where the army and supporting forces from the General Intelligence Service, the popular resistance, and mobilized forces achieved a resounding victory over the Rapid Support Forces,'' the Sovereign Council said in a statement on Sunday.
Videos on social media showed soldiers warmly welcoming Burhan in Jebel Moya.
Burhan continued his tour on Sunday with a visit to Wadi Sayidna air base, where he met with military pilots and expressed his gratitude for their service in the campaign against the RSF.
The RSF had captured the mountain range in late June, disrupting supply lines from the White Nile, Kordofan and Darfur to eastern Sudan. They also launched attacks from Jebel Moya to seize most of Sennar state, including its capital Sinjah.
Recapturing Jebel Moya is a significant victory for the army, which launched a major offensive against the RSF in Khartoum on Sept. 26. The operation has since expanded to other areas, including Sennar, Gezira and Darfur.
