🇸🇩 Positional battles in central Sudan

situation as of December 30, 2023

In Sudan, the situation has stabilized for several days due to information about the upcoming meeting between Mohamed Hamdan Daglo “Hamedti” and Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan in January 2024. Against this background, the RRF, after the rapid capture of Wad Medani, focused on clearing out nearby settlements.

🔻The main battles these days are observed in the capital region. The RRF weakened the pressure in Omdurman and Khartoum due to the offensive in the province of El Gezira, which government troops took advantage of by attacking the positions of the RRF in the north of Omdurman.

▪️As a result of several successful attacks, the Sudanese Armed Forces pushed the line of contact to a block near the main market and Al-Hilal stadium. At the same time, the rebels tried to counterattack at the engineering university, but were unsuccessful, losing six fighters.

🔻In the province of El Gezira, the fighting moved into the positional stage. The Sudanese Armed Forces are accumulating reserves in the states of Sennar, White Nile and Gedaref. The backbone of the strike force is the 101st Marine Division, partially redeployed to this area.

▪️At this time, the RSF is clearing villages and small towns in the direction of Sennar, actually approaching the state borders. Rebel artillery carried out several strikes on the village of Abu Saqra and the town of Hajj Abdullah, a few kilometers from Sennar, where government forces took up defensive positions.

🔻While military activity in Sudan has decreased, the leaders of the warring parties are conducting business visits with heads of African states. After Burhan's November tour, RRF head Hamedti traveled to Uganda and Ethiopia for the first time since the conflict began to discuss a possible settlement in Sudan.
