After 17 months of brutal conflict, the Sudanese army has launched a major offensive to retake control of the capital city, Khartoum, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This latest escalation comes as the army commander, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, addressed the United Nations General Assembly, accusing the RSF of receiving foreign backing and vowing to defeat them.
We are getting into the details of the offensive, the international community’s response, and the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan. We shall gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the conflict and its devastating impact on civilians.
The Sudanese army, under the command of General Burhan, has launched a large-scale offensive to retake Khartoum from the RSF. The operation involves heavy artillery and airstrikes, targeting RSF positions in the capital.
Meanwhile, the RSF claims to have repelled the army’s attempts to cross key bridges into Khartoum. The conflict, stemming from a power struggle between the army and the RSF, has resulted in a dire humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and widespread hunger.
The international community, including the UN, has called for a ceasefire and an end to the violence, particularly the siege of al-Fashir in Darfur.
