Expansion of the war
On the other hand, army forces arrived yesterday in the town of Al-Eidej, in Gezira state in central Sudan, a day after the “Rapid Support” incursion into the area.
The army posted a video on Facebook showing its troops at the entrance to the small town and in the same place where RSF operatives appeared.
The army said in the video clip that “the armed forces reassure the Sudanese people that the Al-Aidj area is free of pockets of (terrorist) rebellion, stressing the end of the rebellion sooner,” according to (Asharq Al-Awsat) Newspaper.
The RSF incursion into the area inside Gezira state has raised citizens’ fears that fighting could spill over into the state, which has remained outside the war since it broke out in mid-April. The expansion of the RSF came after its commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, earlier threatened that no area in the country was far from threatening his forces.
In the past two days, the RSF has taken control of the city of Elifon (30 kilometers from the capital Khartoum), located on a main road linking Khartoum to Gezira state. Large numbers of residents continue to be displaced to neighbouring areas, fearing clashes between the army and the RSF.
Unfamiliar weapons
In all areas of previous clashes, citizens pointed to the use of heavy artillery and rocket launchers by the Rapid Support Forces in an uncharacteristic intensive, as they used to use light weapons in all their attacks in the past.
Since mid-April, the army and the RSF have been fighting a war that has left more than 5,000 people dead, as well as more than 9 million displaced people and refugees inside and outside the country, according to the United Nations.
