The RSF announce the seizure of a Sudanese Army headquarters

June 26 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have announced this weekend the seizure of the headquarters of the Central Reserve Forces and the training camp of Awad Jogali in Sudan.

“The RSF has successfully taken control of the Central Reserve Forces Headquarters and the Awad Jogali Camp. We have seized a significant amount of vehicles, weapons and ammunition,” the RSF posted on its Twitter account.

In addition, they have reported the seizure of 160 “fully armed” vehicles, 75 armored personnel carriers and 25 tanks.

The paramilitaries have assured that the capture has led to the capture and death of “hundreds of officers and soldiers”, and that their “victory” means a “hard blow for the Army and “its sponsors”.

Right now the conflict in Sudan between the Army and the paramilitaries, who have recently made progress in Khartoum, the capital, is developing with the same intensity with which it began, despite the multiple humanitarian truces declared since its outbreak on April 15.

The current hostilities between the Army and the paramilitaries broke out in the context of an increase in tensions around the integration of the RSF within the Armed Forces, a key part of an agreement signed in December to form a new civilian government and reactivate the open transition after the 2019 overthrow of Omar Hasan al Bashir, damaged by the October 2021 coup, in which the prime minister of unity, Abdallah Hamdok, was overthrown.
