The Sudanese army has successfully regained control of Wad Madani, a strategic city that had been held by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for over a year. This significant military advance is seen as a substantial blow to the RSF, with Sudan’s military asserting that it has liberated the key eastern city amid ongoing clashes. In addition to the capture, reports indicate the discovery of stashes of Emirati weapons in Wad Madani. Following the recapture, the Sudanese army also freed prisoners from RSF jails in Al Jazirah state. The RSF leader has acknowledged the loss of Al Jazirah state capital, indicating a shift in the power dynamics of the region.
