The army ends from the siege for two years from Obeid
The Sudanese army says it broke a two -year siege imposed by the RSF Rapid Forces in the main southern country of the man of the man.
This penetration came hours after RSF signed a political charter in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, to establish a separatist government in areas under its control.
RSF and the army have been in an evil battle for power since April 2023, with tens of thousands of people were killed and millions of their homes were forced.
The war divided the country, as the army controls the north and east, while RSF carries most of the Darfur region in the west and parts of the south.
Opeid, the capital of North Kordofan, is a strategic center linking the capital, khartoum, to Darfur. This is the latest army’s progress in recent weeks after restoring several parts of the hose from RSF.
There was joy in the streets where the Sudanese soldiers walked to the city.
A military spokesman, Nabil Abdullah, confirmed the gains in a statement, saying that the army forces destroyed the RSF units.
Finance Minister Jabal Ibrahim said that this step was a “huge step” in raising the RSF siege on Al -Fashir, the capital of the Northern Darfur province, and will also allow humanitarian aid to Kordovan.
Sudanese civil society activist Dalia Abdel Dimmneim told the BBC New Zeree that the city’s restoration was “huge” and “mission”.
RSF “carried captive civilians for nearly two years” in the city.
She said that the situation was “horrific”, adding that there was no medical or food assistance in an area that is “very risky in terms of famine and malnutrition.” She now hopes to allow more aid.
“Lifting the siege brings life back to the city,” Ahmed Hussein, the 53-year-old merchant at El-Obeid, told news agency.
Mrs. Abdel Momonim said that the army “makes the serious foundation in terms of moving to the West, as RSF is mainly concentrated.”
Both the army and RSF were accused of committing serious atrocities against civilians during the war, with their leaders approved by the United States. In addition, RSF was accused of implementing the genocide in Darfur.
Both denies accusations.
Kenya hosted RSF last week, as it sought to form a parallel government that criticized some human rights groups.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Sudan Ali Youssef said that his country “will not accept” any country that recognizes “a parallel government.”
Earlier, the Sudanese military government warned that retaliatory measures were taken against Kenya, and its ambassador was called by Nairobi.
In response, the Kenya Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that there is no “hidden motivation” in “providing non -partisan platforms for the parties to the conflict.”
