Sudanese Army Recaptures Wad Madani.

The Sudanese army has gained control of the strategic city of Wad Madani, a key location in the center of the country, from the opposition Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, marking a significant victory in the nearly two-year-long war.

The city, which serves as a crossroads for key supply highways linking several states, was recaptured after a long battle, and its capture will cut off the RSF from various parts of the country. The army's control of the agricultural and trading hub will also allow it to access other areas that the RSF is now cut off from. The city's strategic location has given the RSF the ability to move to other parts of the country and has been a key logistical point for supplies and other arrangements.

The RSF leader, Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, acknowledged the defeat in an audio message, blaming the army's air superiority and use of Iranian-made drones. The loss is a significant blow to the RSF, which controls most of Darfur and parts of the south, but the war continues with the RSF vowing to fight on until victory, even if it takes 20 years. The conflict has displaced over 9 million people and left 24.6 million in urgent need of food aid, making it one of the world's largest displacement crises.

The recapture of Wad Madani is a significant gain for the army, as it is the capital of El Gezira state, an important agricultural and trading hub. The army statement said its forces had entered the city and were working to clear out remaining RSF pockets. The conflict between the army and the RSF is ongoing, with the two forces engaged in battles over several states, including Darfur and White Nile state in southern Sudan.
