Wad Madani Falls to RSF-P in Sudan’s Ongoing Conflict
The town of Wad Madani, considered to be one of the most secure in Sudan, has fallen to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF-P), marking a significant development in the country’s ongoing conflict.
With a population of over 300,000, Wad Madani is the provincial capital of Kesira. RSF soldiers were able to capture the city as the army retreated without putting up a fight.
In a statement released by the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, he attributed the fall of Wad Madani to the negligence of army commanders. Al-Burhan assured that those responsible for the setback will be identified and appropriate action will be taken against them.
The power struggle in Sudan, which began on April 15, has been between the army led by Al-Burhan and the RSF paramilitary force led by Mohammad Hamdan Tagalo. The conflict has resulted in an estimated 9,000 to 10,000 deaths.
Efforts by foreign countries to end the conflict have been unsuccessful thus far, as the battle between the two forces continues to have devastating effects on the people of Sudan.
The fall of Wad Madani indicates a significant shift in the ongoing conflict and raises concerns about the security and well-being of the town’s residents. As the situation in Sudan continues to develop, the international community remains vigilant and hopeful for a resolution to the conflict.
