Sudan’s army claims control of major highway linking Khartoum and el-Obeid

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

The capture of Al Sadarat highway on Sunday will help the Sudanese army move troops, weapons, fuel and supplies, and will also block the RSF’s push to seize el-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state.

The Sudanese army has announced that it has regained full control of a major highway linking the capital, Khartoum, with el-Obeid, a city that has been under siege by the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Losing control of the route will hinder the RSF’s drive to take el-Obeid – a city whose capture would give the paramilitary force control of all of western Sudan.
