The Sudanese army bombed a military convoy of the Rapid Support Forces in the border triangle area between Sudan, Egypt and Libya, while battles raged between the two parties in the state of North Kordofan in the center of the country, in light of an escalating humanitarian crisis and regional and international movements to stop the war.
A military source told Al Jazeera on Friday that the army destroyed, in an air strike, more than 50 combat vehicles and a number of fuel and ammunition tankers belonging to the Rapid Support Forces in the Triangle Border area.
The source stated that these vehicles were on their way from eastern Libya to Sudan across the land border.
In the Kordofan region in the center of the country, confrontations renewed in several areas, especially near the city of Bara and west of the city of El Obeid in North Kordofan state, where the army and its allied forces announced progress on the ground. The Sudanese army said that it had tightened its control over the Jabal Abi Sinun and Abu Qaoud areas.
For its part, the Rapid Support Forces said that they advanced in the axis west of the city of Al-Obeid in the areas of Jabal Isa and Al-Ayyara.
Battles are currently raging in the Kordofan region after the Rapid Support Forces took control of the city of El Fasher in the Darfur region on October 26, and committed massacres against civilians, according to what was documented by local and international institutions.
The human suffering in Sudan is deepening as a result of the ongoing war since April 2023, which has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of about 13 million people.
Welcome Trump’s announcement
Politically, the Rapid Support Forces said in a statement that they are following with interest the intensive international movements regarding the situation in Sudan, and they thank US President Donald Trump and the rest of the leaders of the Quartet countries for their efforts to stop the war.
She added, “As we announce our full and serious response to these initiatives, we affirm to the Sudanese people and the international community that the real obstacle to achieving peace is the gang controlling the decision of the armed forces from the remnants of the former regime and the leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization,” according to the statement.
Last Wednesday, Trump announced that he would begin working to end the war in Sudan after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman asked him to help put an end to the conflict.
On September 12, the Quartet Mechanism, which includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the United States, called for an initial humanitarian truce in Sudan for a period of 3 months to allow urgent humanitarian aid to enter all regions of the country.
On the other hand, the Sudan Founding Alliance, known as “Foundation,” led by the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti,” expressed its rejection of the European Union’s decision to impose sanctions on the second commander of these forces against the backdrop of violations committed in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.
In a statement, the coalition accused the European Union of issuing its rulings before the fact-finding committee of the United Nations Human Rights Council began its work.
The statement added that the coalition reminds the European Union that there are Sudanese wanted by the International Criminal Court who are now moving freely in areas controlled by the army.
