Sudanese Army Leaders' Statements Reveal Shift in Military Strategy Towards Military Decisive Action Instead of Negotiation
Sennar Axis Commander, Major General Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Basit, told Al Arabiya/Al Hadath that the armed forces are ready to advance towards Khartoum at any time, following the recapture of Wad Madani city.
The military official reported defeating Rapid Support Forces in Gezira State, indicating the destruction of numerous combat vehicles and elimination of their forces inside the city.
Deputy Sudanese Army Commander, Shams El-Din Kabashi, emphasized ruling out negotiation with Rapid Support Forces, confirming the armed forces' determination to move from Wad Madani to liberate Khartoum.
Kabashi revealed an anticipated visit by Army Commander Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan to Wad Madani upon returning from his international tour, calling on popular resistance to continue securing cities.
Recapturing Wad Madani, located 180 kilometers south of the capital, gains significant strategic importance as a major urban and commercial center in central Sudan.
The city's significance lies in its location on the Blue Nile's banks, its crucial role in transportation and trade networks, and hosting numerous educational and cultural institutions, notably Al-Jazira University, while playing a prominent historical role in Sudanese political and economic life.
Rapid Support Forces' control of the city in December 2023 represented a turning point in the conflict, given its strategic importance and location in Gezira State, one of Sudan's most important agricultural regions.
