Recent military advancements by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum signal a critical change in the ongoing war. Notably, the SAF regained control of Wad Madani, a key location, where RSF actions previously triggered widespread panic and loss of faith in the SAF. Hager Ali from the German Institute highlights the severe impact of RSF tactics on food security. With RSF now retreating towards Darfur, the conflict may enter a decisive phase, suggesting an escalation in violence and strategic realignment.
Hager Ali noted that the fall of Wad Madani to the RSF in December shocked the entire country, leading to a loss of confidence in the SAF's capabilities.
Ali explained that the RSF used hunger as a weapon against the Sudanese people, drastically worsening food insecurity which remains a dire issue.
The strategic value of Wad Madani has been severely compromised due to the RSF's scorched earth tactics, demonstrating a significant shift in the war's dynamics.
As RSF fighters retreat to Darfur, the next potential battleground, experts suggest this new phase signals an impending climax in the ongoing conflict.
