The RSF and its allies launched a major military offensive in the southeastern region in March, seizing the strategic town of Kurmuk and several surrounding areas.
Joint forces of the SPLM-N and the RSF had previously taken control of the Mogja areaةon March 26, saying it paves the way towards Ed Damazin.
The army’s 4th Infantry Division said in a statement that its forces achieved a “significant victory” by liberating Mogja. The military reported that the retreating forces suffered heavy losses in lives and equipment.
The military command stated the operation was part of a broader campaign to secure the region and clear it of RSF elements.
The Sudanese government has accused neighbouring Ethiopia of destabilizing the Blue Nile by hosting RSF camps funded by the United Arab Emirates. Both Ethiopia and the UAE have previously denied allegations of involvement in the conflict.
