Sudanese army retakes western Omdurman neighbourhood
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudanese army announced on Tuesday that its forces regained control of the Doha neighbourhood and its surroundings west of Omdurman city in Khartoum state.

According to a statement issued by the office of the official spokesperson for the armed forces, “The army achieved significant successes in Omdurman by clearing the Doha neighbourhood and its surroundings.”

The army confirmed that its forces seized and destroyed several combat vehicles belonging to what it called the “terrorist militia of the Dagalo family,” in addition to killing several Rapid Support Forces (RSF) members who had controlled the area since the war began in mid-April last year.

The Doha neighbourhood represented a defence line for the RSF, protecting the Dar es Salaam areas and their general areas of control in parts of Umbada, Libya Market, and Kandahar Market west of Omdurman.

In March, the Sudanese army managed to regain control of the radio and television headquarters and the old Omdurman area.

Later, the army made progress by taking control of some parts of the Umbada suburb west of Omdurman, while the Salha suburb south of Omdurman remains in the hands of the RSF, reaching the locality of Jabal Aulia in the far southwest of Khartoum state.

Meanwhile, the Sudanese army bombed several RSF sites east of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, on Tuesday morning. The RSF also shelled several locations west of El Fasher with heavy artillery.
