's army said on Friday it had regained control of Abu Quta, a town in the far northwest of Al Jazirah state, which borders Khartoum and White Nile states.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had held Abu Quta since December 2023. The town is about 65 kilometres (40 miles) from RSF positions in Jebel Aulia, southwest of Khartoum, and about 40 kilometres from al-Qutaina in White Nile state, also under RSF control.

''Our forces have completed today the clearing of the Abu Quta area and areas east of the Nile and Kafouri from the remnants of the terrorist militia of the Daglo family,'' army front man Brigadier General Nabil Abdallah said in a brief press statement.

Earlier on Friday, local resistance committees in Abu Quta reported fighting near the town's entrance, saying the army had advanced to within three kilometres before festivities moved to the south-eastern entrance.

The army's recapture of Abu Quta is part of a broader military operation to pressure the RSF in the capital, Khartoum. Fierce battles are being fought on the outskirts and within the city itself.
