Sudan's RSF claims control of Suki, army silent
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said on Thursday it had seized the town of Suki in Sennar state, about 40 km (25 miles) east of the state capital, while the army did not immediately comment.
The paramilitary RSF said in a statement late on Wednesday that its forces had taken full control of Suki and inflicted heavy losses on the army, capturing dozens of soldiers.
The Sennar Youth Gathering, a coalition of civilian resistance committees, confirmed the RSF had taken control of Suki.
Field sources aligned with the army said their forces had withdrawn to the outskirts of Suki and were working to regain control.
Local sources told Sudan Tribune that battles were also fought on Thursday in the Qaladima area, north of Suki and southeast of Sennar city.
The Sudanese army has not yet officially commented on the RSF’s claims.
The capture of Suki means the RSF now controls six of the seven localities in Sennar state, leaving the army in control of Sennar city only.
The RSF had extended its control over much of Sennar state in June by seizing the strategic Jabal Moya area, before entering Singa and several other towns.
Suki lies on the eastern bank of the Blue Nile and is home to one of Sudan’s most important irrigated agricultural projects.
