ALBAWABA - The Sudanese army announced repelling a new attack by the Rapid Support Forces on El Fasher on Saturday, according to a military source quoted by AFP.
The announcement came after the Rapid Support Forces said it took control over several key areas in the city located in western Sudan on Saturday.
It is worth noting that El Fasher is the only major city not controlled by the Rapid Support Forces in the Darfur Region, which has been under siege for more than a year amid its war with the army since April 2023.
The military source reported that the Sudanese army, supported by allied armed factions, recaptured Shalla Prison and the Central Reserve Police headquarters in the southwest of the city, inflicting "heavy losses" on the Rapid Support Forces.
Meanwhile, a source in the RSF told AFP that the latter had been in complete control of these same sites since Friday, in addition to the livestock market located south of El Fasher.
