Is the Sudanese army gaining momentum against the RSF? | Explainer News | Al Jazeera

Sudan’s army has made recent gains against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including the capture of al-Mazroub in North Kordofan after fierce fighting. This victory helps the army cut off RSF supply lines and control key areas, although the RSF still holds most of Darfur and parts of Kordofan. The civil war, which started in April 2023 in Khartoum, has displaced 14 million people and created a severe humanitarian crisis. The capture of al-Mazroub is a significant step in the ongoing conflict to weaken the RSF’s position.
