Sudan army breaks siege on key southern city Kadugli: army sources

The Sudanese army has reportedly broken the siege on the key southern city of Kadugli, according to army sources. The siege had seen Kadugli surrounded by fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their local allies, which include a faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North led by Abdelaziz El-Hilu. This development marks a significant military achievement for the Sudanese government forces in the ongoing conflict in the region. In addition to the siege being lifted in Kadugli, government forces have also entered the capital of South Kordofan, which is Kadugli itself. This follows a recent military success where the Sudanese army broke a siege in the nearby city of Dilling. The situation in South Kordofan has been tense, with ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army and various armed groups, including the RSF. The lifting of the siege in Kadugli is part of a broader military campaign by the Sudanese army to regain control over strategic areas in the region. The RSF and allied factions have been significant players in the conflict, complicating the military landscape in South Kordofan. The recent advances by the Sudanese army may alter the dynamics of the ongoing conflict, although the situation remains fluid and complex.
