Sudanese army chief: Forces enter West Kordofan, Darfur next target

Sudan's top military official, General Yasser Al-Atta, announced that the country's armed forces have now entered West Kordofan and will shortly advance into Darfur. These military actions are part of ongoing operations targeting the Rapid Support Forces, whom Al-Atta labels as the Janjaweed.

Al-Atta declared that the army entered West Kordofan following their liberation of North and South Kordofan. He emphasized that Sudanese forces will not relinquish any territory to the Rapid Support Forces. The general also spoke about the continuation of military operations across various fronts, as troops strive to reclaim areas currently held by the Rapid Support Forces.

In addition to these efforts, Al-Atta stressed the necessity of securing central Sudan from what he described as hidden threats and conspiracies. He affirmed that military operations will persist across all fronts to fulfill the army's objectives.
