The victory also saw Sudanese forces oust the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from its last stronghold in the White Nile province, further crippling the notorious paramilitary group. This news was confirmed by military spokesperson Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah in a statement, Associated Press reported.

Sudan라이브 바카라 Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim, as per AP report, hailed the military라이브 바카라 success, calling it a “massive step” in lifting the RSF라이브 바카라 blockade on other important cities, including El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. Ibrahim also emphasised the importance of delivering humanitarian aid to the Kordofan region, where civilian suffering has been severe.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has led to widespread violence, including atrocities such as mass rapes and ethnically motivated killings, particularly in the western region of Darfur. Both the United Nations and human rights organisations have condemned these actions, labelling them war crimes and crimes against humanity. The violence has ravaged the capital, Khartoum, and other urban areas, displacing millions and leaving the country on the brink of collapse.
The city of Obeid, located in North Kordofan province, is a vital commercial hub with a significant airbase and the headquarters of the military라이브 바카라 5th Infantry Division, known as Haganah. It is located on a key railway line connecting Khartoum to Nyala, the capital of South Darfur province, making it a linchpin for military and logistical operations. The RSF had besieged the city since the onset of the conflict, cutting off essential supplies and access.
The military's latest victories are a major setback for the RSF, whose control has been shrinking since September 2024, when the Sudanese military launched an offensive to recapture the greater Khartoum area.

The military has since retaken critical positions, including its own main headquarters and vital infrastructure like the country라이브 바카라 largest oil refinery. The military is now reportedly within striking distance of retaking the Republican Palace, which RSF forces stormed early in the war in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Sudanese military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan.
The RSF라이브 바카라 losses have been significant, with the paramilitary group also ceding control of Wad Medani, the capital of Gezira province, and other key areas. Despite these setbacks, the RSF and its allies recently signed a charter establishing a parallel government, challenging the military-backed administration. This move has raised fears of a further fragmentation of the country.
