Madani: Altaghyeer
Official Spokesman of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced retaking Wad Madani, capital of al-Gezira State, on Saturday morning and says it is working on “mopping up the city from remnants of the rebels”.
In a press release the spokesperson added that “the General Command of the Armed Forces extends congratulations to our noble people on the entry of our forces into the city of Wad Madani this morning. Our forces are currently working on flushing out the remnants of the rebels inside the city.”
SAF soldiers posted videos showing troops crossing Huntoob Bridge into the city and scenes inside the city.
Since Wednesday, SAF’s troops advanced toward Medani from three directions: the south (Sinnar State), the west (al-Managil city) and the east (al-Fao region).
Medani is strategically important as it is situated in the centre of Sudan and is the capital city of al-Gezira State; the renowned agricultural and economic centre.
The city has been under the RSF control since December 2023 following withdrawal of the SAF’s 1st Infantry Division from the city.
“We assure our proud people that your armed forces, along with their supporting forces, are advancing with determination and resolve on all fronts to liberate every inch of land defiled by the terrorist militia of Al-Dagalo”, the SAF Spokesman said in the press release.
