Sudan's army captures paramilitary group's key base as it consolidates control over Khartoum area
The Hindu
Sudan's army advances towards liberating the capital, seizing key locations, including the airport, from the RSF stronghold.
Sudan's army said Wednesday (March 26, 2025) it had recaptured a camp which was being used by the rival Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group as a key base during its hold on the capital, Khartoum.
The development brings the military a step closer to declaring the capital fully liberated as it continues its advance toward key locations, including the airport. Troops last week retook the Republican Palace, which had been a stronghold of the RSF during the war that began in April 2023.
The Teiba al-Hasnab camp was the RSF's last stronghold in Khartoum, Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Nabil Abdullah Ali said in a post on Facebook.
Khaled al-Aiser, Sudan's information minister, praised the army in a statement on Facebook on Wednesday.
“Long live the struggle of the heroic Sudanese people. Salutations to our great army, to all the supporting and mobilized forces, to the sons and daughters of Sudan, and to all patriotic men and women,” he said.
The army has also seized Khartoum International Airport, Egyptian state broadcaster Al-Qahera News said, citing an unidentified military spokesperson.
Al-Aiser's statement did not mention the status of the airport, and the Egyptian media report could not be immediately verified.
