Omdurman, Sudan (LM) In a pivotal shift in Sudan’s ongoing conflict, the Sudanese military has taken control of a major market in Omdurman, the bustling twin city of Khartoum. This strategic seizure enhances the military’s efforts to reassert dominance over the capital region.
The move comes on the heels of a confirmation from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the military’s primary adversary, that they have withdrawn their troops from Khartoum. Despite this retreat, the RSF has issued a warning, indicating their readiness to return if necessary, underscoring the precarious nature of the situation.
The market, a vital hub for commerce and daily life, now stands as a testament to the military’s resolve. While some residents welcome the shift as a step toward stability, others remain apprehensive about the implications of increased military presence in their community.
Experts caution that this development could provoke further tensions, as the RSF’s threats hint at a potential resurgence of conflict. The international community is urged to remain vigilant as the balance of power in Sudan continues to shift, leaving residents in a state of uncertainty about the future.
