The army, battling the RSF since April 2023, “fully secured” the airport in central Khartoum from RSF fighters stationed inside, the source said, requesting anonymity because he is not authorised to brief the media.
“In the south of the capital, our forces have surrounded the strategic Jebel Awliya area from three directions: north, south and east,“ the source said, adding that “all axes are advancing steadily”.
Across the city, eyewitnesses and activists reported this week that RSF fighters were retreating southwards from neighbourhoods they previously controlled, ostensibly towards Jebel Awliya.
RSF territory evacuated
The war has left much of Khartoum a shell of its former self.
Millions more, unable or unwilling to leave, were left to face hunger, rights abuses and indiscriminate shelling of their homes by both sides.
“The area has been completely empty of the RSF since last night,“ Osama Abdel Qader, a resident of the nearby Sahafa neighbourhood, told AFP on Wednesday.
“Yesterday, I saw seven (RSF) vehicles carrying furniture and families heading towards Jebel Awliya,“ he told AFP.
Following months of defeat, the army appeared to turn the tide late last year, sweeping through central Sudan before recovering nearly the entire capital.
