The Sudanese army confirms the stability of the operational situation in the country, except for clashes in Khartoum

The Sudanese army confirmed, on Monday, the stability of the operational situation in all states of Sudan, except for some clashes with groups of rapid support in areas of the capital, Khartoum.


The Sudanese army said in a press statement today, "The operational situation is stable in all states of the country, except for some clashes with rebel militia groups in some parts of the capital."


"Our forces clashed with a group of rebel militia in the Bahri region, and destroyed four armed vehicles, and the enemy fled," he added.


The army accused the Rapid Support Forces of looting banks and shops and stealing citizens' property in their locations in the residential neighborhoods of the capital.


The statement indicated that the army monitored the movements of rapid support groups, and called on citizens to move away from the areas of clashes and avoid approaching any unknown metal objects until the technical crews arrive to deal with them.


The Rapid Support Forces have not commented on the statement yet.


Since April 15, Sudan has been witnessing bloody clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, which, according to the statistics of the Sudanese Ministry of Health, have killed more than 550 people and injured about 5,000.


The fighting also led to the displacement and refuge of thousands of Sudanese to safe areas in Sudan and to neighboring countries, including Egypt, Ethiopia and Chad, according to UN statistics.
