Celebrations in Sudan amid army take over from RSF
Soldiers and Civilians celebrated in Wad Madani, which is the capital of Sudan’s Al-Jazira state, due to it being recaptured by the Sudanese army from the paramilitary Rapid Support Services, indicating a potential turning point in a two-year civil war, The New Arab via Reuters reported on January 13th.
On January 12th, one woman said: “We are so happy, we can’t express ourselves,” whilst soldiers shot into the air and people cheered on the streets. She added: “A whole year we have been squeezed, we haven’t been able to breathe.”
The war started in Khartoum during April 2023 over the amalgamation of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Services (RSF) and created one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world.
