Sudan army captures Halfaya Bridge, breaks Kadroo siege
Plus: RSF strike army positions in River Nile State
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) seized another bridge across the Nile yesterday—the third bridge in three days—advancing into the Halfaya neighborhood of Khartoum Bahri and linking up with troops advancing from Kadroo.
The operation effectively ends the siege of the Kadroo Military Area, allowing this enclave to be reinforced and resupplied.
Military media broadcast scenes of jubilant troops of the so-called “Karari army” of Omdurman cheering and embracing those of the “Kadroo army” of Khartoum Bahri. SAF’s army in Omdurman is much more numerous and better equipped than the one in Kadroo, so the unification of these two forces is a significant development.
