They inflicted a crushing defeat on the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s army and taught its forces and mercenaries lessons in courage and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These advanced military operations and the victories achieved represent a significant turning point in the theatre of operations and a strategic step whose implications will extend far beyond the present, as part of carefully planned military operations steadily advancing towards the liberation of the entire country from the domination and tyranny of terrorist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our forces pursued the defeated remnants as they fled Um Arda, leaving behind large quantities of weapons and military equipment, which are currently being inventoried and documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past several hours, our forces have continued their advance along the Kordofan and Blue Nile fronts, penetrating deep into the enemy\u2019s strongholds. They have successfully neutralised its defensive capabilities and established full control over key strategic positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rapid Support Forces reaffirm their steadfast commitment to protecting civilians in all liberated areas, working to ensure their safety and safeguard their property after rescuing them from the oppression of extremist groups. The Forces also reassure citizens that their safety remains their highest priority and call on them to stay away from areas of military operations in order to protect their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our forces assure the Sudanese people that these victories represent a significant step towards the dawn of liberation and reaffirm their determination to continue their advance and liberate the remaining strongholds of terrorist groups, paving the way for the establishment of the Sudanese state envisioned by the people, founded on firm principles of justice, equality, and the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercy and forgiveness be upon our righteous martyrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Office of the Official Spokesperson<br>Rapid Support Forces<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced today, Friday, the liberation of the area of \u201cUm Arda,\u201d near \u201cEl Obeid,\u201d the capital of North Kordofan state, stating that they have established full control over the region.
