The Rapid Support Forces said on Saturday that they took control of several strategic positions in Khartoum amid conflicting reports about who started hostilities.
Clashes broke out in Khartoum and northern Sudan between the army and the RSF on Saturday morning after statements by some former rebel leaders speaking about fruitful mediation to avoid military escalations.
The fighting began in the Soba suburb, south of Khartoum, before spreading to the strategic areas in Khartoum including the presidential palace, army command, and neighbourhoods including Jabra, Kafouri, and Shambat, where are some military positions.
Also, clashes took place between the army and the RSF at the Merowe Air Base in northern Sudan.
The RSF militiamen posted videos standing beside some military aircraft, saying they took control of the base which seemed void of troops.
For his part, the army spokesman Nabil Abdallah accused the RSF of launching attacks on its positions.
“The rebel Rapid Support Forces spread lies about attack on their positions to cover up their insurgency,” he further vowed that the army will fight them until to get rid of the rebellion.
Military escalations between the army and the RSF began on Wednesday when the RSF elements arrived in the northern Sudan town claiming that Egypt massed military plans to attack them.
In the early morning, the army said the paramilitary forces attacked their positions in the Sport City of Suba and Merowe.
The RSF claimed they took control of the army command but the army dismissed the statement.
爆炸震動了蘇丹首都喀土穆
週六,快速支援部隊表示,他們控制了喀土穆的幾個戰略據點,因為關於誰開始敵對行動的報導相互矛盾。
週六早上,在一些前反叛領導人發表聲明稱進行了卓有成效的調解以避免軍事升級後,軍隊與快速支援部隊在喀土穆和蘇丹北部爆發了衝突。
戰鬥從喀土穆南部的索巴郊區開始,然後蔓延到喀土穆的戰略要地,包括總統府、軍隊指揮部和賈布拉、卡福里和沙巴特等街區,那裡有一些軍事據點。
此外,在蘇丹北部的麥羅維空軍基地,軍隊與快速支援部隊之間也發生了衝突。
RSF 民兵發布了站在一些軍用飛機旁邊的視頻,稱他們控制了似乎沒有部隊的基地。
就他而言,軍方發言人納比勒·阿卜杜拉指責 RSF 對其陣地發動襲擊。
“叛軍快速支援部隊散佈關於襲擊他們陣地的謊言,以掩蓋他們的叛亂行為,”他進一步發誓,軍隊將與他們作戰,直到消滅叛亂為止。
軍隊與快速支援部隊之間的軍事升級於週三開始,當時快速支援部隊成員抵達蘇丹北部城鎮,聲稱埃及集結軍事計劃襲擊他們。
清晨,軍方稱准軍事部隊襲擊了他們在蘇巴和麥羅韋體育城的陣地。
RSF 聲稱他們控制了軍隊的指揮權,但軍隊否認了這一說法。
