The Sudanese army captured the Manshia Bridge from the RSF in Khartoum, regaining control of nine strategic bridges linking key cities. This military advance forms part of their ongoing efforts in a conflict that has escalated since April 2023, leading to over 20,000 fatalities and 14 million displaced, according to UN estimates. The army currently controls most of Khartoum while the RSF retains positions in some neighborhoods.
On Tuesday, the Sudanese army successfully seized control of the eastern side of the Manshia Bridge in Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This operation was part of a broader military campaign, as the army’s recent statement confirmed the reclamation of the bridge, which was the RSF’s last stronghold on the Blue Nile. A video was published showing a military leader inspecting troops at the bridge entrance, affirmed the army’s dominance in the area.
The Sudanese army continues to make significant progress in its conflict against the RSF, having regained control of key infrastructures within Khartoum. As military advancements persist, the ramifications of the ongoing conflict remain severe, with a staggering death toll and widespread displacement reported. The situation, while improving for the army, still leaves the RSF with positions in critical neighborhoods, indicating a protracted struggle ahead.
