#Sudan army says it seized two areas in #Blue_Nile region The Sudanese army said on Thursday it had seized control of two areas in the Blue Nile region, marking a significant advance in the #southeastern province where fighting has escalated since January. The 4th Infantry Division, the army’s primary command in the region, said in a statement that its troops and allied forces “cleared” #Jort East and the #Ballamo camp following decisive battles against paramilitary and rebel groups. The southern and western sectors of the Blue Nile province have seen a surge in violence this year. The army is currently engaged in a conflict against an alliance of the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (#SPLM-N) led by Joseph Touka. Military officials stated the operation was part of a broader campaign to secure strategic locations in the southern sector. https://sudantribune.com/article/311706
