Sudan’s army is in West Kordofan, according to Yasser al-Atta

General Yasser al-Atta, chief of staff of the Sudanese army, says his forces are present in West Kordofan, in western Sudan. He says military operations continue on various fronts against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to Al Arabiya, cited by Baj News.

The chief of staff of the Sudanese army, General Yasser al-Atta, says the armed forces are present in the state of West Kordofan. “Our forces are present in West Kordofan,” he said to Al Arabiya, which reports his remarks, as the army fights the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group.

The general insists that military operations continue on various fronts.

This statement follows the army’s retaking of Sarif Anqosh on 13 November. A few days earlier, the army had retaken Ayal Bakhit in the same state, on 7 November.
