Sudanese army retakes eight areas from paramilitaries, its allies say

Spokesperson for the Joint Force of Armed Movements, Motawakil Ali Wakil, says the army and its allies have retaken eight areas of Khuwei, in western Sudan, from the Rapid Support Forces. Among the areas cited are Khamas Halab and Khamas al-Donkey, according to Baj News.

The Sudanese army and the Joint Force of Armed Movements have retaken eight areas of the locality of Al-Khuway, in the state of West Kordofan, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, said the spokesperson for the Joint Force, Motwakil Ali Wakil. The retaken positions include Khamas Halab, Khamas Al-Donki, Khamas Al-Nayer and Khamas Hajar, according to his statements reported by Baj News.

The Joint Force brings together Sudanese armed movements fighting alongside the army in the conflict against the Rapid Support Forces. The retaking of the eight areas comes as forces allied with the army claim several recent advances in West Kordofan, notably in Al-Khuway and Sarif Anqosh.
