Sudanese Forces Launch Major Counterattack Against Rebel Group in Kordofan and Darfur
The Sudanese army has begun a large-scale operation to retake control of areas in Kordofan and Darfur from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to sources close to the government. The counteroffensive marks a significant shift in the conflict, which began in 2023.
For the first time since the fighting broke out, Sudanese forces are returning to Khartoum, the capital city, as part of their efforts to quell the rebellion. This move is seen as a major step towards reclaiming territory that has been under RSF control for much of the past two years.
The Rapid Support Forces have long been considered one of the most powerful and feared rebel groups in Sudan. However, the new offensive suggests that the government may be gaining confidence in its military capabilities after months of struggling to contain the conflict.
Government officials say that the operation aims to "restoring stability and security" to areas affected by the rebellion, which has caused widespread displacement and humanitarian suffering for many local communities.
However, analysts warn that the situation remains volatile, with RSF leaders indicating a willingness to continue fighting if they feel their interests are threatened. The international community is also watching the developments closely, with some calling for greater support for peace efforts in Sudan.

. I mean, what's the real goal here? Is it just about quelling a rebellion or is there something more at play? The RSF has been around for ages and they're basically considered one of the most powerful groups in Sudan... I don't know if the govt really thinks they can take them down 
. And what about all the displaced people? Are they just going to magically find their homes again? It sounds like a whole lot of instability to me 
.
. It seems like a classic case of military might being used to silence dissent rather than finding a peaceful solution.
Either way, I'm keeping a close eye on how this plays out – the international community needs to hold Sudan accountable for its actions and ensure that any solution found is truly inclusive and represents the interests of all Sudanese people 
.
... I mean, can't we all just get along? Like, Sudan's got enough going on already, what's next? The RSF is like the ultimate wild card - you never know what they're gonna do. And now the government's all confident about their military capabilities, but let's be real, it's been months of struggling to contain this conflict... how can they just flip a switch and fix everything overnight? 
I'm also kinda worried about those local communities who've been displaced - what's gonna happen to them when all this chaos dies down? The international community needs to step up their support for peace efforts, that's the only way we're gonna see some real progress around here. And honestly, can't they just get rid of the fancy military jargon and speak plainly about what's really going on? It's like they're hiding something 
. The RSF has been playing both sides for far too long, using their "power" to exploit local communities and the government will just be trying to maintain its grip on power now 
. I mean, what makes them think they can reclaim Khartoum? That city's a powder keg, waiting to blow 
. And don't even get me started on the humanitarian situation - more displacement, more suffering... it's all just a never-ending cycle of chaos 
.
like seriously can't believe what's happening!!! Sudanese forces are on the move and it's like a major game changer 
they're retaking control of areas from those rebel forces aka RSF and I'm low-key super hyped for this turn of events 
and yeah analysts are saying it could get volatile but I'm not gonna lie I'm rooting for the good guys 
. I mean, have you ever tried it? It's literally changed my lunch game. Anyway, back to Sudan... I don't know how they do it over there, but I'm sure the people are resilient. My cousin is actually good friends with a guy who has family in Darfur and he said it's really tough up there. Like, have you seen those documentaries on Netflix? The conditions are crazy 
this is a big deal and I'm low-key hyped that the gov's finally taking action against the RSF... like 2 yrs of fighting and they're just now hitting back? 
and what about the civilians caught in the middle? like, how many ppl gotta die or get displaced again? 
. I need like 5 minutes to even start typing about this news... anyway, so Sudan's back at Khartoum, finally. It's crazy how it took months of struggling but the gov's got some confidence going on now. But let's not forget, this is all gonna be a huge mess when/if the RSF leaders say they're still willing to fight... and we all know how volatile these situations get 
.
brings an end to the fighting ASAP 
. Those displaced ppl 
need our help & support 
and we shouldn't celebrate too soon 
. Can we please just get peace in Sudan already? 
The RSF has been causing so much trouble in Kordofan and Darfur 
and I gotta say, it's crazy how things are escalating! It feels like the government is finally taking a stand against the RSF, but at the same time, you can't help but wonder if this is just another temporary measure to keep them from gaining too much power 
. The fact that they're retaking Khartoum shows they're serious about reclaiming control, but what about the humanitarian situation? So many ppl have been displaced and it's heartbreaking 
. Hope the international community can provide some support for peace efforts, we need to see this through 
.
.
.
. It's hard to see how this counterattack isn't gonna lead to more bloodshed, considering both sides have been accused of war crimes and human rights abuses 
.
this is why we gotta keep an eye on things, cuz when the dust settles, there might be even worse news 
! i was following this conflict and it's crazy how things have escalated so fast. i'm all for stability and security, but what about the people caught in the middle? they deserve better than to be displaced and suffer
