Sudan’s army recaptures Wad Madani from rebel Rapid Support Forces

Strategic city fell into control of RSF, which has been accused of genocide by the US, in December 2023

Sudan's military and its allies have taken back a strategic city from the rebel Rapid Support Forces, officials said.

The recapture of Wad Madani, the capital of Gezira province, took place more than a year after it fell to the RSF. Wad Madani had previously been a haven for displaced families in the early months of the war.
