SMS: Victory is Inching

By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid

The battles between the armies in general do not end by killing the last soldier of the defeated army. Thi is what the history of the wars tells us.
There are several examples which prove the above realities e.g. the 1st and 2nd World Wars, America in Vietnam, America in Afghanistan, and Iraqi war.
The army is considered defeated when half of its soldiers is neutralized through surrender, arrest and killings besides the fleeing of the rest.
In the ongoing clashes in Khartoum we should not expect that all the war machinery of the Rapid Support Forces will be destroyed or all their soldiers will be killed to declare that they are defeated.
We should not believe on the statements which the Rapid Support Forces are airing about their victory and that 90% of greater Khartoum is under their control and that the leaders of the Sudanese Armed fled the battlefield..
Reading the wars’ history and comparing it with what is going on now in the battlefield affirms t that the Rapid Support Forces are in their last breathes and will flee the capital to the neighborhoods and deserts as an end for their rebellion.
