SAF Cut Off Rapid Support Forces Supply Routes

Local sources and eyewitnesses in El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State, confirmed that the two main bridges spanning the strategic Wadi Kaja have been completely rendered unusable. This has caused a complete paralysis and widespread disruption of the logistical and military supply lines coming from the Chadian border, which the rebel Rapid Support Forces militia relies on heavily to fuel its operations and movements in the region.

According to consistent reports and field observations, the first connecting bridge was completely destroyed during the early stages of the conflict last year. The bridge in the vital Ardamata area was rendered completely unusable following a precise airstrike carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces last week. The strike accurately targeted rebel gatherings and their supply lines, completely severing all traffic across the valley.

The Kaja Valley forms a natural barrier of immense military and strategic importance in western Sudan, making the bridges spanning it sovereign crossings and vital points controlling all logistical and transportation operations. Military observers assert that the armed forces’ success in isolating and destroying these strategic crossings will dry up the rebel militia’s supply lines and cut off the flow of weapons and equipment across the border, thus tightening the noose around them on the ground and highlighting the pivotal role of infrastructure and military control in determining the course of the conflict in favor of the Sudanese state.
