God Almighty says:

“If God helps you, none can overcome you.” (Quran 3:160)

Our noble people…

Your Armed Forces are writing a new chapter of glory and dignity, proving through action, not words, that when they resolve, they succeed; when they advance, they triumph; and when they promise, they fulfill. With God’s help, they proceed with unwavering steps, relying on the determination of their men, the trust of their people, and the justness of their cause in defending the homeland and preserving its sovereignty.

With God’s help and support, our armed forces and allied forces were able today to liberate the city of Kurmuk in Blue Nile State, by force and with determination, after fierce battles decided by the will of the fighters and the bravery of the heroes. The terrorist Dagalo militia and its mercenaries suffered heavy losses in lives and equipment, and their remnants fled in defeat and disarray, leaving behind their weapons and vehicles.

We salute our steadfast people in the city of Kurmuk and the surrounding areas, who demonstrated the most remarkable patience and resilience in the face of the terrorist militia’s brutality. We assure them that protecting civilians, restoring services, and creating the conditions for a return to normalcy are priorities in the coming phase.

Our armed forces also renew their pledge that the battle for dignity will continue until the terrorist militia and its supporters are eliminated and the entire homeland is secured.

Our prayers are for Paradise and eternal life for the martyrs who paved the way of honor and dignity with their blood, and for a speedy recovery for the wounded and injured, and a safe return for the prisoners and missing.

Victory from God and a near triumph.

Official Spokesperson for the Armed Forces
