The Sudan war has escalated as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) declared the conflict has entered a "new phase," threatening to launch what they called "painful strikes" against the Sudanese army.

Basha Tibiq, advisor to the RSF commander, confirmed that the recent attack on Wadi Seidna Air Base, where several warplanes, drones, and weapons depots were destroyed, marks a turning point. "This operation is a message that the war has now entered a new phase," Tibiq said.

Tibiq added that "the coming days will witness harsh strikes on strategic locations," naming Port Sudan as the next key target in the ongoing conflict.

The RSF carried out a series of intense drone attacks early Saturday in Omdurman, just one day after violent clashes in southern Omdurman, where RSF forces attempted to breach Sudanese army positions.

Sudanese army repels attack

Despite the RSF’s assault, the Sudanese army successfully repelled the attack, inflicting heavy losses on the advancing RSF fighters.

On March 29, 2025, the army regained control over the Libya Market in western Omdurman, signaling a partial shift in the frontlines.

Earlier, on March 26, 2025, Sudan’s Sovereignty Council head, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, declared, "Khartoum is free," after arriving at the presidential palace in the capital.

The ongoing Sudan war has seen intensified fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, with both sides vying for control over key regions, including the strategic Port Sudan.

30+ killed in El-Fasher shelling

Earlier in the week, paramilitary forces shelled Sudan's besieged city of El-Fasher in Darfur, killing over 30 civilians and wounding dozens.

The local resistance committee, one of the numerous volunteer aid groups operating in Sudan, reported that Sunday's attack included the use of heavy artillery shelling, specifically targeting residential neighborhoods in El-Fasher.

Since April 2023, the war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed tens of thousands, uprooted 13 million, and created what the UN describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. El-Fasher, the state capital of North Darfur, remains the last major city in the vast Darfur region that the paramilitary group has not yet conquered.

After the army regained control of the capital, Khartoum, last month, the RSF has escalated its campaign to capture El-Fasher, viewing the city as a crucial strategic objective in its push to strengthen its dominance across Darfur.

International aid agencies have repeatedly warned that a major RSF assault on El-Fasher could unleash devastating urban warfare and prompt a new mass exodus, while UNICEF has characterized the dire circumstances facing at least 825,000 children trapped in and around the city as "hell on earth."
