Claim by Rapid Support Forces to have taken the trade hub of Nyala could mark a turning point in the war
The paramilitaries fighting Sudan’s army say they have seized control of Nyala, the country’s second largest city, in a potential turning point in the six-month war.
The Rapid Support Forces said in a statement that they had taken over the army’s main headquarters in city, which is the capital of South Darfur state, and seized all of its equipment. The RSF published video, which Reuters could not verify, of its soldiers celebrating with gunfire, claiming to have overrun the base.
