Civilians and soldiers celebrated in Wad Madani, the capital of Sudan's El Gezira state, after it was recaptured by the Sudanese army from the paramilitary Rapid Support Services, marking a possible turning point in a devastating near two-year civil war.

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Mohamed 'Hemedti' Dagalo today acknowledged the Sudanese Armed Forces' (SAF) recapture of Wad Madani, a key city in El Gezira state that the RSF had controlled since December 2023.

Sudanese officials says the military and its allies had taken back the strategic city of Wad Medani more than a year after the Rapid Support Forces seized it.

Sudan's army said on Saturday it had entered the central city of Wad Madani and was pushing out its paramilitary rivals the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a step which if completed successfully would be its biggest gain in nearly two years of war.

The RSF, however, still controls large parts of Al Jazirah state, except for Wad Madani city, Al-Manaqil, and its surrounding regions, extending south to Sennar State’s border and westward to the White Nile State’s boundary.
