Sudan Says It’s Retaken Key City of Wad Madani from RSF as Brutal War Nears 2-Year Mark

HeadlineJan 13, 2025

Sudan says its military has recaptured the key city of Wad Madani from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Wad Madani, the capital of Gezira province, fell to the RSF over a year ago.

The devastating 21-month civil war has killed over 28,000 people and displaced more than 11 million. The U.N. says famine in Sudan has now spread to five regions, with over 750,000 people on the brink of starvation. Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders announced Friday it was suspending operations at one of Khartoum’s main hospitals after its workers repeatedly came under attack.
