Sudanese Army Vows Major Offensive Against RSF Despite UN Pressure
Senior Sudanese military commander Yasir al-Atta announced the mobilization of multi-pronged land and air assaults against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Addressing troops in Omdurman, al-Atta explicitly rejected U.S. and UN proposals to expand arms embargos, accusing the UAE of continuing to supply the RSF. The military has shifted to an offensive posture after regaining territory in North Kordofan, aiming to sever cross-border supply lines ahead of a broader ground operation.
