According to SAF spokesman Nabil Abdalla, mobile forces successfully reopened access to El Obeid, linking up with Al-Hajana units already stationed in the city.

Meanwhile, army forces advancing from White Nile State reportedly eliminated militia resistance and secured al-Gitaina.

The statement also noted that SAF units had moved from Al-Rahad, a city recaptured six days prior, to El Obeid, which had been besieged by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the conflict erupted.

El Obeid is a vital trade and agricultural hub, with a major oil pipeline running through it from South Sudan to Port Sudan.

The Sudanese army has recently claimed significant territorial gains against the RSF, including the full takeover of Kafouri in Bahri on February 17, which was the RSF's last stronghold in the city.

The ongoing war between the SAF and RSF, which began in April 2023, has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis, with international reports estimating over 29,600 deaths.

The Sudanese Armed Forces announced on Sunday that they have lifted the blockade on El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State, and regained control of al-Gitaina in White Nile State.
