Sudanese Army Announces Recapture of Strategic Eayal Bakheet Area in West Kordofan
(Sudanese Echoes) – The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have recaptured the strategic area of Aeyal Bakheet in West Kordofan State, announcing that it had been fully cleared of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
The announcement was made in a video posted on Facebook on Saturday by the spokesperson for the Special Task Forces on his official page. The footage showed army troops establishing full control over the area, amid a warm welcome from local residents.
Eayal Bakheet is a strategically important geographical and military location in the conflict zone, situated approximately 35 to 40 kilometres northwest of Al-Khuwei locality. The advance is significant in securing the rear of Al-Khuwei and cutting off infiltration and flanking routes previously used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
The area is also located about 100 kilometres north of Al-Nohod. Its recapture gives the Sudanese Army a strategic advantage in protecting key supply routes and extending security control towards the outskirts of North Kordofan State, particularly Om Badir locality, thereby restricting the movements of RSF groups across various fronts in Kordofan.
