Mahjoub confirmed, in an interview with (Sudanese Echoes), that the initiative in the field is now in the hands of the army, stressing that the militia is in a state of complete collapse. He expected the surrender of what remains of the militia to the army, particularly the component with the greatest military influence in the militia.
