Khartoum, Dec 17 (Prensa Latina) The Sudanese government is preparing for a major offensive in the Kordofan and Darfur regions, and the formation of what he called "a large military force" has already been completed, military sources reported in this capital on Wednesday.

Both regions are currently under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), following a paramilitary offensive in the last few weeks.

Yasser al-Atta, assistant commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces and a member of the Sovereign Council, affirmed in a speech broadcast by local television that the troops have been fully trained using advanced weaponry capable of turning the tide of the fighting.

The intensity of the clashes between the two sides in the Kordofan region has increased in the last few days, and several casualties were reported.

Since mid-April 2023, this nation has been embroiled in an internal war, following a power struggle between Army Chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF leader, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
