The Sudanese Army announced this Sunday that it has regained control of the strategic Mount Kadam, in the southeastern Sudanese state of Blue Nile, after the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took over this border area with Ethiopia, whom Khartoum accuses of providing support to the rebels.

The Sudanese Army said in a statement that the 4th Infantry Division -based in Damazin, the capital of Blue Nile- managed to regain “full control” of this mountain and the surrounding areas, at a time when the RSF and other allied groups are intensifying their offensive on the border with Ethiopia.
“The Armed Forces, during a successful operation, inflicted heavy losses on the militia, and military operations continue according to their field plans and with a high level of preparedness,” adds the statement, which asks the population “not to pay attention to rumors” spread by the RSF.

The paramilitaries launched an attack on Mount Kadam in recent days and claimed to have taken control of this strategically important area, as it constitutes the first line of defense of the 4th Infantry Division of the Sudanese Army.
The mountain is located between the Baw and Geisan regions, in the eastern axis of the Kurmuk area, and its control allows monitoring and securing the border strip with Ethiopia, where the RSF and the rebel group Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) are trying to consolidate.
Khartoum has repeatedly accused Addis Ababa of allowing the displacement of paramilitary fighters from its territory, as well as drone launches from Ethiopian soil towards government troop positions in Sudan.
This has caused the displacement of thousands of people, at a time when Sudan is already the scene of the worst displacement crisis on the planet, according to the UN, which estimates that around 14 million people have been forced to leave their homes since the outbreak of the war in April 2023.
