The Sudan Tribune published on 11 January 2025 an article titled "Sudan's RSF Leader Admits Defeat in Al Jazirah State, Vows to Fight On."
The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) recaptured Wad Madani, a strategic crossroads 170 kilometers southeast of Khartoum, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This was a major victory for the SAF just as it was for the RSF more than a year ago when it captured the town from the SAF. The RSF claimed the SAF victory was due to the use of Iranian drones, Eritrean forces, and Ethiopian Tigray militia fighters.
