Sudan’s Joint Force Captures Drones and Dismantles RSF Supply Convoy from Chad
On December 1, 2024, Sudan’s Joint Force successfully seized military drones and destroyed a Rapid Support Forces convoy from Chad, resulting in significant losses for the RSF. This operation, near Nyala, follows recent conflicts in the region wherein the Sudanese army aims to disrupt RSF supply routes. Allegations of UAE support for the RSF have surfaced amid these confrontations, illustrating the complexities of the ongoing conflict.
On December 1, 2024, a coordinated operation by the Sudanese army and allied factions resulted in the seizure of drones and the destruction of a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) convoy originating from Chad. The operation occurred near Nyala in South Darfur, marking the second such operation targeting RSF supply lines in the cross-border area within two weeks. Additionally, the spokesman for the joint force, Ahmed Hussein Mustafa, disclosed that the operation led to the elimination of over 30 RSF fighters and the destruction of eight military vehicles. Notably, the joint force seized drones identified as Danger Propellers models, specifically modified for military use. Allegations arise pointing towards the United Arab Emirates for supporting the RSF by facilitating the entry of these drones into Sudan in coordination with Chad.
The conflict in Sudan has persisted, with the Sudanese army frequently engaging the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), particularly in regions like El Fasher and Nyala. The RSF, a paramilitary group, has been involved in various armed confrontations, and their supply lines have become a focal point of military strategy for the Sudanese army and its allies. The 2020 Juba Peace Agreement has brought together various factions that now compose the joint force fighting against the RSF. The accusations involving the UAE indicate the complexity of external involvement in Sudan’s internal conflicts, particularly concerning arms supplies and financing.
In summary, the recent operation by Sudan’s Joint Force highlights ongoing hostilities between the Sudanese army and the RSF, underscoring the significance of disrupting RSF logistical support. The seizure of drones and the significant casualties inflicted on RSF forces symbolize a strategic advance for the joint force. Furthermore, these developments raise critical concerns about foreign involvement in the Sudanese conflict, which complicates the regional security landscape.
