According to a report, the sudanese city of Wad Mani has been taken by the rdf. Reportedly, more than 300,000 have fled the area, probably due to the fighting; the Sudanese army has been criticised for their withdrawal. According to the report, the rsf announced that they have captured the entire Geriza state; they are believed to control nearly 70% of the capital, Khartoum along with most of the western Darfur region.
Reportedly, war erupted in Sudan when the soon to be rapid defence force broke away from the sudanese army due to an internationally backed transitional plan. Possibly refers to the controversy of moving people out of Darfur to accommodate oil fields.
