Breaking news..... Sudan army regains control of national TV and radio headquarters from RSF Sudan’s army has taken control of the country’s national radio and television headquarters from the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the army said in a statement. The military posted videos online showing its soldiers inside the headquarters on Tuesday in Omdurman, a city across the Nile from Khartoum that forms part of Sudan’s wider capital, where the army has claimed recent gains after a string of military losses. There was no immediate comment from the RSF. The conflict broke out in mid-April 2023 amid tensions over a plan for transition to civilian rule. In 2021, the warring factions staged a coup that derailed a previous transition following the 2019 overthrow of longtime leader Omar al-Bashir. Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan, reporting from Khartoum, said the military’s takeover of the media headquarters follows weeks of gains against the RSF. “After overnight battles between the RSF and the Sudanese army, and after gains from the army here in the city of Omdurman, the army was able to retake control of the station,” said Morgan. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/12/sudan-army-regains-control-of-national-radio-and-television-headquarters
