Why Sudan’s army takeover of key highway could change the war

Sudan’s army has recaptured a strategic 350-kilometre highway linking Khartoum to El Obeid after a two-day battle with the Rapid Support Forces, marking one of its biggest offensives against the paramilitary group in months. The route is vital for moving troops and supplies, and could also allow aid agencies to reach hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in El Obeid amid UN warnings of a looming humanitarian catastrophe. The army says it has also retaken several towns in North Kordofan state. Al Jazeera’s Lina Abu Akleh reports. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly
