In a separate statement, the Commander of the First Division General Amed Al Tayeb has explained that the rebel militia forces attacked the army units in continuation of their violations and desperate attempts to cover their humiliating defeats in Khartoum, trying to go after those who moved out of Khartoum away from the fray of the war.
He accused the militias of violating humanitarian and international human rights laws by targeting the internally displaced persons who found refuge in the Gezira state.
He said the Sudanese Armed Forces repulsed the attackers and inflicted heavy losses on them. He vowed that Gezira will never be invaded and that it will be the graveyard for the traitors and those who sell away their homeland.
It is to be noted that a group of the RSF militias have tried to infiltrate into the gas and fuel depots in Um Alaila area- 15 km east of Medani where they were faced by the army and heavy fighting took place there the RSF were defeated and repulsed.
