The official spokesperson for the Joint Forces, Colonel Ahmed Hussein Mustafa, confirmed that the situation in the city of El Fasher is stable and under the full control of the Armed Forces and the Joint Forces.
In a statement to Al-Muhaqqiq news site, Mustafa said there are no ground clashes, only combing operations conducted by their forces in some of the eastern outskirts and special operations on the city’s periphery. He added that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies, as usual, are shelling the city from outside, targeting densely populated residential neighborhoods and displacement camps.
The spokesperson stressed that the RSF and their allied militias, including those of Khalifa Haftar, will not be able to maintain their presence in the border triangle between Sudan, Egypt, and Libya. He described their actions as “the convulsions of a slaughtered beast,” meant to boost the morale of their collapsing militias following successive defeats on all fronts, as well as an attempt to obstruct operational advances in the Kordofan axes heading westward. He clarified that this was the main objective of the attack on the border triangle.
Mustafa denied circulating claims that fuel supplies for the “Al-Sayyad” force and the Desert Axis were coming through the triangle. He affirmed that their fuel does not come from Libya and pointed out that commercial activity between the Libyan city of Kufra and Sudan has been halted for a year and a half. He added that all roads from that direction are closed, with convoys being looted by militias, and not a single relief vehicle has entered. “We have alternative channels for supplying fuel to our forces,” he noted, describing all such claims as false and baseless.
He added that the militias are in search of any symbolic victory to raise morale, as they are in a state of complete collapse. He also pointed to the failure of the mobilization efforts carried out by the militias in Nyala and El Daein. He emphasized that the triangle area was not heavily fortified, only containing a small checkpoint and a limited force. He confidently asserted that the militias will not be able to remain in the area for long and that the triangle will be completely cleared of militias—whether Haftar’s or the RSF’s—within the next few days.
