On Saturday, the army regained control of the areas of Al-Dashoul and Al-Karqal in South Kordofan State after fierce battles with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North (SPLM–N) led by Abdel Aziz Al-Hilu.
Al-Dashoul and Al-Karqal lie on the road connecting Dilling and Kadugli.
Sources told Darfur24 that the Armed Forces, represented by the 14th Infantry Division, managed to enter the two areas after what were described as intense clashes.
The SPLM–N had seized Al-Dashoul on June 21 after several days of fighting, imposing a siege on the city of Kadugli.
Fighting between the army and SPLM–N in Al-Dashoul began on June 17. The army initially took control of the area, before the SPLM–N recaptured it. The army then reclaimed it again on Saturday.
