SUDAN’S military broke the near two-year paramilitary siege of the key southern capital of El-Obeid on Sunday. 

Breaking the siege restored access to a strategic area in the region, strengthening crucial supply routes in the war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), officials said.

The military also routed the RSF from its last stronghold in the White Nile province in another setback, military spokesman Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah said in a statement.
