Sudan’s military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has visited frontline positions in North Kordofan after government forces regained control of key areas in the region. The visit highlights the military’s effort to show its presence on the ground following recent battlefield gains.
Al-Burhan, who heads Sudan’s Sovereignty Council, was reported to have met troops in the recaptured areas. The development comes after the army pushed back the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in parts of North Kordofan, a strategically important area in Sudan’s wider conflict.
The visit appears aimed at reinforcing the significance of the army’s advance and signaling support for soldiers operating near the front line. It also underlines how control of territory in North Kordofan remains an important part of the struggle between Sudan’s military and the RSF.
Fighting in Sudan has continued to shift across multiple regions, with both sides seeking to secure key positions. Al-Burhan’s trip to the recaptured areas places fresh attention on North Kordofan as the conflict continues to evolve.
