The official spokesman for the Joint Forces of the Movements, Colonel Ahmed Hussein Mustafa, told Sudanhorizon news website that the joint forces of the armed struggle movements have scored a great victory and the completed cleansing Umm Sumaima area, west of the city of El Obeid in North Kordofan State, in a heroic epic written by our valiant forces at dawn today.”
He added that the rebel militia, backed by regional support and under the direct supervision of their second-in-command, had mobilized a massive force weeks ago with the aim of capturing El Obeid. ‘’However, your forces, which were fully prepared and vigilant, bravely and skillfully confronted this brutal force.”
He added: “As soon as news of the attack on Umm Sumaima reached our forces, they immediately moved and clashed with the militias in a fierce battle that ended, after hours of fierce fighting, with their complete defeat and control of the area and its surroundings. Their remnants were forced to flee in humiliation, leaving behind the bodies of their dead and huge quantities of military equipment. Our heroes continued chasing them until they reached the outskirts of the city of Al-Khuwai, in a new confirmation of our firm resolve to cleanse every inch of Sudanese land.”
