 Sudan's army says it has retaken key town near Chad


The Sudanese army said it had retaken Kulbus, a strategic town near the Chadian border, in what appeared to be its biggest battlefield gain in western Darfur since the capture of Al Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) last year.


RSF, at war with the army since April 2023, consolidated control over most of Darfur after capturing Al Fasher, the military's final stronghold in the region.


The military and its allied Joint Forces, a coalition of armed groups, meanwhile retained control along the Chadian border.


Kulbus lies on a vital corridor near the border, roughly halfway between the army-held border town of Al Tina in North Darfur and Al Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, which remains under RSF control.


'Full control'


In a statement, the Joint Forces said their fighters had taken "full control" of the town in West Darfur after what they described as "decisive battles", claiming to have inflicted heavy losses on RSF units and seized vehicles and weapons.


In a separate statement, a pro-army popular resistance group accused the RSF of using Kulbus as a staging ground for "thousands of fighters crossing the border" and as a key supply hub linked to Al Geneina, AFP reported.


Video footage circulated by local media appeared to show men wearing Sudanese army uniforms celebrating in front of a sign reading "West Darfur State – Kulbus Locality."


Conflict kills thousands of people


Fighting has intensified in recent months along the frontier between North and West Darfur as the army seeks to secure a strategic corridor along the border with Chad.


Al Tina, already at risk of famine according to the UN, has come under repeated RSF attacks this year.
