 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion.

 Sudan army inflicts heavy losses on RSF in South Darfur, regional government says


Recent Sudanese army airstrikes in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, inflicted heavy losses on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a regional government official said on Sunday.


Ahmed Ishaq Shanab, information minister and spokesperson for the Darfur regional government, said the latest strikes were “painful” for the RSF and caused heavy losses in personnel and equipment, according to Sudan’s state news agency SUNA.


On Friday, the Sudanese army said it carried out airstrikes targeting RSF command centres and positions in Nyala, which the paramilitary group uses as an administrative and military hub.


The army said the strikes killed dozens of RSF paramilitaries and destroyed several command centers.


Shanab said the RSF was “not safe” in Nyala or elsewhere and that the army would continue pursuing the group as far as Um Dafuq, near Sudan’s border with the Central African Republic.
