00:00:00The world has seen in the first
00:00:00and pressure recent operations in which
00:00:03the armed forces are involved in any country,
00:00:06in any country to fight insurgency.
00:00:10I mean, I say that these armed forces are still
00:00:14practicing the process of pressure on
00:00:16the enemy so that the enemy cannot
00:00:20carry out
00:00:23force targets operations in the organization and then return
00:00:26again by carrying out offensive operations. Okay.
00:00:30Okay, Mr. Abdul Aziz, let me ask another question. In your opinion, to what extent
00:00:34on the Kordofan
00:00:34We expect, as we said have the airstrikes affected or in terms
00:00:37of specifically the issue of supply
00:00:41and movements for
00:00:48of the martyrs of the Sudanese people and the martyrs of the armed
00:00:52forces and all
00:00:56for this militia and the joint forces and all the security agencies supporting the armed forces in the battle of dignity.
00:01:00This existential battle for the masses of the Sudanese people, in
00:01:04fact,
00:01:07Come to prayer. the air force or all the security
00:01:09agencies and the various bodies in the armed
00:01:13forces
00:01:14for the ground forces to be have provided
00:01:18that were previously stockpiled every body or every institution has provided
00:01:22Come to a very big work and a tremendous effort in managing
00:01:26the battle of dignity and breaking the power
00:01:28of the Rapid Support Militia. And in this second instance, let me
00:01:32salute the Sudanese
00:01:34Come to success. Air Force, especially the Sudanese Air Force.
00:01:38It has completely confirmed that this weapon
00:01:42is the weapon that decides the outcome, and it is a very
00:01:46precise weapon and decisive in breaking
00:01:50Come to the militia's power, and not as some claim that it targets some
00:01:54areas at times, but
00:01:57also the Sudanese intelligence, the Sudanese
00:02:01intelligence agency, confirmed
00:02:04many areas in its readiness and accuracy, I believe that controlling especially in the last
00:02:06one operation that broke the power
00:02:09in North Kordofan State,
00:02:12especially in the city of Al-Bara
00:02:15whether the great powers and Jibr Al-Shaykh and other areas that were liberated recently
00:02:18and are now in the embrace of the nation. All
00:02:22these agencies have confirmed their readiness
00:02:25and accuracy and have done
00:02:28enough of
00:02:31So this capability the work entrusted to them. In fact, all these
00:02:35from the paralysis and the strong efforts, which in their entirety represent
00:02:37the Sudanese Armed Forces, are in fact
00:02:41the main reason for breaking the power of the Rapid Support Militia,
00:02:45simple people, especially the supplies. The supplies that the
00:02:48armed forces and joint forces managed to capture
00:02:51in the city of Jibr Al-Shaykh, specifically,
00:02:55this is a great effort and not by mere chance
00:02:58or a ground operation. Only, but rather an intelligence
00:03:02operation or
00:03:03that can evade an air operation, a ground operation
00:03:07that was completed in all aspects of the armed forces
00:03:10in carrying out this successful operation.
00:03:14And these supplies now
00:03:17mean that the Rapid Support has become a very
00:03:21big problem, and it has perhaps
00:03:25you, are created caused fear and deep divisions in
00:03:26of these operations, the mechanisms its ranks because it does not have
00:03:30media industry. They are created its original level as required, and also the small
00:03:33and even fuel,
00:03:36abroad. all these efforts were accomplished by
00:03:41maneuver and redeploy? a ground operation, an air operation, and an integrated intelligence operation. This operation
00:03:45contributes to the forces in deploying ground
00:03:48essential part of forces throughout the Kordofan region, and also
00:04:13media denial does
00:04:15not erase the impact of the crime
00:04:19contributes to the air force
00:04:21in
00:04:30now in in the war that is raging
00:08:43expert. So, Mr. Othman, how do you assess the extent
00:08:46of the impact of these strikes in terms
00:08:49of the militia's ability to
00:08:53Of course,
00:08:55I would say that the impact
00:08:59of the air force in
00:09:04is a very significant and profound
00:09:07impact, given the
00:09:11use of high
00:09:13technologies
00:09:16and the fact that unmanned aerial vehicles are
00:09:20very effective and play a huge role. So, certainly,
00:09:23these technologies
00:09:25used by
00:09:29have a very positive impact
00:09:33modern warfare. However,
00:09:37I would say that clearly
00:09:42Sudan, the Sudanese Air Force,
00:09:44with its capabilities and capacities,
00:09:47has been able to curb the activity
00:09:50of these rebel forces by paralyzing their
00:09:54movement first. As you have seen,
00:09:58in recent times, since
00:10:01the liberated areas were liberated recently,
00:10:05and until now,
00:10:07many militia movements
00:10:10have not been able to move as
00:10:14they used to, roaming
00:10:17in various parts of the theater of operations.
00:10:20Now, there is a complete paralysis.
00:10:24I wouldn't say complete, but these
00:10:27strikes have affected the paralysis of
00:10:30movement first. The second
00:10:34thing and the noticeable thing is the destruction
00:10:37of convoys coming from outside
00:10:41the borders. As you have seen and
00:10:44are seeing, the air
00:10:48aerial targets coming from inside and outside the borders,
00:10:52and the destruction of a large number of equipment,
00:10:56whether military or even those
00:10:59used for funding,
00:11:01and cutting, certainly, the supply
00:11:07This matter has a negative impact
00:11:10on all movements and movements of
00:11:14the rebel militia, and this imposes
00:11:17a field isolation
00:11:21an inability to continue combat
00:11:24operations. It is clear, as we said
00:11:27earlier, that the operations that took place recently in
00:11:31the theater of operations in Kordofan, and
00:11:34the defeat that this militia suffered and its abandonment
00:11:38of a lot of equipment and supplies
00:11:43to carry out operations that were
00:11:46expected inside the Sudanese interior, but
00:11:50with this crushing defeat, these
00:11:53spoils fell into the hands of the armed forces,
00:11:56and they are now using this
00:11:59equipment and supplies that were left behind
00:12:12how do supply routes
00:12:15affect the resolution of the battle?
00:12:19What are the effects of this control and on resolving
00:12:22the battle and achieving quick
00:12:25results?
00:12:28the crossings is of the basic
00:12:31operations in this battle because
00:12:34this war is not a war between the Rapid Support
00:12:38Militia and the Sudanese Armed Forces, but rather it is an international
00:12:41war, a war with regional
00:12:44extension, and a war coming from outside the borders, whether the western
00:12:48Sudanese borders or even some
00:12:50neighboring regional and Sudanese neighboring
00:12:53countries. Therefore, the supplies coming from outside
00:12:57Sudan feed a large percentage, or more than
00:13:0190% of the Rapid Support's supplies and
00:13:05logistical or military support comes from outside
00:13:08Sudan. When the armed forces or
00:13:11the air force targets the convoys that
00:13:15come from outside the borders,
00:13:18it has probably decided a large percentage of the battle.
00:13:21And the great impact of these supplies
00:13:25confirmed that the large ground war that the
00:13:29armed forces carried out in Kordofan, especially in
00:13:32the cities of Bara and Jibr Al-Shaykh, completely confirmed
00:13:35that the extent of the support that comes
00:13:39from countries outside Sudan is very great, and all these
00:13:42large and heavy vehicles entered the region with the aim
00:13:46of destroying Sudan and not with the aim of confronting the armed forces
00:13:49because all these weapons are weapons for destroying
00:13:52infrastructure, drones, and so
00:13:55on. This large ground battle is the first
00:13:59of its kind since 2023. This is the largest
00:14:03ground operation that took place in Greater Kordofan. Therefore,
00:14:06this ground operation brought about very
00:14:10great gains, including moral gains
00:14:13and administrative gains. There was a very great interaction
00:14:19that the joint Sudanese forces were very happy
00:14:23with the air force, as if
00:14:30they were... Yes, the gains are very great, and also the large and dense foreign
00:14:34presence
00:14:37was apprehended inside the cities
00:14:40in Kordofan. This also
00:14:44the external front or Sudanese diplomacy.
00:14:48It has provided very great evidence, and also Sudanese
00:14:51foreign policy can benefit from this ground operation.
00:14:59So, Mr. Othman, how do you assess the recent military
00:15:02advances in the Kordofan axes,
00:15:05specifically in North Kordofan and West
00:15:09Kordofan? These operations
00:15:13that took place in recent weeks and are still
00:15:16ongoing have had
00:15:19a great impact on the course
00:15:22of operations for the enemy. And
00:15:26they have deprived the enemy of the initiative and given
00:15:30the armed forces the initiative, and now they
00:15:33are exerting defense
00:15:37on the enemy so that it cannot regain
00:15:41the initiative again. Therefore,
00:15:45it has lost the ability of this militia to carry
00:15:48out any offensive operations in the near
00:15:51future, or in the very near future. This militia now
00:15:55cannot reorganize and then carry
00:15:58out offensive operations again due to the loss
00:16:02of supply lines and the loss of command and control at the same time,
00:16:06and the divisions that have occurred and are occurring daily.
00:16:11before, that there will be clashes between
00:16:15those who want to leave this militia and join
00:16:18the national front in the near future. We expect
00:16:22strong clashes in the theater
00:16:25of operations, whether in Darfur or Kordofan,
00:16:28and these defections
00:16:32portend these clashes. The departure
00:16:35of many
00:16:38ethnicities, if I may use this expression,
00:16:41and the widespread anger
00:16:44among
00:16:47the citizens who are under the control
00:16:49of this militia, whether in Darfur or
00:16:53Kordofan, now
00:16:55the local environment is not
00:16:59in favor of this militia, but rather it has
00:17:03completely turned in favor of the armed forces
00:17:06or in favor of the Republic of Sudan. So, Mr. Abdul Aziz,
00:17:09how will these advances, the advances
00:17:13of the armed forces, affect the course of operations
00:17:16in the Darfur region? Yes, especially
00:17:19in Darfur, there is now a very wide
00:17:23deployment of the joint forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces,
00:17:26and now the area of control or the area
00:17:29that is in the embrace of the homeland
00:17:32is expanding. It used to be more
00:17:35than three or four localities only. But now the ground
00:17:39forces have spread to
00:17:41Darfur due to the paralysis that has affected
00:17:45the Rapid Support Militia and the strong blow that the militia received
00:17:49in the Kordofan region. Now
00:17:52the ground forces in all areas,
00:17:55there is a very small force, some forces
00:17:59you could say, very few vehicles. Now they have the freedom
00:18:03to move and search for the Rapid Support wherever it is found.
00:18:08or this space came
00:18:12blows that came from the air force,
00:18:15especially in the contact areas and at the borders
00:18:18through which supplies enter. And you are all
00:18:21following that 80% of the equipment that came
00:18:25from outside Sudan in the past 15 days
00:18:27has been completely destroyed and its fate has been completely
00:18:31sealed. Perhaps the large trucks
00:18:34have been burned 100%. Perhaps there might
00:18:38be small vehicles
00:18:41the eyes of the air force, but large
00:18:44supplies and heavy equipment are now
00:18:47impossible to enter Sudan's borders,
00:18:50except for some air flights,
00:18:54and with strict security at specific
00:18:56times, this happens in the city of Nyala
00:19:00specifically, but there is no room
00:19:03for heavy equipment to enter. And this is an opportunity
00:19:06that must be utilized correctly,
00:19:09and when the armed forces move,
00:19:13others must be mobilized because ground forces need
00:19:16a very large number of mobilized people and a very
00:19:19large number because the areas in western Sudan are vast
00:19:22and wide, and we must move the mobilization
00:19:25efforts, and the Sudanese people must move so that
00:19:29we can decisively defeat this militia completely
00:19:32and completely
00:19:35with the least effort and with
00:19:58In your opinion, what are the most prominent challenges that the forces may face
00:20:01during the next phase?
00:20:03You could say
00:20:08political challenges because
00:20:11the
00:20:13external or international
00:20:16actors have a very significant influence,
00:20:20and these are great
00:20:23powers and financial empires that support
00:20:26this militia, providing supplies
00:20:30and at the same time providing diplomatic cover
00:20:33for this militia. I expect increased
00:20:37pressure on the Sudanese government to
00:20:41yield and accept entering into negotiations,
00:20:44and this is an unacceptable matter after these great
00:20:48gains achieved by the forces. The armed forces and the Sudanese
00:20:52government, and gains for the Sudanese
00:20:54people. The other thing,
00:20:58the other challenge, is the mobilization of the regional
00:21:01environment, meaning the neighboring
00:21:05countries to the government of the Republic of Sudan, to
00:21:08enable this militia
00:21:11to gain a stronger foothold than
00:21:14before, such as Chad and Ethiopia,
00:21:18and to move from these countries to carry out operations
00:21:21to relieve pressure
00:21:24and Darfur theaters or the internal
00:21:27theater on this militia.
00:21:30I expect, for example, as you have seen,
00:21:34some movements that occurred in our beloved East. I expect
00:21:38that and more supplies will flow
00:21:41across the borders, despite the great
00:21:45impact that the air force
00:21:48has achieved in the past period, and it
00:21:52continues to do so. The air force deserves our salute, as
00:21:55your honorable guest said, for its great
00:21:59role in creating a suitable environment and conditions
00:22:04able to carry out the ground operations
00:22:07that we all expect to be large and
00:22:11a very large maneuver,
00:22:14as you know, to carry out the
00:22:17maneuver, this requires favorable conditions,
00:22:21including weather conditions,
00:22:25meaning that there must be air superiority
00:22:28for the force that wants to carry out a maneuver,
00:22:32and it is known that the maneuver took place
00:22:35deep inside the enemy's territory, which was carried
00:22:39out by the armed and joint forces, and now
00:22:42they are fighting behind enemy lines. This maneuver was a large
00:22:45and great maneuver that crossed these forces,
00:22:49the enemy's front lines, for the front
00:22:52defense lines for this militia. It was a big
00:22:55surprise even for the Sudanese people, and even more
00:22:59of a surprise for this militia and those who support it,
00:23:05abroad and the forces that support this militia
00:23:20tonight, but after the break.
00:23:40Welcome back to Sudan Tonight. And in another file, media
00:23:44deception in wartime: Who creates the narrative?
00:23:47The war in Sudan has witnessed an unprecedented escalation
00:23:50with the use of media and digital platforms as a parallel
00:23:54arena for military operations, where disinformation
00:23:57campaigns and the spread of misleading information intensify
00:24:01following field developments. Evidence indicates
00:24:04that Abu Dhabi's regime manages media rooms
00:24:08and funds propaganda campaigns aimed at influencing
00:24:11public opinion. Questions arise about the nature
00:24:16for verifying information, and their impact on citizens
00:24:32to what extent, Mr. Ibrahim, has media
00:24:36warfare become an
00:24:46has become a strategic war.
00:24:52But for the media
00:24:55war led
00:24:58by the militia,
00:25:05on the ground at all. And
00:25:07it is known that there is documentation
00:25:10via satellite and documentation
00:25:14via digital
00:25:17fingerprint for the perpetrators.
00:25:20So, media warfare and rumors
00:25:24are one of the tools of conflict,
00:25:27as is known, and an attempt to mislead
00:25:31and obscure public opinion.
00:25:33Thus,
00:25:36to what extent, Mr. Ibrahim, are these campaigns of
00:25:39media deception linked to
00:25:42the military defeats suffered by
00:25:45the militia?
00:25:48It is an attempt
00:25:51to boost the morale of the soldiers, the deceived
00:25:54soldiers, these simple soldiers who
00:25:57are fed speeches
00:26:00and
00:26:03false dreams
00:26:06and alleged
00:26:08goals that we were all deceived
00:26:12by. So, it is natural
00:26:15that these misleading
00:26:18media campaigns
00:26:21are linked to the defeats that the militia
00:26:24is currently suffering
00:26:28on all fronts. So, let me ask an important question at this point,
00:26:31sir. In your opinion, what are the most prominent
00:26:35methods used to spread
00:26:37misleading information?
00:26:40It is known that
00:26:43from abroad
00:26:46with very advanced capabilities. From where, Mr.
00:26:49Ibrahim?
00:26:52It is known that the UAE is the main
00:26:56supporter. This is known.
00:26:59And
00:27:01complaints have been filed, as is known.
00:27:04This is this and other countries that
00:27:08many know. So,
00:27:12how can we practically verify, Mr. Ibrahim,
00:27:15the authenticity of the videos
00:27:18or the news and images circulating
00:27:21during the war? Simple.
00:27:24People now,
00:27:27through digital development, it is very
00:27:31easy for a simple citizen, even through very
00:27:35simple applications, even the recipient
00:27:37can know whether
00:27:41this is a fabrication or a fact.
00:27:43So,
00:27:46how did these misleading news
00:27:50and fabricated news affect the morale of
00:27:54the militia soldiers
00:27:56who were suffering
00:27:59of the armed forces?
00:28:03Their impression was that
00:28:06the army was at its
00:28:09end, and
00:28:12they were pushed into battle
00:28:15zones and battles, and then they
00:28:18realized the truth after it was too late,
00:28:22after they became
00:28:24victims of these
00:28:26battles. And unfortunately, this
00:28:30reality contradicted these claims.
00:28:33Did the militia soldiers truly
00:28:36believe these allegations and misleading
00:28:40news? Of course, they believed them, because
00:28:43most of them are simple people, truly
00:28:48in terms of education
00:28:51and they are in areas that
00:28:54unfortunately
00:28:57have problems with education and illiteracy,
00:29:00and these are old
00:29:03repercussions. So, regarding the issue
00:29:06of creating the media narrative and directing
00:29:09this narrative, how
00:29:13do some parties exploit digital platforms?
00:29:17How were these platforms utilized to create this
00:29:21news?
00:29:25The platforms, as I told
00:29:27in this
00:29:33abroad through
00:29:36very advanced centers
00:29:39As for what
00:29:42is circulated or what
00:29:45is released to the world,
00:29:48even through the videos that are said
00:29:51to belong to the soldiers,
00:29:54or it used
00:29:57it came directly. Now,
00:30:00it is
00:30:03artificially affected and then released
00:30:05to the
00:30:08recipient and public opinion. So, what
00:30:11is different regarding the issue
00:30:14of indicators or the existence of campaigns
00:30:18and the individual work done by some? Excuse
00:30:22me. So, there are individuals
00:30:25who spread this information, and there are parties that do misleading
00:30:29work. How can we differentiate between this directed
00:30:33effort and individual
00:30:34work?
00:30:39The militia's media itself is unprofessional.
00:30:42Therefore, everything we talk about
00:30:46is that there are external rooms that manage
