Residents of Al-Khuwei and nearby villages in Sudan’s West Kordofan state took to the streets with ululations, flags and tears to welcome Sudanese army and allied Joint Forces troops, who recaptured the area from the RSF, which the post describes as a UAE-backed “terror group.” Residents described killings, looting, intimidation and forced labor during RSF control, which began around May 2025. Sudanese army forces first took Serif Ankoush, then Al-Khuwei and surrounding areas. They are now reported to be advancing east of Al-Nahud, a major RSF stronghold about 60 km away.
