The Sudanese army captured a new town in southern Sudan on Sunday, in the latest military gains against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
The Nidaa Al-Wasat Platform, a local volunteer group, said in a brief statement that the RSF has no military presence in Alkotainh town in the White Nile State.
Activists shared videos on social media showing residents chanting in support of the army forces after a 15-month RSF control of the town.
There was no immediate comment from the army or the RSF on the report.
Alkotainh, 100 kilometers south of the capital Khartoum, was the only town controlled by the paramilitary group in southern Sudan.
