> Sudan’s army is working to consolidate its hold over the strategic al-Sadirat, or Exports Road, connecting Khartoum with el-Obeid and the wider Kordofan and Darfur regions. The Rapid Support Forces controlled the route for much of the three-year conflict before the army retook it last month. Burnt vehicles, abandoned buildings and deserted communities show the extent of the fighting.
