The Sudanese military and allied armed groups “liberated Al-Jazira state capital Wad Madani” on Saturday, the office of army-allied government spokesman and Information Minister Khalid al-Aiser said in a statement.

The army said earlier they were advancing on the key central Sudan city, which has been under the control of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for more than a year.
