That day, their mission was reconnaissance. The area they were combing had turned into a mass grave the day before — ISIS militants had carried out a mass execution of local residents. Among the piles of corpses were survivors — exhausted, wounded, teetering on the edge. Without asking questions, the fighters began evacuating.

But in war, any retreat is always under fire. Already during the retreat, one of the former Navy SEALs, Ed Mattos, was wounded in the calf. Whether a sniper hit him or it was a piece of shrapnel is no longer important. The main thing is that he survived, and the entire moment was captured on video. This was not just a chronicle of the war, but a reminder that even veterans who have gone through dozens of combat operations continue to risk their lives for those who cannot defend themselves. And perhaps for these people, the war will never end —

Sudan Civil War: [21/3/2025]: 🇸🇩

Situation on Khartoum front: During the first hours of the morning SAF recaptured the Presidential Palace & the surrounding area.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) achieved another decisive victory on Friday morning, retaking the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum, delivering a significant and crushing defeat to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the renegade paramilitary group that has controlled the site since the start of the civil war.

Under relentless pressure from SAF, which deployed infantry, drones, and artillery, the RSF attempted to flee the palace late Wednesday night, but was decimated in the process, suffering heavy losses in both personnel and military assets.

The Sudanese military began its offensive to retake the presidential palace after breaking a two-year siege of its general headquarters in late January and gaining full control of the East Nile locality on March 7.

The first phase of the operation began on Sunday with efforts to isolate the RSF at the palace. Videos reviewed and geolocated by Sudan War Monitor showed SAF units from Al-Shajara attacking RSF elements attempting to cross into RSF-controlled areas of southern Khartoum, near the Grand Market. The footages highlighted the RSF's growing encirclement in central Khartoum, setting the stage for the final assault.

On Monday, units from the SAF's armored corps successfully linked up with their counterparts at the general command, located east of the presidential palace, completing the encirclement of RSF fighters stationed at the palace and other key buildings in downtown Khartoum.

As the noose tightened, the RSF attempted to flee the palace and surrounding areas on Wednesday night, but their escape was thwarted as they were decimated by SAF's relentless assault. The SAF operation to prevent RSF escape from the presidential palace led to the destruction of dozens of RSF vehicles and the deaths of many fighters along Al-Qasr Avenue as they tried to break free from the encirclement.

By Thursday afternoon, SAF units from the general command captured key sites such as the Sudanese Kuwaiti centre building and the Mek Nimr Bridge, both located a few hundreds meters to the east of the presidential palace, making the capture of the presidential palace more imminent.

Videos geolocated to the presidential palace show SAF soldiers celebrating their victory. They pose outside the building, holding Sudanese flags, rifles and flashing victory signs, surrounded by debris and shattered windows – the result of two years of brutal fighting. The soldiers' expressions, a mix of pride and defiance, highlight the significance of this operation in the broader context of the ongoing war.

One of the videos is a radio communication filmed from the Sudanese army's command-and-control room at the General Command, declaring to army units and commanders the full control over the presidential palace.

Army statement

In a subsequent video statement, army spokesman Brig. Gen. Nabil Abdallah claimed the complete destruction of RSF forces in downtown Khartoum, including the Grand Market and the presidential palace, and the seizure of significant amounts of RSF weaponry.

The statement reiterated the military's commitment to continue the fight and portrayed the victory as a decisive step toward restoring control over the capital and purging the country of what the army refers to as "the filth of the militia and its allies."

"In an immortal heroic battle, our forces today crowned their successes in the Khartoum fronts, where they managed to crush the remnants of the Al-Daglo militia terrorists in central Khartoum, the Arab Market, the Presidential Palace (a symbol of the sovereignty and dignity of the Sudanese nation), and the ministries. Thanks to Allah's help and guidance, our forces completely destroyed the enemy's personnel and equipment and seized large quantities of their weapons and gear in the mentioned areas. We dedicate these victories to our patient people and confirm that we will continue advancing on all battlefronts until victory is achieved by purging every inch of our land from the filth of the militia and its allies," he said.

The presidential palace had been one of the RSF's most fortified positions, essential to both their symbolic and operational hold over the capital and the central Sudanese region. The fall of the palace now signals the near-collapse of RSF presence, not only in Khartoum, but also in the entire region.

Over the past months, SAF forces have retaken positions controlled by the RSF, conducting coordinated offensives to systematically neutralize their forces in several strategic districts of the capital region.

A significant breakthrough occurred on January 24, when SAF forces linked their units in northern Bahri with those in the south, partially breaking the siege on their headquarters. By late February and early March, SAF had seized full control of the Bahri, also known as Khartoum North, and East Nile localities, effectively ending RSF presence in the regions to the North and East of the Blue Nile River. These gains paved the way for the final assault on RSF positions in the capital.

Despite enduring successive critical losses, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as "Hemedti," vowed on Saturday to continue the fight. He attacked army generals and promised victory for his forces by the 17th of Ramadan, a day that coincides with the historic Battle of Badr in Islamic history.

Across SAF-controlled territories, videos emerged showing soldiers and supporters celebrating the SAF's capture of the palace, while sporadic gunfire was heard in Omdurman, Bahri, East Nile, and other major cities.

The battle for Khartoum will now shift to RSF-controlled areas in southern neighborhoods like Gabra, Soba, and Jebel Awlia, where the RSF has limited defensive capabilities. It is unlikely that the RSF will maintain control over these areas without substantial reinforcements.

However, the only remaining supply route for the RSF into Khartoum, the Jebel Awlia Dam bridge, is a single-lane crossing, making large-scale immediate reinforcements unlikely. Recent RSF withdrawals toward Darfur suggest a strategic retreat, signaling a shift to an insurgency-style campaign in the desert regions, where the RSF holds stronger local support

Here are some combat videos from the operation that took place between March 16, 2025, and March 20, 2025. On March 16, the Sudanese army advanced into Central Khartoum, and yesterday they regained control of the presidential palace. While many RSF militias fled, several were targeted during their retreat, with some being killed near the presidential palace, although many managed to escape.

The flank operation in Leramone by the "Jaysh al-Muhadzhirin val'-Ansar" military unit, as well as the "Jabhat Nusra" (Buhari Jamaat, Sejfullah) division and other groups began on the night of May 8-9.

After the firefight, the assault groups went into the attack. The attack lasted until May 12. During the assault, the military took over more than 20 large objects in Az-Zahra.

A video report from the attack showed moments of the assault on May 11. After the emergence of a large number of objects, the mudzhahidi put out a new line of ribata and prepared for further progress.

Interesting use of American and Chinese Weapons..

Not sure why the video quality is ass considering they formed ... 6 days ago but anyways :

A newly formed organization in Pakistan, dubbed Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami: Pakistan, has proclaimed its intent to wage jihad. Spearheaded by Amir Ghazi Shahabuddin, this group has emerged with a contingent of heavily armed fighters, stirring concerns about its potential impact on the region's stability.

The organization's roots may trace back to the era of resistance against Soviet forces in Afghanistan. During that conflict, a notable figure named Mullah Omar held the position of deputy commander across several regions—Kandahar, Zabul, Herat, and Farah—within the ranks of Harakat-Inqilab-I-Islami (Islamic Revolution Movement). To the uninitiated– Mullah Muhammad Omar was an Afghan militant leader who founded the Taliban in 1994. This earlier group operated under the leadership of Nabi Mohammadi, and the similarity in naming conventions has fueled speculation that Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami:: Pakistan could be a modern offshoot or successor to that historical faction. Well, thats a possibility, some speculate.

Adding to the unease of Pakistani security forces is that, there are whispers that this new entity might be connected to al-Qaeda. Though these assertions remain unverified, the possibility of such an alliance amplifies the perceived threat posed by the group, given al-Qaeda's established history of militancy.

The announcement of jihad by Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami:: Pakistan marks a significant development for Pakistan, a nation already navigating complex security challenges. As reported earlier today that there have been 57 attacks in 48 hours inside Pakistan. The presence of a well-armed faction with potential ties to both historical and contemporary extremist movements suggests a heightened risk of unrest in Afg-Pak region.

These are some of the expected people within the IIF :
