Regarding the strategic importance of the Al-Jili refinery
The Al-Jili refinery is a major economic artery of Sudan, supplying the bulk of the country's fuel and energy needs. The militia's control over the refinery gave it a great logistical advantage, as it operated the fortified facilities as warehouses and supply bases, and created a communications and control system and installed radars to wage war throughout Khartoum, which increased the complexity of military operations around Khartoum. he. However, this reality changed decisively after the army managed to liberate the refinery and secure its surroundings.
The liberation strategy relied on integrated tactics that included a tight siege, cutting the militia's supply lines, and targeting its positions using artillery and drones. The operations resulted in the destruction of combat vehicles and ammunition reserves, as well as the neutralization of the militia's command and control centers and the communications system inside the refinery. This high field coordination reduced Army casualties and ensured control of the installation without completely destroying its infrastructure.
It is also important to know the military and political dimensions of liberation. On a military level, the liberation of the refinery represents a confirmation of the professionalism of the Sudanese army and its ability to manage complex battles against irregular militias. Politically, control of the refinery consolidates state sovereignty over its vital facilities and strengthens the confidence of the Sudanese people in the ability of their armed forces to achieve victory and restore security. This victory also coincided with the merger of forces with the Signal Corps and the army leadership, meaning that Khartoum became completely liberated after clearing out some pockets of rebellion and arresting its collaborators.
The restoration of the refinery not only means freeing up an economic facility, but it also carries major strategic implications, as it completely protects the Nile State from any potential threat from the militias, in addition to guaranteeing the supply of energy of the capital and its surroundings, and deprives the militia of an important logistical focal point. This achievement also boosts the morale of the Sudanese armed forces and people and is an important step towards extending full control over northern Khartoum and other vital areas.
In conclusion: The liberation of the Al-Jili refinery reflects a major change in the balance of power in favor of the Sudanese army. This achievement, which adds to other successes on the ground, confirms that the armed forces are moving resolutely towards achieving their ultimate objective: restoring the sovereignty of Sudan and extending security and peace throughout the country. The case of the militia and its supporters is definitively closed.
May you always be well.
