The commissioner of Wad Al-Mahi Locality in Sudan’s Blue Nile region, Mahjoub Al-Sheikh, has reassured residents that the security situation remains calm and stable and that the area is under the control of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).
He insisted that the public disregard reports circulated by media outlets affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Wad Al-Mahi is a locality in Sudan’s Blue Nile State, situated near the Ethiopian border and approximately 50 kilometers from the state capital, Ad-Damazin.
Speaking in Wad Al-Mahi on Wednesday, Al-Sheikh was responding to claims by RSF-affiliated media platforms that the paramilitary group had seized full control of the locality and advanced to within proximity of neighboring Roseires locality.
“We are currently inside Wad Al-Mahi market after receiving numerous telephone calls from people seeking information about the situation here,” Al-Sheikh said. “This area will not easily fall into the hands of the RSF.”
The governor urged residents to verify information and rely on official sources rather than unsubstantiated reports that could fuel anxiety and uncertainty among local communities.
