As the SAF continues to advance in the city of Omdurman, the RSF is consolidating its control over Darfur and western Kordofan. Today the town of En-Nahud was seized, as the militants are stepping up their attacks on el-Fasher.

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the war, and after two years of fighting the front is anything but frozen:

-SAF captured Khartoum, Bahri
-RSF launched a new offensive in Darfur
-RSF and SPLM-N launched joint attacks in Kordofan & Blue Nile

Portraits of Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, and a flag of the recently formed Suwayda Military Council are now also being featured more prominently on the square. But Druze flags still wave alongside Syrian flags.

#Syria.

Some pictures from around Dignity Square in the center of #Suwayda. The square that was the beating heart of regional protests against the #Assad regime.
