00:00Sudan's paramilitary rapid support forces say they have taken full control of Gaisen in the Blu Nile region near the

00:07Ethiopian border.

00:08The Sudanese army disputes that claim, saying fighting is still underway and that it retains control of a key military

00:15base.

00:16The fighting has displaced around 2,500 people, according to the International Organization for Migration, with some civilians crossing into

00:25Ethiopia.

00:26The offensive also reportedly came during harvest season, with the RSF accused of looting crops and the Central Market.

00:34Gaisen's strategic location gives the RSF greater influence along supply routes and near the Rosary's Dam.
