According to Suriyak Maps, The Sudanese Armed Forces have restarted offensive operation on the western flank of Wad Mani, reaching the village of Kilu and Bridge 77, putting them just 9km from the Blue Nile River.

This mostly flattens out the frontline, with the exception of the village of El Hosh, where the RSF is still holding out.

In short, the key RSF logistical hub and staging ground city of Wad Madani is coming under increasing threat of capture. This in turn makes future offensive operations on the key city of Sennar (south of Wad Madani) practically impossible.

It appears that the extensive SAF airstrikes on RSF positions in the Al Jazirah and Sennar states are having an effect.

The French website Avions reported that Ukraine will receive its first three Mirage-2000-5F aircraft from France before January 20, 2025, with some sources even suggesting that they are already present in Ukraine but are currently only providing training flights.

Israeli reconnaissance drones continue to fly over Lebanon. This video shows one currently circling over the city of Tyre in the southern part of the country.

Btw, as you may have noticed, I'm an admin in that channel now. I won't post a huge amount in there as the AMK Mapping channel will remain my primary focus, but if you're interested, go subscribe to that channel too. It mainly focuses on conflicts outside of Ukraine.

According to a new poll by Israeli Channel 12, 55% of respondents believe that Netanyahu should fire National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
