🇸🇩 ❌️ 🏴‍☠️ The SAF is poised to recapture Khartoum and push the RSF west of the Nile River in a major strategic victory for the SAF.

🔶️ Recapturing Khartoum and pushing the RSF across the Nile is a military and political victory for the SAF that supports the SAF’s grand strategic aim of establishing itself as the only legitimate power in Sudan.

🔶️ The RSF would struggle to recross the Nile as the SAF controls several key bridges on the river.

🔶️ Drone footage in western Khartoum on February 4 shows lines of RSF military vehicles attempting to flee across the Jebel Awliya Dam Bridge from southwestern Khartoum to western Sudan. This bridge is the RSF’s last remaining route into and out of the city.

🔶️ The RSF continues to attack SAF forces in el Fasher, the capital of North Darfur in western Sudan and the last SAF holdout in Darfur, which threatens hundreds of thousands of refugees in the city.

🔶️ International research organizations have expressed concern over the possibility of mass violence against internally displaced persons at the Zamzam refugee camp in el Fasher, as the RSF has blocked an exit route from the camp.

⚖️ 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈 Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas have indicated they wish to review Obergefell v. Hodges gay “marriage” ruling.

🔶️ Last month, Idaho lawmakers approved a resolution that called for the Court to undo its Obergefell v. Hodges decision that declared a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry.

🔶️ After President Donald Trump appointed three conservative justices to the Court in his first term, cementing a 6-3 conservative supermajority, the Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 stripping away the constitutional right to an abortion. Since then, there have been concerns that the Court's conservative justices could do away with other rights, including the right to same-sex marriage.

🔶️ Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two conservative justices who dissented in Obergefell v. Hodges, have suggested that the decision should be reconsidered.

What Is Obergefell v. Hodges?

🔶️ The Supreme Court's decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case declared a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry.
