Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights advocate Tawakkol Karman has extended her congratulations to the Sudanese people on the liberation of Wad Madani, the capital of Al-Jazeera State, from the Janjaweed militia.

In a post on her official Facebook page, Karman celebrated the achievement, stating: "Congratulations on the liberation of Wad Madani, the capital of Al-Jazeera State, from the terrorist Janjaweed militias." She likened the significance of Al-Jazeera State to that of Aleppo in Syria, highlighting its strategic and symbolic importance.

Expressing optimism about Sudan's future, Karman added, "In a few days, Sudan will be free from the Janjaweed militias."

The Sudanese army announced on Saturday that it had successfully recaptured Wad Madani, a major city in central Sudan, after more than a year of control by the Rapid Support Forces militia.
