Expansion of Fighting in Sudan
The fighting in Sudan is expanding across multiple fronts, with airstrikes and battles transforming cities into open conflict zones.
The conflict in Sudan is intensifying, with fighting spreading over several fronts. From the banks of the Blue Nile near Ethiopia to the regions of Kordofan, the ongoing airstrikes and battles are turning cities and towns into open battlegrounds. The situation remains precarious as various factions vie for control amidst escalating violence.
Recent attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on army positions around the border town of Kurmuk reflect the growing intensity of the conflict, as the army retaliates with airstrikes on RSF gatherings in the surrounding areas. This tit-for-tat strategy highlights the precarious balance of power in the region, with both sides aiming to disrupt supply lines and assert their dominance in strategic locations.
In South Kordofan, the RSF has targeted army positions south of Kadugli, emphasizing the area's strategic importance in the ongoing struggle for control. Simultaneously, in Darfur, the army has been bombing RSF sites in Nyala, the largest city in South Darfur, while the RSF retaliates by targeting cities like Al-Tina, which serves as a key border crossing with Chad. The situation is complex and fluid, with significant implications for regional stability and humanitarian conditions.
