Sudan civil war humanitarian crisis and territorial shifts
Overview
The war between Sudan’s regular army (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has evolved into a multi-year catastrophe. By late 2026, the Kordofan region emerged as a primary battleground, serving as a critical corridor between SAF-controlled central regions and RSF-controlled Darfur. In early October, the SAF seized the strategic town of Al-Mazroub in North Kordofan, a move expected to disrupt RSF supply lines. Meanwhile, the SAF reported capturing the Bir Kelekel area in West Darfur and expanding influence across Khartoum, Omdurman, and El Obeid. Fighting has intensified in Blue Nile state, where the SAF and the Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS), an alliance of the RSF and the SPLM-N, have issued conflicting reports regarding control of the Al-Baraka area. While TASIS claimed to have captured the Al-Baraka military base, the SAF later reported regaining control of the Bukuri military base and the Uklili area. Additionally, the SAF conducted airstrikes against RSF command centers in Nyala, South Darfur, causing significant losses, though the RSF countered with unverified claims of a drone strike on a civilian livestock market. Humanitarian conditions remain dire. A UN fact-finding mission investigating the 2025 siege of El Fasher concluded that the RSF’s campaign against Zaghawa and Fur communities showed “indicators of a genocidal path,” noting mass killings and forced starvation. Investigators also highlighted the alleged involvement of Colombian private military contractors. Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem further alleged that Ukrainian military personnel are fighting alongside the RSF, claiming the involvement of various foreign citizens is “absolutely irrefutable.” In response to ongoing atrocities, the Sudanese Embassy in Ankara and various trade unions issued a joint declaration calling for the international community to designate the RSF as a terrorist organization.
