The war between Sudan’s regular army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has evolved into a multi-year catastrophe. By August 2026, the humanitarian situation reached critical levels, with over 33 million people requiring aid. A UN investigative mechanism concluded that the RSF and allied militias committed genocide in Darfur, citing mass killings, gang rapes, and forced starvation. In mid-August 2026, the conflict saw a significant escalation in drone warfare. The RSF launched coordinated drone strikes targeting airports and fuel storage, while fighting in Blue Nile State intensified as the RSF and SPLM-N seized the Bakori and Surkum military bases. By early September, reports emerged suggesting Israel provided covert intelligence and military assistance to the RSF. By early September 2026, displacement and ethnic violence continued to escalate. In South Kordofan, the Sudan Doctors Network reported at least 26 deaths following two attacks. The first, attributed to the SPLM-N in the Debi and Luwairi areas, killed over 21 people, including women and children, in an action described as an attack on the Otoro tribe based on ethnicity. A second incident involving SPLM-N artillery shelling in Dilling killed five people, including a child, in residential neighborhoods.
