Kordofan is in the headlines due to Sudan’s civil war and deadly drone strikes hitting the region, triggering massive displacement. Former central Sudan province split into North, South, West Kordofan in 1994.
The conflict in Sudan’s Kordofan region has intensified, with renewed artillery and drone strikes on Dilling and Al-Mojlad. The army says it has recaptured Bara, linking Khartoum to North Kordofan, while the RSF continues attacks on El-Obeid. Civilian casualties and displacement are rising as the war persists.
The UN and aid groups warn that more than 21 million people in Sudan face acute hunger after 1,000 days of conflict, with funding shortfalls risking the suspension of food and nutrition programmes and possibly famine in parts of the country.
