South Kordofan, Sudan — a patchwork of Nuba peoples with a history from Kush to Alodia and Taqali
Sudan's army-backed authorities are promoting a national dialogue while critics demand a ceasefire and addressing root causes. The AU and regional actors are intensifying mediation efforts, with civilians calling for guarantees, justice, and inclusive participation. The landscape remains fragmented as fighting continues.
The IOM and other agencies warn that Sudan's displacement crisis is worsening as conflict, infrastructure damage, and flooding compound humanitarian needs. Power cuts, disrupted water and health services, and rising prices are affecting millions, with hundreds of thousands displaced in Kordofan, Blue Nile, Darfur and Khartoum. Aid access remains fragile amid supply-chain delays.
The Sudanese war enters a new phase as SAF advances in key fronts, RSF defections rise, and regional powers face ongoing calls for a humanitarian truce. Drones and long-range strikes continue to target civilians and critical infrastructure, prompting fresh international concern.
Clashes in southern Sudan have killed at least 21 people, including women and children, with SPLM-N attacks on Debi and Luweri in Kauda, South Kordofan. The Sudan Doctors Network says the fighting, aligned with RSF, violates a ceasefire and targets civilians; the war has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions, worsening famine across the country.
The Sudan war between the SAF and RSF continues to devastate civilians. International aid is shrinking as funding dries up, leaving millions hungry and displaced. Humanitarian pipelines risk collapse without urgent donor support, while return movements complicate relief efforts.
