At least 30 displaced civilians, including 26 women and 4 children, were killed in an RSF drone strike on Wad al-Mahi province in southeastern Sudan, according to the provincial governor. The attack, which also wounded dozens, is the latest in a series of drone strikes on the Blue Nile region as the RSF pushes toward Damazin.
Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has ruled out negotiations and vowed to retake all territory controlled by the RSF, saying the military option will continue until the force is removed from the country. His remarks came as a local charity reported 10 civilians killed in an RSF attack in West Kordofan, and the IOM said more than 5,500 people had been displaced in Blue Nile state over three days.
Sudan's army has made gains against the RSF, but analysts warn that military victories alone may not end the conflict, which could break apart into smaller wars. The SAF's coalitions are fragile, Islamist forces are regrouping, and Darfur remains a structural challenge.
Recent Sudanese army victories in North Kordofan, a wave of defections from the Rapid Support Forces, and General al-Burhan's opening of a political channel suggest the conflict may be entering a new phase. The army is turning battlefield gains into political leverage, while the RSF faces growing internal cohesion challenges.
Sudanese military and government sources report that RSF forces and allies have entered Kurmuk, a strategic border town with Ethiopia, as army troops withdraw. The RSF says it inflicted heavy losses, while local authorities claim the army is defending fiercely. The town changed hands earlier this year amid Sudan's ongoing civil war.
A mass grave with at least 25 bodies, including children and women, has been found in Kurmuk, Blue Nile state, Sudan. Local officials blame the Rapid Support Forces for the killings, while the RSF has not yet responded.
Sudanese army and allied forces repelled two RSF attacks near Bir Saliba in West Darfur, killing a top RSF commander and destroying dozens of vehicles. The Joint Force says it is preparing for a decisive battle to retake el-Geneina, while the RSF has shifted to drone use after losing key supply routes. Over 6,650 people were displaced in recent clashes, adding to the 13 million displaced since the war began.
As conflict in Sudan continues, the city of el-Obeid risks becoming the next site of genocidal violence, yet international inaction persists. Historical failures, from Rwanda to Darfur, underline a global reluctance to intervene, raising a stark question about how many more tragedies must occur before prevention becomes a priority.
A covert human rights network races against time to record atrocities in Sudan before evidence disappears. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are accused of genocide, mass executions, and widespread sexual violence. Field teams face huge obstacles but their documentation is crucial for future prosecutions.
