Sudan's civil war rages on between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), displacing millions and sparking famine. Recent drone strikes and battles in Kordofan and Darfur have killed scores, including children, amid blocked aid.
Escalating Violence
A January 5, 2026, drone attack in el-Obeid claimed 10 lives, seven of them children, as RSF besieges SAF-held cities. Over 100 died in Darfur assaults last week, with RSF capturing El Fasher after an 18-month siege, prompting mass atrocities and international outcry. SAF recaptured parts of Khartoum but faces accusations of chemical weapons and executions.
Humanitarian Toll
Over 11 million displaced; famine grips Darfur as aid stalls due to clashes and sieges. Power cuts plague cities, food prices soar, and both sides face war crime probes. No truce in sight as fronts shift into 2026.
