Reports from Sudan indicate that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been forced out of areas in North Kordofan state. The reported setback comes as the militia grouping faces pressure from the country’s armed forces.
The RSF is described in the reports as receiving alleged backing from the United Arab Emirates, though the available information does not provide further details about that support. Developments in North Kordofan add to the wider uncertainty surrounding Sudan’s conflict.
Amid the focus on territorial changes and competing armed groups, Sudanese civilians remain overshadowed by the fighting. The country’s importance as a leading gold producer also places its instability in a wider economic context, while reports continue to highlight shifts between the RSF and the armed forces.
