Intense clashes in Sudan resulted in at least 65 fatalities and over 130 injuries on February 3, amid ongoing conflict between the army and paramilitary forces. In South Kordofan, artillery strikes on Kadugli led to 40 deaths and 70 injuries, with Governor Mohamed Ibrahim attributing the attack to a faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu. Ibrahim stated this attack was aimed at creating instability in the region and pledged to combat rebel forces around Kadugli.

The conflict in Sudan has intensified significantly since its onset in April 2023, primarily between the nation’s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). As fighting escalates, areas such as South Kordofan and Darfur have seen a surge in violent incidents. The RSF controls significant rural parts, heightening tensions and complicating humanitarian conditions, particularly for displaced populations.

The recent violence in Sudan underscores a deteriorating security situation, with serious implications for civilian safety. With significant casualties reported in both South Kordofan and Darfur, and rising displacements due to conflict, the humanitarian crisis is expected to worsen without immediate international intervention or resolution efforts. Continued hostilities between the military and paramilitary factions threaten further instability in the region.
