Kordofan reels as war rages, famine and fear closing in

UN human rights boss Volker Türk is sounding alarms over hundreds of dead civilians in Sudan's Kordofan region, where the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces have been going at it since late October. At least 269 people got killed through airstrikes, shelling, drone hits, and straight-up executions, but the real number is probably way higher because internet blackouts are blocking anyone from reporting what's actually happening on the ground.

An RSF drone smoked a funeral tent in El Obeid and took out 45 people, mostly women, while an SAF airstrike in Kauda killed 48 civilians. More than 45,000 people bounced from their homes, and aid groups say famine has already hit Kadugli, with Dilling not far behind, since armed groups keep blocking relief supplies.

Türk wants everyone to stop pretending this is fine, demanding immediate ceasefires, open aid routes, and an end to weapons flowing into the country before Kordofan turns into another El Fasher disaster.
