Sudan's military conflict has entered a decisive stage that may split the nation permanently. The Rapid Support Forces controls southern territories and most of Darfur while the regular army maintains northern, eastern, and central regions. Each faction operates separate administrations from different cities. Analysts warn this territorial division could create lasting fragmentation similar to Libya's situation.
The RSF besieges El-Fasher, Darfur's final army-held city, trapping 260,000 civilians without aid access. Recent drone attacks killed 75 people at a mosque sheltering displaced residents. Human rights groups fear ethnic violence against local communities. The paramilitaries previously killed thousands of civilians during their 2023 capture of El-Geneina.
Kordofan experiences intensifying battles as both sides fight for strategic oil fields and transport routes. RSF forces killed hundreds during village attacks near Bara before the army recaptured the area. More than 500,000 people remain trapped in blockaded cities facing food shortages.
