"Since then, oil- and gold-rich Sudan, with its vast agricultural lands, has turned into what the UN and other aid organizations call the world's largest humanitarian and displacement crises. According to the UN, some 14 million people remain displaced within Sudan and in neighboring countries. The estimated death tally ranges between 40,000 and 250,000 people. More accurate or updated figures remain out of reach as fighting continues, satellite-based internet communication is curbed, and many aid organizations and observers have left the country."
"The UN World Food Program (WFP) announced that they will cut support for civilians in Sudan to the bare minimum from January 2026 onwardsImage: Zohra Bensemra/REUTERS New hotspot: Kordofan Fighting between the RSF and SAF meanwhile is concentrated on the region of Kordofan, where the Sudanese army holds control of several cities that are surrounded by the paramilitary RSF. Kordofan is also the last region that separates army-held territories in the north and the center, including Sudan's capital Khartoum, and RSF-controlled areas in Sudan's western Darfur region and parts of the south."
Intense fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023 has devastated Sudan, impacting oil, gold and agricultural regions. Around 14 million people are displaced internally or in neighboring countries, and estimated deaths range from 40,000 to 250,000, with precise figures unobtainable due to continued combat, curtailed satellite internet, and the withdrawal of many aid organizations and observers. Humanitarian operations face severe constraints, with the World Food Program planning drastic cuts to civilian support from January 2026. Violence has recently surged in Kordofan, a strategic area dividing SAF- and RSF-held territories.
