RSF and SPLM-N Coalition Captures Strategic Border City of Kurmuk
A rebel alliance of the RSF and SPLM-N seized the strategic city of Kurmuk on the border with Ethiopia, triggering the massive displacement of 15,000 civilians. Local sources told the Sudan Tribune that residents fled toward Ed Damazin to avoid the fighting. The loss of Kurmuk marks a significant setback for the Sudanese Armed Forces in the Blue Nile region, as the rebel coalition consolidates control over cross-border trade routes and local administrative centers.
