RSF Seizes Al-Kurmuk in Blue Nile State Following Intense Clashes
Between March 29 and March 31, 2026, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) overran the strategic town of Al-Kurmuk in Sudan's Blue Nile State. Local monitoring groups and ACLED reported that the offensive displaced 22,000 civilians, who fled toward the Ethiopian border and remote rural areas. The takeover was marked by indiscriminate violence and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Aid organizations expressed concern as the displacement adds to the millions already affected by the ongoing national power struggle.
