RSF and SPLM-N Seize Strategic Positions in Sudan's Blue Nile State
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the SPLM-N (al-Hilu faction) captured four military positions—Sali, Mokan, Khor Hassan, and Karn Karn—in Blue Nile State on May 7, 2026. This offensive marks a significant northward push toward the regional capital, Ed Damazin. Concurrently, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo made a public appearance on May 8, declaring his forces are prepared to fight the Sudanese Armed Forces for decades if a settlement is not reached.
