UN Warns of Catastrophe in North Kordofan After RSF-SAF Clashes Kill 45
United Nations monitors have documented the killing of at least 45 civilians in El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, during intense fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The report highlights a worsening humanitarian situation as the SAF 5th Infantry Division establishes defensive berms and checkpoints throughout the city. Human rights organizations warned of an impending catastrophe if the siege-like conditions persist, citing reports of summary executions and indiscriminate shelling by both factions.
