Destruction of Ardamata Bridge in West Darfur Disrupts Vital Sudan Aid Route
Overnight explosions on June 9 destroyed the Ardamata Bridge in West Darfur, severing a critical link between El Geneina and the Chadian border. The United Nations warned on June 10 that the loss of this infrastructure halts the primary route for humanitarian supplies and commercial traffic entering the Darfur region. The incident occurs amidst intensified fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for control of the Kordofans.
