20,000 Displaced Following RSF Attacks in Blue Nile State
Heavy fighting in Sudan's Blue Nile state has displaced approximately 20,000 people as of August 30, 2026. The escalation follows a series of coordinated attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the SPLM-N on the Bakori and Sirkam military bases southeast of Damazin. Local relief groups report that families are fleeing toward Wad Al-Mahi and Damazin under dire conditions, facing acute shortages of food and medical supplies as security continues to deteriorate in the region.
