Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, are intensifying their campaign to seize control of Kordofan, a key region in Sudan. The RSF has faced accusations of violence and abuses during its operations, raising alarm over the escalating conflict.
The RSF's aggressive advance heightens fears of Sudan's potential partition, as competing powers struggle to dominate strategic areas like Kordofan. This turmoil risks deepening Sudan’s fragmentation and undermining national stability.
"The military push for Kordofan leaves Sudan at risk of partition," analysts warn, highlighting how the conflict could escalate beyond local disputes into a broader crisis.
The conflict threatens millions of civilians, contributing to displacement and humanitarian challenges. Regional tensions could intensify if the fighting spreads or invites external interference.
The RSF campaign in Kordofan significantly jeopardizes Sudan's unity, risking division and worsening the civilian crisis amid ongoing military clashes.
