Heavy Fighting Continues in Sudan's Kordofan and Darfur Regions
Heavy fighting continues in Sudan's Kordofan and Darfur regions. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) clash, with both sides claiming control over areas. Meanwhile, Sudan's Prime Minister Kamil Idris has appointed five new ministers, bringing the total appointed to 10 out of 22 announced positions.
The conflict escalated as RSF stormed El Fasher in North Darfur, seizing a cattle market, a prison, and a military base. SAF responded with a counterattack, pushing RSF out of the city. Both sides have since claimed control over the Umm Sumayyah area in North Kordofan. The fighting has taken a toll on civilians, with at least 21 killed in recent days, including three children in an RSF attack on Shaq Al-Noum.
Aerial bombings by SAF on Al-Fula and Abu Zabad in West Kordofan state have resulted in at least 10 civilian deaths and injuries. RSF drones continued to attack El Fasher throughout Saturday. The UNICEF reports a 46% increase in severe acute malnutrition among children in Darfur between January and May 2025, highlighting the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
In Ethiopia, the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) launched an offensive against the Fano militia in the Raya Kobo area of the Amhara region.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan's Kordofan and Darfur regions has led to a significant increase in civilian casualties and a humanitarian crisis, with children particularly affected. The appointment of new ministers in Sudan's government may signal a shift in the country's leadership, but the focus remains on the escalating violence and its impact on the civilian population.
