About

South Kordofan is a region in western Sudan that has been embroiled in conflict since the early 2000s. The area is home to various ethnic groups, including the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit. In recent years, the region has experienced significant violence and displacement, with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) a key player in the conflict. A nearly two-year siege by RSF on the town of Dilling was recently broken by Sudan's military, leading to a surge in civilian displacement. According to reports, over 1,600 people fled the area in a single day, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the need for international attention and support. The region's instability has significant implications for regional security and the well-being of affected communities.
