South Kordofan state

South Kordofan is a state in Sudan and the location of ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allied al-Hilou group. The state is newsworthy due to a recent surge in violence, specifically a drone strike on a preschool in Kalogi. This attack, attributed to the RSF and its ally, resulted in the deaths of over 100 people, many of whom were children. The Sudan Doctors Network has described the incident as a deliberate attack on civilian facilities. The fighting in South Kordofan highlights the worsening humanitarian crisis and the targeting of civilians in the broader conflict between the SAF and RSF, drawing international condemnation and raising concerns about the protection of vulnerable populations.
