Sudan Army Says It Breaks RSF Siege of Dilling, Reopens Key Route

The claimed breakthrough could ease access to a strategic South Kordofan town facing siege-driven hunger.

Overview

  • The military reports reopening the main road to Dilling and securing northern and southern approaches after a decisive operation.
  • Commanders say RSF suffered heavy losses; the paramilitary group has not publicly responded to the claim.
  • Dilling sits between besieged Kadugli and el-Obeid, making control of the corridor crucial for supply lines.
  • UN reporting cites more than 40,000 deaths and millions displaced, with at least 65,000 fleeing Kordofan since October.
  • Famine has been confirmed in Kadugli, while the IPC withheld a famine declaration for Dilling due to limited data, as RSF gains include El Fasher’s capture and the seizure of the Heglig oil field.
