Sudan Conflict Enters Third Year with Intensified Violence in Darfur
As the Sudanese Armed Forces consolidate control over Khartoum, the Rapid Support Forces escalate assaults in Darfur, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
- The war between Sudan's Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced 13 million people, with 8.6 million internally displaced and 3.8 million refugees, according to the UN.
- Recent RSF offensives in Darfur, including the takeover of Zamzam displacement camp, have killed hundreds, displaced up to 400,000 people, and worsened famine conditions in the region.
- The SAF has regained control of Khartoum, but the RSF continues to launch attacks in Darfur, targeting displacement camps and civilian infrastructure.
- International humanitarian agencies report severe funding shortages, with only 6% of the 2025 UN aid appeal funded, threatening critical relief efforts for millions of Sudanese civilians.
- Rights groups and UN officials have called for urgent international action to protect civilians, ensure aid access, and address allegations of war crimes and atrocities committed by both sides.
