Overview

  • Prime Minister Kamil Idris asked the Security Council to back a ceasefire monitored by the UN, African Union and Arab League that requires RSF withdrawal, encampment and disarmament.
  • Washington and the Quad urged both sides to accept an immediate three‑month humanitarian truce without preconditions, a step the SAF camp has tied to RSF surrender.
  • The United Nations warned the war is entering a deadlier phase focused on Kordofan, noting RSF gains in Babanusa and the Heglig oil field and sieges around Kadugli and Dilling.
  • Drone warfare intensified, with first responders reporting 10 killed at Malha’s Al Harra market on December 22 and UN officials confirming six peacekeepers killed in a December 13 strike on a UNISFA base in Kadugli.
  • Humanitarian operations have been forced to scale back, with UN and NGO staff evacuated from Kadugli and logistics moved due to attacks on civilians, aid workers and health facilities.
