Sudan's RSF Captures Key Southeastern City Amid Ongoing Conflict

The paramilitary group's advance in Singa intensifies the humanitarian crisis, displacing thousands and threatening further instability.

The RSF claims control of Singa, the capital of Sennar state, though the military reports ongoing clashes.
Millions have been displaced since the conflict began in April 2023, with tens of thousands killed.
The RSF's capture of Singa brings them closer to Port Sudan, a critical stronghold for the Sudanese army and government.
Sennar state, now under RSF influence, is already home to over a million displaced individuals.
The conflict has exacerbated food insecurity, with nearly 26 million people facing acute shortages.
