Sudan War: Sudan’s battlefield is shifting. Explore how the Sudanese Army regained key territory, why RSF defections matter, and whether recent victories could finally reshape one of Africa’s deadliest ongoing wars. The Sudanese Armed Forces have advanced in parts of Kordofan and Darfur,
KHARTOUM AUGUST 8: The Sudanese military has recently gained ground and inflicted heavy losses on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). While the army claims the RSF is in its weakest state and is pushing to retake contested regions, the brutal civil war remains a complex and devastating humanitarian crisis without a total final victory yet.
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have advanced in parts of Kordofan and Darfur, reporting defections among senior RSF commanders. Government officials describe the paramilitary group as heavily stretched and deteriorating, though fierce clashes continue across multiple fronts.
Tens of thousands of people have died since the conflict erupted in April 2023. Nearly 13 million people have been forced from their homes, creating one of the world’s worst displacement crises.
