More than 1,200 people have been newly displaced in Sudan’s South and North Kordofan states due to escalating insecurity, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) reported on Sunday.
The agency said 780 people were displaced from the city of Dilling in South Kordofan between Wednesday and Friday as security conditions worsened. A further 510 people fled the village of Al-Sanjouqi in the Umm Dam Haj Ahmed locality of North Kordofan for the same reasons, the IOM added.
The displaced have relocated to various areas within the Umm Dam Haj Ahmed and Sheikan localities in North Kordofan, according to the agency. The situation in both states remains highly tense and volatile.
Earlier, on December 18, the IOM reported that between 26 October and 17 December, 50,445 people were displaced across Sudan’s three Kordofan states – North, West, and South Kordofan. The region has experienced weeks of intense fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), forcing tens of thousands to flee.
Of Sudan’s 18 states, the RSF controls all five Darfur states in the west, except for parts of North Darfur still under army control. The army maintains control over most areas of the remaining 13 states, including the capital Khartoum.
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has killed thousands and displaced millions, according to UN estimates.
