RSF Military Actions in Kordofan Threaten Sudan’s Unity

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are aggressively advancing towards Kordofan, targeting key cities like Babnusa and el-Obeid, following their recent victory in el-Fasher, which resulted in significant violence and casualties. While the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are managing to defend Babnusa, their position appears increasingly precarious. Despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations led by the “Quad,” RSF continues its assaults, aiming to secure control of Kordofan’s vital resources. Analysts warn that this conflict is deepening Sudan’s political and ethnic divisions, potentially leading to further fragmentation.
