Drone Strikes and Conflict Threaten Civilians in Sudan's El Obeid Amid Army-RSF Clashes
Sudan's city of El Obeid faces significant risks amid ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). After the Army regained control of a key highway to Khartoum, drone strikes attributed to the RSF targeted the city, damaging infrastructure but causing no reported casualties. The conflict has involved encirclement tactics, aid restrictions, and violence against civilians, including documented abuses such as executions and looting. The war has resulted in widespread displacement and humanitarian crises across the Kordofan region.
