Escalating Conflict Forces Thousands to Flee Sudan's Wad Madani
TL;DR
The United States Department of State has called on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan to immediately halt their advance towards Wad Medani, as it threatens vulnerable civilians and disrupts humanitarian relief efforts. The RSF's actions in Gezira State have already caused mass displacements and the closure of markets in Wad Medani. The Department is also concerned about renewed fighting in El Fasher, which undermines efforts for a lasting ceasefire and endangers civilians. They urge all parties to cease firing from or near IDP camps to protect civilian lives.
