Escalating Conflict Forces South Sudanese to Flee and Seek Refuge.

Battles between Sudan's army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) could upend the shaky peace process in neighbouring South Sudan due to possible oil flow issues and demographic concerns. South Sudan risks an economic catastrophe and renewed conflict if its vital oil exports, which flow through Sudan, are damaged or disrupted by battles between the Sudanese army and RSF. The return of thousands of South Sudanese refugees who had sought asylum in Sudan during the civil war could lead to renewed local conflicts due to land and demographic disputes.
