MSF: Sexual violence pervasive in Sudan beyond battlefronts

MSF warns that sexual violence remains a daily reality in Sudan, even in Darfur areas far from active fighting. Based on 3,396 survivor testimonies (2024–25), most assaults are by armed men—primarily RSF fighters—with ethnic targeting and brutal violence. Many victims were women performing routine tasks like collecting water or traveling to markets. The report calls for accountability and says the humanitarian system has failed to adequately protect survivors.

El-Daein hospital strike leaves 64 dead as Sudan's army and RSF trade blame

A drone strike on El-Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur killed 64 people (including 13 children) and wounded 89, leaving the hospital nonfunctional, according to the WHO. The RSF blamed an army drone, while the army denied involvement. The attack comes amid Sudan's civil war, which has killed more than 150,000 people and displaced about 12 million, with calls for de-escalation and an independent investigation into attacks on healthcare.

UN targets RSF commanders after Darfur violence

The UN Security Council imposed sanctions on four RSF leaders linked to atrocities in el-Fasher, Darfur, after a UN fact-finding mission described the October takeover as genocide; the RSF and its backers deny systematic abuses and say they evacuated hundreds of thousands of civilians, while the broader Sudanese war between the RSF and the army continues to cause massive displacement and humanitarian crisis.

Drones push Sudan's war front into Kordofan, civilians pay the price

Drone strikes have moved the Sudanese civil war’s focus to south-central Kordofan, where near-daily attacks on markets, health facilities and homes are driving mass displacement and famine-like conditions in besieged Kadugli and Dilling. The Sudanese armed forces have regained some ground and broken sieges, while the RSF—with SPLM-N and various regional backers—keeps pressure elsewhere. The UN and humanitarian groups are pleading for civilian protection amid growing concerns of a broader regional spillover and continued hardship for civilians.

Chad shuts eastern Sudan border to curb regional spillover

Chad closed its eastern border with Sudan until further notice to prevent the conflict from spreading after fighting near al‑Tina, saying exceptions may be granted for humanitarian reasons. The move comes as almost a million Sudanese have crossed into Chad since 2023, with casualties reported in border clashes; Chad denies aiding the RSF and warns it may retaliate against aggression.

Riyadh-UAE Rift Deepens as MBS Delivers Formal Complaint Over Yemen and Sudan

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a lengthy complaint to UAE national security adviser Tahnoon bin Zayed, accusing Abu Dhabi of backing Yemen’s RSF and supporting Sudan’s civil war in ways Riyadh cannot tolerate, while offering mediation through Khalid bin Salman. The letter, which framed Yemen as a Saudi sphere of influence and stressed national security, underscores a growing rift with the UAE even as the two sides describe their ties as brotherly and seek behind‑the‑scenes mediation in Washington.
