RSF forces displace 23,000 in Sudan's Blue Nile region near Ethiopia
The Rapid Support Forces and allied militias took control of Kurmuk and Geissan localities in Sudan's Blue Nile region, displacing more than 23,000 people since August 11, according to UN figures cited by Al Jazeera. Thousands of displaced residents have fled to Damazin, the regional capital, straining humanitarian resources. The displacement follows months of conflict between the RSF and Sudan's army that has killed hundreds of thousands and destabilized the broader Horn of Africa region. Rainy season conditions are worsening living standards at displacement sites, compounding an already severe humanitarian crisis.
