Clashes between SPLM and Sudanese tribe in South Kordofan
The article reports an escalation in fighting in the South Kordofan region of Sudan, where forces from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement - North, led by Abdelaziz El-Hilu, launched extensive attacks on populated areas. This resulted in the burning, looting, and destruction of eight villages, as well as the displacement of thousands of civilians, including women and children. The attack coincided with military reinforcements totaling about 5,000 soldiers supported by weapons and artillery positions, which has increased the severity of the humanitarian crisis in the area. The fighting has been ongoing since May 2023 between the armed tribal groups and the Sudanese government. El-Hilu's goal is to establish a secular system and economic independence for the regions, following the government's rejection of peace and with the conflict further escalating due to border disputes in the Nuba Mountains. The African Union has warned of a worsening humanitarian situation and called for urgent intervention to ensure the protection of civilians and the provision of aid.
