Kordofan conflict escalates amid arms flow dispute
The Sudanese authorities issued a warning about drone attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces on the city of El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State. The attacks targeted civilian sites and residents' homes amid ongoing escalation between the two sides in the conflict that has been ongoing since April 2023. The government stated that these attacks constitute a violation of civilians' lives and property, reaffirming its efforts to protect the population and promote stability. Despite these repeated assaults in recent times, including a strike in October that killed five people and injured 47 others, the authorities continue to prioritize civilian safety. In another development, Sudan welcomed the UN Security Council's decision to extend the arms embargo on Darfur for an additional two months, while rejecting the expansion of the embargo to include the entire country. Sudan warned that such an expansion could hinder efforts to prevent illicit weapons flows through neighboring countries, at a time when conflict and a humanitarian catastrophe persist due to the ongoing war.
