Sudan's Civil War and Regional Spillover

RSF and SPLM-N reportedly seized Jabal Kadam in Blue Nile, near strategic routes toward Kurmuk, Geissan, Roseires, and Damazin. The advance could intensify pressure on Blue Nile's capital, the Roseires Dam, Ethiopian border security, and cross-border mobilization; allegations involving Tigrayan fighters and prisoner abuse remain unverified. Sudan's fragmentation and humanitarian emergency continue, with about 8.6 million internally displaced and relief stocks at risk of depletion by late September.
