The Sudanese army is in combat with the RSF for control of the al-Jili oil refinery near Khartoum, amid reports of widespread fighting in other regions including el-Fasher. Both parties continue to accuse each other of war crimes, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions and prompting refugee movements to South Sudan.
The Sudanese army is engaged in a fierce battle with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for control of the strategically significant al-Jili oil refinery, located north of Khartoum. Recent developments indicate that the army attacked RSF positions as part of a broader offensive to regain lost territory. Despite these efforts, control of the refinery remains elusive for the army amid ongoing clashes and heavy fighting.
Sudan has been engulfed in conflict since April 2023, primarily due to escalating tensions between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The resulting violence has led to the displacement of approximately 12 million individuals and widespread devastation across the country. Additionally, the conflict has affected neighboring South Sudan, prompting significant refugee movements across the border.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to escalate, with significant implications for both the nation and the surrounding regions. As the army intensifies its offensive against the RSF for control of key resources, the humanitarian crisis deepens, highlighting urgent international concerns regarding the violence against civilians. The situation remains precarious as the fighting continues, resulting in substantial loss of life and further displacement.
