A brutal conflict between rival military factions has left the capital among the hardest-hit regions, with devastating consequences for civilians and infrastructure. Early reports indicate severe destruction and widespread displacement as clashes escalate between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The scale of the violence raises urgent humanitarian concerns, particularly in densely populated areas already strained by instability. Residents and aid workers describe a rapidly deteriorating situation, though full assessments remain difficult amid ongoing hostilities.
The capital was one of the first areas to be affected, and one of the worst hit, by the war between the SAF and the RSF.
