KHARTOUM — In a significant military development on February 13, 2026, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) reported breaking the long-standing siege imposed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan. The city, along with nearby Dilling, had been isolated for months, leading to what UN-backed experts describe as 'punishing conditions' and localized famine. The breaking of the blockade follows a week of intense ground operations aimed at securing supply routes from Khartoum and the White Nile state. Despite this tactical success, the humanitarian situation remains dire. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warned today that 20 additional areas in Darfur and Kordofan are at imminent risk of famine. Displacement in Kordofan has surged, with over 88,000 people fleeing their homes since October 2025 as the region becomes the war's primary front line. While the SAF has consolidated control over much of Khartoum and central Sudan, the RSF continues to utilize drone warfare and mobile tactics to harass government supply lines and humanitarian convoys.
