The RSF, engaged in a protracted conflict with the army, has advanced into Wad Madani, causing widespread panic and displacement. Aid workers on the ground report that people are “scattering in different directions,” and the situation is dire for those forced to flee with minimal belongings and no clear destination.
Will Carter, the country director for Sudan at the Norwegian Refugee Council, described the desperate situation, stating that people are “fleeing with nothing more than the clothes on their back with nowhere really to turn to, to go to.” The displacement represents a severe humanitarian crisis with potentially devastating consequences for the affected population.
