Thousands flee North Kordofan amid RSF advance

More than 36,000 people have fled North Kordofan since El Fasher fell to the Rapid Support Forces on 26 October. Between 26 and 31 October, 36,825—most on foot—moved toward Tawila, already sheltering over 652,000 displaced, the UN said. Residents report surging RSF and army movements as both sides vie for El Obeid; RSF says its forces massed at Bara after claiming the town. Martha Pobee, assistant UN secretary general for Africa, warned of large-scale atrocities and ethnically motivated reprisals by RSF. Pope Leo urged a ceasefire and aid corridors, while Sudan’s ambassador to Egypt accused RSF of war crimes.
