At least 44 civilians were killed and 28 injured in Kadugli, South Kordofan, by SPLM-N shelling. The assault included notable casualties such as Imam Nizar Mohamed Tom. South Kordofan Governor condemned the attack as brutal, while military officials assert they have regained control after intense conflicts. The ongoing violent conflict in Sudan has led to massive displacement and a looming humanitarian crisis.
At least 44 civilians have lost their lives, and 28 others have sustained injuries due to a recent attack by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), under the leadership of Abdelaziz al-Hilu. This incident occurred in Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan state, as announced by Sudanese authorities on Monday. Among the victims of the shelling was Imam Nizar Mohamed Tom, a respected religious leader at the Kadugli Old Mosque.
The SPLM-N has been engaged in conflict with the Sudanese army in the regions of South Kordofan and Blue Nile since 2011. The group demands recognition of special status for these areas. Recent escalations in violence have heightened the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where the ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army and various factions have resulted in extensive casualties and displacement.
The attack on Kadugli underscores the escalating violence faced by civilians in Sudan, as demonstrated by governmental claims of effective military response against the SPLM-N. The consequences of this conflict continue to amplify, with significant loss of life and the humanitarian condition deteriorating, as millions face starvation and displacement due to continued hostilities.
