On November 5, local time, the Sudanese armed forces claimed that they had taken back control of the three cities of Abu Qaoud, Kazgir, and Umm Sumaima in northern Kordofan in central Sudan, and launched a new offensive against the rapid support forces. The three cities are located in western North Kordofan. They are important transportation hubs connecting central and western Kordofan and the Darfur region, and have an important strategic position. Recently, the conflict between the two sides in the three states of Kordofan has escalated. Since July of this year, the Sudanese armed forces have launched a series of large-scale offensives, successively recovering various regions in northern Kordofan. Armed clashes broke out between the two sides in the capital Khartoum on April 15, 2023. The fighting spread to other parts of the Sudan. The clashes, which have continued for more than three years, have killed at least 59,000 people.
