Dozens killed in rebel attacks on Sudan’s Kordofan, medical group says
The latest violence in South Kordofan shows how Sudan’s war is expanding beyond the direct SAF-RSF battlefield. The Sudan Doctors Network says SPLM-N fighters killed at least 27 civilians, including four children, in Qardud and Abu Hamama. Al Jazeera reports that the areas are inhabited by the Otoro minority, adding an ethnic dimension to the conflict and driving further civilian displacement.
