The Sudanese army continues offensives in North Kordofan, recently securing the strategic Jabal al-Dayr area near Al-Rahad, building on gains from last week including the recapture of five cities and a key export route. Military sources indicate this advance strengthens the army’s control over the south and west of North Kordofan, impacting routes used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in South and West Kordofan. Simultaneously, Sudan is experiencing a severe electricity crisis, with the national grid collapsing for the third time this week, threatening the upcoming agricultural season. Clashes are also reported between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North and the Al-Atoro tribe within Kauda. Finally, military confrontations in Ethiopia pose a threat to agriculture in the Al-Qadarif state, highlighting the interconnected regional security challenges facing Sudan.
