KHARTOUM, Sudan / ISTANBUL
More than 600 people fled two villages in South Kordofan due to worsening insecurity, the UN migration agency said Monday, as local groups accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of attacking the area.
A statement by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that its field teams estimated that 645 Sudanese were displaced from Tebsa and Afnori in Abbasiya Tagali locality on Nov. 22, citing a rapid deterioration in security conditions.
The displaced families have reached multiple sites across Abbasiya, while the situation on the ground remains “highly tense and volatile,” the statement added.
Two local groups, the Nuba Mountains Platform and the Tebsa Youth Gathering, accused RSF forces and the allied Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) of besieging Tebsa for several hours, storming its market, looting property, and killing one resident and injuring another.
