The RSF's use of drone attacks indicates a shift in tactics, potentially increasing the intensity and reach of their operations against the Sudanese army.
The humanitarian impact of the conflict is severe, with over 11 million people displaced, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention and support.
The control of Singa by the Sudanese army could alter the dynamics of the conflict, potentially leading to further offensives against RSF-held territories.
The ongoing conflict may escalate as both the RSF and the Sudanese army continue to engage in aggressive tactics, potentially leading to more civilian casualties and displacement.
International pressure may increase for a ceasefire or peace negotiations as humanitarian conditions worsen in the affected regions.
The RSF's continued presence in key areas suggests that the conflict will remain unresolved in the near term, prolonging instability in Sudan.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a drone attack at dawn on November 25, 2024, targeting sites north of Omdurman, Sudan, and stormed approximately 10 villages in the East Nile locality, according to reports from Al Jazeera and local government sources. This attack marks the second drone assault in recent days, following a similar attack on the Wadi Saydna military base. The Sudanese army's anti-aircraft defenses engaged the RSF during the assault, which was accompanied by heavy gunfire in the area.
In El Fasher, western Sudan, ongoing battles have resulted in civilian casualties, with reports indicating that seven civilians were killed and 47 injured due to artillery shelling by the RSF on the Abu Shouk camp market. The conflict has forced many residents, particularly women and children, to flee their homes in search of safety. The RSF continues to target civilian areas with heavy artillery, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The Sudanese army has achieved a significant milestone by regaining control of the 17th Division headquarters in Singa, Sennar State, after intense fighting. This marks the first state capital reclaimed by the army since the conflict began in April 2023, providing a strategic advantage by linking army-controlled regions in eastern and central Sudan. Despite this, RSF forces remain active in several areas of Sennar and Al-Jazeera States.
