The resident said civilians were seeking shelter at schools and mosques in Kadugli’s eastern neighbourhoods. Some had only recently arrived in Kadugli having previously fled Khartoum, the country’s capital andA number of armies and militias are active in Sudan’s restive southern and western regions, and the advance by the SPLMN will raise fears that the country is sliding into a full-scale civil war.
The SAF has blocked the roads linking Kadugli and Dilling in an attempt to prevent people fleeing the SPLMN advance. However, hundreds of families managed to get out of Kadugli in June and July, many of whom headed for El-Obeid, the capital city of neighbouring North Kordofan state. “I don’t want to leave, I am tired of running away,” Shargawi said, detailing how he had twice had to leave his family home in a village in South Kordofan due to fighting since 2011.
