Khartoum: Nearly 2,000 more civilians have been displaced from the town of Bara and several nearby villages in Sudan's North Kordofan state over the past three days due to worsening insecurity, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Sunday.

According to Anadolu Agency, the IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) indicated that this new wave of displacement occurred between November 7 and 9 amid attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The UN agency noted that the recent displacement followed a series of attacks in Bara, Sheikan, Rahad, Um Rawaba, and Um Damm Haj Ahmed, resulting in an estimated 38,990 people fleeing for safety since October 26.

Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been engaged in a conflict that regional and international mediations have been unable to resolve. The ongoing war has led to the deaths of thousands of people and the displacement of millions of others.
