Sudanese army says it has broken siege of famine-stricken Kadugli

The Sudanese army said it broke a years-long siege on the city of Kadugli on Tuesday, potentially providing tens of thousands of people a reprieve from famine and signaling a shift in the war's momentum.



The conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced millions, drawn in regional powers and caused a vast humanitarian crisis since it broke out in April 2023.



Its latest frontline is the greater Kordofan region, which the RSF began sweeping through after the rainy season ended late last year.
