The Sudan conflict has expanded from Darfur to the strategic Kordofan region, forcing over 36,000 civilians to flee in less than a week. As the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese army battle for control of key logistics hub El-Obeid, the UN warns of ethnic reprisals and "large-scale atrocities" reminiscent of patterns seen in Darfur.
