Sudanese Army Breaks RSF Siege to Reopen Supply Route to Kadugli
Sudanese army's breakthrough ends months-long siege, enabling delivery of food and medicine amid a humanitarian crisis affecting 147,000 displaced civilians, the UN reported.
- On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Sudanese army forces said they broke the Rapid Support Forces-led siege and entered Kadugli, South Kordofan, marking their second major advance this week.
- Since April 2023, the conflict has seen RSF and allied groups encircle cities, with Kadugli besieged for much of the nearly three-year war and the UN confirmed a famine last year.
- Army sources told AFP that fierce fighting on the Dilling–Kadugli road defeated RSF units and the Hilu militia, describing the breakthrough as a `heroic battle` to open the crucial route.
- General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said the breakthrough opened a supply route to Kadugli, allowing resupply and aid to reach civilians in Kordofan, but he rejected any truce strengthening the RSF.
- The nearly three-year war has uprooted 13.6 million people and left over 40,000 dead, while more than 88,000 fled Kordofan since October and around 147,000 evacuated from Kadugli.
