Radio Dabanga reported last week about opening of a battle on a third front in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA-North) on Friday.
Reports from the ground also suggested that tens of thousands of citizens have fled Damazin, the epicenter of the latest spate of attacks. The city has become almost empty owing to people fleeing to the neighboring cities of Sennar and Singar.
Hudhayfah Mohiuddin Mohammed, spokesperson of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in the central Sudan said in a statement, “Approximately 150,000 people who were forced to flee from the Blue Nile State now live in camps in Haroon and Singa areas of Sennar State under bad humanitarian conditions.”
A citizen of the Blue Nile described the the situation in the state as very difficult, especially the humanitarian plight of thousands of people fleeing the state. “In addition to that there are arrests and random shootings by the forces of the Central Reserve Forces or the Abu Tira,” she told Radio Dabanga.
