Otabek YusupovClashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in North Kordofan and Blue Nile are intensifying the crisis: 24.6 million people face acute food shortages, and the UN's 2026 plan is only 41% funded. Drought, floods and disrupted supplies of fertilizer and diesel through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait worsen the situation, while the UN Security Council extended the arms embargo only for Darfur.
