On Thursday, the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said that they had taken Al Malha under control. The activists said that at least 45 civilians had been killed in the fighting for the city. The organization noted that the civilians were mostly displaced to other places in the area of Al Malha, adding that the situation remains tense and unpredictable. The Sudanese regular army and the paramilitary RSF have been fighting for control of the country since April 2023. The International Committee of the Red Cross said the ongoing hostilities in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a fatal collapse of the healthcare system. Sudan's Ambassador to Russia Mohamed Siraj expressed hope in an interview with Sputnik in early January that the armed conflict would end in 2025.

At Least 15,000 Families Leave Sudan's Al Malha Due to Escalation of Fighting, UN Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - At least 15,000 families had to leave their homes in the city of Al Malha in the Sudanese western province of Darfur between March 20 and 21 due to the escalation of hostilities in the region, the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Monday.
On Thursday, the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said that they had taken Al Malha under control. The activists said that at least 45 civilians had been killed in the fighting for the city.
"Between 20 and 21 March 2025, field teams estimated that 15,000 households were displaced from Al Malha town in Al Malha locality, North Darfur. Displacement reportedly occurred due to clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces, Juba Peace Agreement Joint Forces, and Rapid Support Forces," the IOM said in a statement.
The organization noted that the civilians were mostly displaced to other places in the area of Al Malha, adding that the situation remains tense and unpredictable.
