Summary
The article reports on escalating violence in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan province in Sudan, where the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are threatening to lay siege to the city. A humanitarian worker describes daily explosions and drone attacks targeting essential infrastructure like schools, electricity, water, and fuel. This raises fears of a repeat of the devastating siege and fall of El Fasher in North Darfur last year, which resulted in a massacre.
