570 Civilians Flee Kadugli Amid Rising Insecurity in South Kordofan

The UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that 570 civilians were displaced from Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan, between January 8 and 10 due to escalating insecurity. The displaced families have moved toward areas in White Nile State in southern Sudan.

IOM described the situation in Kadugli as “tense and volatile” and said its teams are continuing to closely monitor developments. Between October 25 and December 30, 2025, the number of displaced people across Sudan’s three Kordofan states—North, West, and South—had risen to 64,890.
