Conflict in Um Kadadah (Um Kadadah Town), North Darfur
On 22 February 2024, clashes erupted between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and armed tribal groups in Um Kadadah Town of Um Kadadah locality, North Darfur.
Field teams reported that the event led to widespread displacement across Um Kadadah locality, displacing the majority of Um Kadadah Town residents.
Affected households sought refuge in surrounding locations including Burush Town and Jebel Hilla, Um Gafala, Zarafa, Umm Sidra, El Mashura and Damair villages of Um Kadadah locality. The situation remains tense and unpredictable.
DTM will continue to monitor the developments closely and will provide further information on displacement and population mobility across Sudan, on a weekly basis, via its Weekly Displacement Snapshot.
