Families flee as Sudan's RSF advances on Sennar city, residents say

Paramilitaries from Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have advanced on the southeastern trading hub of Sennar as they push to expand territorial gains more than 14 months into a war with the army, residents and officials said on Wednesday. U.N. agencies say around 10 million people have fled their homes across Sudan since the army and RSF fell out over a planned integration of their forces and started fighting in the capital Khartoum in April last year. The RSF has since taken over most of Khartoum, the central farming state Gezira and the vast western Darfur region, as well as many parts of the Kordofan regions to the south.
