Fighting between Sudan’s military and a notorious paramilitary group forced up to 3,00,000 people to flee their homes in a province that had been a safe haven for families displaced by the devastating conflict in the northeastern African country, the UN said. The fighting erupted in the city of Wad Medani, the provincial capital of Jazeera province, after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked this month.

The RSF said that it took over Wad Medani earlier this week, and the military said that its troops withdrew from the city. Sudan’s war began in mid-April after months of tensions between military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and RSF commander Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo.
