More than 36,000 people have escaped Sudan's Kordofan region eastern sector of Darfur since Saturday, according to the UN's migration agency.

The important central zone connecting the country's Darfur areas and the Khartoum-Riverine area has in recent weeks become the latest battleground in the extended civil war between the Sudanese military forces and the militia group.

Massive Evacuation Figures

An estimated 36,825 people escaped five areas in North Kordofan state between 26 October and 31 October, as reported by the International Organization for Migration.

The civilians, most on foot, headed to Tawila, a town west of El Fasher that is currently accommodating in excess of 652,000 evacuated individuals.

Escalated Troop Concentration

Residents of North Kordofan on Monday reported a significant increase in both RSF and army presence across communities throughout the state.

Both forces are vying for control of El Obeid, the North Kordofan state capital and a critical supply and command base that joins Darfur to Khartoum.

"Today, all our forces have gathered at the Bara front here," stated an RSF member in a recently shared video declaration.

Local Inhabitants Report Safety Fears

A resident of Um Smeima, located west of El Obeid, described that the quantity of RSF vehicles had grown significantly since the group's capture of El Fasher.

"We discontinued traveling to our farms, concerned about confrontations," the local explained.

Another resident, who sought confidentiality for security reasons, also reported that "there has been a substantial growth in army vehicles and weapons west and south of El Obeid" over the previous fortnight.

International Concerns and Requests

A senior UN official raised the alarm last week about "extensive crimes" and "ethnically motivated reprisals" by RSF in Bara.

The representative alerted to patterns similar to those in Darfur, where RSF fighters have been accused of mass killings, sexual violence and abductions against certain racial groups.

The religious leader on Sunday appealed for an prompt truce and the establishment of aid passageways in Sudan, stating that attacks on civilians and obstacles to humanitarian aid "are causing unacceptable suffering."

Sudan's official envoy to Egypt on Sunday accused RSF of committing war crimes in El Fasher and declared that the Sudanese government would not discuss with the militia organization.

The representative further urged the world nations to classify the group as a terrorist organisation.
