KHARTOUM: The International Organisation for Migration announced that 1,205 people were displaced from the cities of Bara and Umm Ruwaba in North Kordofan state.
Another 360 people fled from Al-Abbasiya and Delami in South Kordofan due to worsening insecurity.
IOM teams operating under the Displacement Tracking Matrix programme estimated that 580 people fled Bara and 625 left Umm Ruwaba.
The displaced moved to various locations within North Kordofan and to several towns in White Nile state in southern Sudan.
This latest wave follows earlier movements in North Kordofan where 36,625 people were displaced between October 26 and 31.
In South Kordofan state, 180 people were displaced from Al-Abbasiya and 180 from Delami.

Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been locked in a war that regional and international mediations have failed to end.
The conflict has killed 20,000 people and displaced more than 15 million as refugees and internally displaced persons according to UN and local reports. – Bernama-Anadolu
