The International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced that approximately 64,890 people were displaced from various areas across the Kordofan region between October 25 and December 30, 2025, due to escalating insecurity.
According to IOM, its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) teams recorded 56 displacement incidents during this period, following a surge in violence that began on October 25. Of these incidents, 17 were reported in North Kordofan, 38 in South Kordofan, and one in West Kordofan.
The organization said an estimated 42,780 individuals were displaced from seven localities in North Kordofan, including Um Dam Al-Haj Ahmed, Bara, Jabra Al-Sheikh, Sheikan, Um Rawaba, Al-Rahad, and West Bara.
In South Kordofan, IOM reported that about 21,860 people were displaced from ten areas, among them Kadugli, the Eastern Countryside, Al-Abbasiya, Habila, Qadir, Abu Karshula, Abu Jubaiha, Dalami, and Talodi.
Meanwhile, in West Kordofan, approximately 250 people were displaced from the town of Ghabish as a result of a fire, according to the organization.
In recent days, several areas in North and South Kordofan have witnessed intense military operations between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, triggering new waves of internal displacement.
IOM noted that the Kordofan region currently hosts an estimated 1,028,223 internally displaced persons (IDPs), registered across 1,914 locations in 36 localities. These include about 228,829 IDPs in North Kordofan and roughly 3,000 in South Kordofan.
