Between 8 and 12 January 2025, field teams estimated that between 1,000 and 3,000 households were displaced from Um Rawaba town of Um Rawaba locality, North Kordofan. The displacement occurred due to increased security concerns following continued clashes across the locality. Field teams reported that households were primarily displaced to other locations within Um Rawaba, Ar Rahad, and Um Dam Haj Ahmed localities, North Kordofan, as well as to localities in Khartoum, White Nile, and Sennar states. The situation remains tense and unpredictable. DTM will continue to monitor the developments closely and will provide regular updates on displacement and population mobility across Sudan.
