Thousands flee as paramilitaries gain ground in Sudan aid hub

Paramilitary forces established a base Sunday in the formerly safe city of Wad Madani in war-correspondent reported, sending thousands fleeing, many of them already displaced. Thousands have sought to escape the former aid hub since the war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) reached Wad Madani on Friday, according to the United Nations. Previously, the city had been "one of Sudan's few remaining sanctuaries", according to the Norwegian Refugee Council's Sudan director William Carter.
