Rapid Support Forces Take Sudan's Second Largest City

 The Washington Post published on 19 December 2023 an article titled "Paramilitary Force Takes City in Heart of Sudan's Breadbasket; 300.000 Flee" by Katharine Houreld.

The article reports the fall of Wad Madani, Sudan's second largest city, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, although parts of the town may still be controlled by the Sudan Armed Forces.  Many of the persons in Wad Madani had fled previously from the Khartoum region and now find themselves fleeing again.  There will inevitably be a humanitarian crisis in Wad Madani.
