RSF expands attacks to eastern Sudan, opening new fronts against army

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have escalated attacks in Kassala and Al Qadarif in eastern Sudan, while fighting continues in the Blue Nile region. This widening of the conflict may force the Sudanese army to disperse its forces, potentially easing pressure on RSF positions in Darfur and allowing them to regroup. The strategic intent and the army's response remain uncertain.
