On June 24, the Rapid Support Forces attacked Sennar State and took control of a number of its cities, including the capital, Singa, which they entered on the 29th of the same month.

Recently, the Sudanese army was able to take control of the strategic "Moya" Mountain in Sennar, and retake the cities of Al-Suki and Al-Dinder in the state from the Rapid Support Forces.

Since mid-April 2023, the army and the Rapid Support Forces have been waging a war that has left more than 20,000 dead and more than 13 million displaced and refugees, according to estimates by the United Nations and local authorities.

There are growing international and UN calls to end the war in order to spare Sudan a humanitarian catastrophe that has begun to push millions to famine and death due to food shortages caused by the fighting that has spread to 13 of the 18 states.
