Drame au Soudan : 9 civils tués par l'explosion d'une mine au Kordofan-Sud

The center of the country was once again plunged into mourning this Sunday, February 22, 2026. Nine passengers of a tuk-tuk, including three children , lost their lives after their vehicle ran over an anti-tank mine.

The circumstances of the tragedy

The accident occurred on the road leading to the Al-Abbasiya market. According to eyewitness accounts gathered at the scene:

  1. The vehicle: A tuk-tuk transporting civilians was literally pulverized by the blast.
  2. The testimony: An eyewitness, Abdelbagi Issa, describes a scene of horror where the vehicle is nothing more than a "metal carcass".
  3. The toll: Confirmed by a local medical source, it stands at 9 immediate deaths.

A country fractured by three years of conflict

This tragedy is part of the context of the civil war that has been ravaging Sudan since April 2023, pitting the regular army against the paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) .

The key figure: The UN describes the situation in Sudan as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis", with more than 11 million displaced people and tens of thousands of victims.

Overview of territorial control

South Kordofan, a border area with South Sudan, remains one of the hotspots of this confrontation where the front lines are constantly shifting:

  1. The regular army maintains its positions in the North, East and Center.
  2. The FSR control vast areas in the West (Darfur) and the South, where they are trying to establish a parallel administration.
