[Sudan] Battles: Government regains territory

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) reportedly regained control of Al Hilba in White Nile state on April 7, 2025, following continued clashes with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The engagement involved SAF airstrikes and resulted in civilian casualties, with RSF forces allegedly attacking and looting civilian areas before withdrawing.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether fighting spreads to economically critical areas of Sudan or affects regional trade corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation of the territorial change and casualty reports from major news outlets or humanitarian organizations
• Track whether fighting expands beyond Al Hilba or intensifies in other parts of White Nile state, potentially affecting agricultural production in Sudan's breadbasket region
