The Sudanese Railways Authority mourned fourteen employees killed in Babnusa, West Kordofan, amid clashes between General al-Burhan’s army (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces. The authority described the deaths as a profound national and professional loss, praising staff for serving despite extreme security risks.
Railway workers continued operations under dangerous conditions, ensuring essential services remained active amidst escalating violence across the region. Infrastructure and public service operations in West Kordofan have been severely disrupted, reflecting the wider humanitarian and operational toll of the fighting.
The Sudanese Railways Authority called for protection of essential workers, emphasising their critical role in maintaining the nation’s connectivity and stability. Local communities bear the brunt of the conflict, with daily life and economic activity increasingly constrained by insecurity and ongoing hostilities.
Authorities warn that continued clashes threaten essential services and risk further loss of life among civilians and public sector employees.
