The Kordofan Campaign is the theater of the War in Sudan that takes place in the 3 states that make up the Kordofan region: North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and West Kordofan. The campaign began on 15 April 2025, when the RSF claimed to have taken control of the airport in El Obeid, happening on the same day that the war began. Multiple major battles have been fought, including the Siege of El Obeid and the Battle of Kadugli.
