The advance of Sudan's armed forces into West Kordofan coincides with the resumption of advances west of Al Obeid and while military operations are already underway in Umm Usheira and Umm Kurid to drive out the remaining rebel forces there. The ultimate goal of these movements of the government forces is to reach the town of Nahud, which was lost in May 2025, and capture this important logistics center between Darfur and Kordofan. With the capture of Eyal Bekit, the SAF are now in a position to advance towards Wad Banda and cut off the route to Darfur, advancing from Umm Samima towards al-Khawi and then on to Nahud - representing a significant government victory after months of attrition in the Kordofan deserts.
