June 9, 2026 (EL GENEINA) – A civil authority linked to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Western Darfur claimed that the Sudanese military destroyed the key Ardamata bridge through a drone attack on Tuesday.
An assault on the bridge in the state capital, El Geneina, occurred just days following another incident that damaged the Kiga bridge, an important passage linking Dilling with Kadugli in South Kordofan region.
The local authority in Western Darfur denounced the early-morning attack in a declaration, labeling it as a clear danger to people’s safety and a deliberate attack on essential regional facilities.
The Ardamata bridge serves as a key transportation route for delivering humanitarian assistance, provisions, and medical equipment from the Adre border point with Chad into the areas of Darfur and Kordofan.
Organizations within the United Nations and global humanitarian groups rely on this passage to provide critical support to numerous displaced individuals and those impacted by conflicts.
Authorities at the local level cautioned that demolishing the bridge shortly before the rainy season could significantly impede the delivery of assistance, possibly leading to a severe humanitarian crisis and disrupting activities throughout Darfur.
The government urged United Nations organizations and global human rights institutions to denounce the damage inflicted on civil structures and take action to maintain the flow of humanitarian routes.
The Sudanese military and the RSF have become more dependent on aerial combat in regions like Darfur and Kordofan, as intensified attacks have caused significant harm to essential facilities such as medical centers, educational institutions, and water treatment sites.
