Claim 1: “the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacked villages across the region”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm RSF activity and attacks in the Kordofan region. TRT World reports thousands fleeing North Kordofan villages due to clashes between the army and RSF, and TRT Afrika reports RSF drone strikes killing civilians in North Kordofan State. Additionally, a report on paramilitary attacks in W. Sudan notes the RSF's control of towns in West Kordofan and their siege of El Obeid.

Claim 2: “Thousands of families have fled to Sudan’s North Kordofan’s capital in the latest wave of displacement”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one source ('Report From Sudan') mentions a family fleeing to El-Obeid and the British Red Cross confirms El-Obeid has been severely impacted by conflict, there is no evidence from multiple independent sources specifically confirming that 'thousands of families' have fled there in a 'latest wave'. One source discusses displacement from El-Fasher, which is a different city in North Darfur.
