Tawila
Tawila or Tawilah (Arabic: طويلة) is a town in North Darfur State, Sudan.
History
In 2004, the town was destroyed during the War in Darfur. The town has been victimised by militiamen. The United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur was active in the area.
During the War in Sudan (2023), tens of thousands of civilians were displaced from the town following clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. On 19 June 2023, the RSF seized an SAF garrison in killing a number of armed forces soldiers. As of 23 September 2023, The Sudan Liberation Movement (al-Nur) has gained control of the town. In September 2024, it was reported that at least ten children a day were dying from starvation in the town.
