With yet another Sudanese agreement dishonored, tensions between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, or SPLM-N, continue to rise in the country's border states, and violence threatens to spread from South Kordofan to Blue Nile.

Malik Agar, SPLM-N chairman who is also the governor of the Blue Nile state told the Enough Project in Juba that there were no attempts of disarmament by SAF on the ground but he anticipates such action, saying they "do not fear SAF and have a contingency plan in place."
