Ever since the paramilitary group RSF took control of most of the state of Gezira State. It has launched small but not threatening incursions into North Sennar. In June 2024, the RSF launched an offensive against the SAF in the state. The force started by attacking Jebel Moya, a key area controlling a main road, and stormed to take control of the capital, Sinja. It took control of other cities such as Dinder, Mazmoum, and El-Suki and nearby areas connecting it while launching an incursion into Blue Nile state. However in October, the Sudanese military attacked and took control of Jebel Moya. The key area of Jebel Moya being lost led to the RSF losing control of Dinder, El Suki and other areas in Sennar. In November, the Sudanese army recptured Sinja. On 5 March, SAF launched a counteroffensive on the rest of RSF controled territory in Sennar, and on the same day take full control over territories, including Mazmoum.
