In the new civil war in Sudan, the RSF has gained large parts of the state. On 25 April 2023, the RSF took control of
Wad Banda. Despite RSF control of Wad Banda, West Kordofan had not been in conflict until August. On 14 August 2023, the RSF attacked the town of El-Khoi, resulting in the injuries of 3 civilians, seizing two police vehicles, one ambulance, and one civilian vehicle. By the 16th, the RSF waged an offensive on the capital of the state, El-Fulah, against the Sudanese army. By the end of 2023, RSF gained areas in the state. In the beginning of 2024, the RSF laid
siege to Babanusa. This comes in response to SAF airstrikes near the city. By the end of 2024, the RSF had gained a heavy upper hand in the state by taking control of the capital and main roads with all the major localities, villages, towns, and cities, under its control. The RSF captured the capital, El-Fulah, after the Sudanese army withdrew to Babanusa. The SAF was able to keep control of its positions in En-Nahud but is surrounded. The Sudanese army made progress as well lifting the siege of Babanusa. Since June 2024, the conflict in West Kordofan has been unreported and seems no sides are waging military campaigns against the other in the state. ==Districts==
