Comment: Please do not create articles for the sake of creating articles. This line of information can fit with the Battle of Wad Madani (2023–present). The fight did not "break out"; it is a war; we cannot just create an article every time one side retreats before attacking again. Make the article complete by telling the complete story of the battle up to when it ends (hopefully).

The Gezira campaign or the Gezira offensive is an ongoing battle for control of Gezira State. The offensive started when the RSF started advancing towards the city of Wad Madani.[4]
In April 2023, Sudan broke out into another civil war. One side led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, leading the Rapid Support Forces, and on the other side is the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. In 2019, the SAF and the RSF cooperated in overthrowing Omar Al-Bashir's regime.
On December 15th, the RSF captured the strategic Hantoob bridge and entered Wad Madani. The SAF launched airstrikes in the eastern suburbs of the city, but failed to stem the RSF advance. This attack was one day after the SAF had celebrations in the city claiming to repel an RSF attack. The RSF advanced to the main market and captured the city.[5]
Since 250,000 - 300,000 have been displaced[6], civilians have fled to the neighboring states of Al Qadarif, White Nile, and Sennar. Before the RSF offensive on Gezira, the state hosted 500,000 displaced people, mostly from the battle in Khartoum.[7].
