Executive Summary
• Ahmed Haroun: his detention is now strongly corroborated — the dissolved National Congress Party condemns "an arbitrary exercise of power" and demands his release; two defence lawyers say he was taken to Kassala and then Omdurman; a security source says he was "held under legal procedures". No statement from the army or the ICC, and no sign of a transfer.
• Divergent reactions: the Emergency Lawyers group demands his surrender to the ICC; two leaders of the "Somoud" alliance call the arrest "theatre" and say surrender is what is required.
• Kordofan — two accounts: the army says it downed an FH-95 drone east of Wad Banda — the fourth in a week, per Anadolu — and took Umm Marahik; the RSF claims a "crushing defeat" of its opponents, "more than 600" killed and 81 vehicles seized. Neither account is independently verified.
• Hunger displacement: the displaced persons' coordination body says about 2,510 people crossed into Chad and 3,227 reached Tawila between 15 October and 6 November.
• IOM (via Sudan Tribune): 68% of households say livelihoods are their most unmet need — 88% in North Darfur — in a survey of 23,736 households.
