Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North

The Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North (SPLM–N) is a political party and militant organization in Sudan based in the states of Blue Nile and South Kordofan. The group's armed forces are the Sudan People's Liberation Army–North (SPLA–N).

In 2011, when South Sudan broke away from Sudan to form a new country, most of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and Army (SPLA) left with it, leaving units remaining across the border in Sudan to form the SPLA–N.

In 2017, the SPLA–N split into two factions, the SPLA–N (al-Hilu) and SPLA–N (Agar), both of whom have engaged in fighting each other and against the government of Sudan, from approximately 2017–2019. In the wake of the ongoing Sudanese civil war, the al-Hilu faction is fighting against Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and administers a quasi-state in southern Sudan called "New Sudan". On the other hand, the Agar faction was appointed into the military-run government and is engaged in fighting the SAF-opposed Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
