Nyala (Daju: "the place of chatting") is a city and the capital of the state of South Darfur in the south-west of Sudan, with an estimated population of 1,100,000 in 2024.

However, many sites of ancient antiquities, pottery, engraved pictures of battles, horses, animals and hunting are still awaiting further scientific archaeological work at Jebel Daju.

According to local activists, over 600,000 people have been displaced from the region and are unable to receive humanitarian aid due to the fighting.

Later that year, on 26 October, reports stated that RSF took control of Nyala, as the conflict forced more than 670,000 people to flee their homes.

Water resources in the city have tested to contain bacteria levels higher than permissible amounts, which in turn creates health issues.
