Sudan War Enters Fourth Year

Sudan War Enters Fourth Year

Three years of relentless fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have left millions facing famine and mass displacement.

While the international community has finally committed significant financial resources, the flow of weapons into the region continues unabated, complicating any prospects for a lasting ceasefire.

Reports of widespread sexual violence and the targeting of civilians have drawn comparisons to the darkest chapters of the country's history.

As the conflict deepens, the resilience of the Sudanese people is being tested to its absolute limit, with basic infrastructure and food supplies almost entirely destroyed.
