Sudan war enters fourth year

Sudan war enters fourth year

As the brutal conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces grinds on, millions remain displaced and famine continues to spread across the country.

Tom Fletcher, the UN aid chief, lamented that the world has "failed to meet the test of Sudan" as global attention remains focused on other regional wars.

Drone strikes have become a near-daily occurrence, disrupting essential services and forcing the closure of half of the country's lifesaving community kitchens.

Former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has proposed a new peace plan, but previous ceasefires have been repeatedly ignored by the warring factions.
