Sudan war enters fourth year

The devastating conflict in Sudan has reached a grim three-year milestone, leaving more than 13 million people displaced and 30 million without reliable access to food.

International donors pledged $1.5 billion at a recent conference in Berlin, yet humanitarian agencies warn that the 'abandoned crisis' is still critically underfunded.

The Sudanese government has condemned its exclusion from peace talks, further complicating efforts to establish a lasting ceasefire between the army and paramilitary forces.

As the war enters its fourth year, the functional collapse of essential life-support systems threatens to destabilize the wider region.
