It’s been three years since civil war erupted in Sudan, when a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and their allies broke out in April 2023, launching major conflict in the region.
Since, 14 million people have been displaced, with famine declared in several locations across Sudan.
While international news cycles focus on the Middle East and Ukraine, the Sudan conflict remains termed the “forgotten war,” despite being one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world.
