As fighting intensifies, international leaders face pressure to address escalating atrocities, displacement, and famine in Sudan.

For nearly two years, Sudan has been ravaged by a war between the regular army and the RSF, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people, uprooted over 12 million more and created the world's largest hunger and displacement crises.

Overview

  • The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) recently regained control of Khartoum, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
  • The conflict has displaced over 12 million people, with 30 million now reliant on humanitarian aid as famine spreads across the country.
  • Both SAF and RSF are accused of widespread human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, sexual violence, and the looting of civilian property.
  • International funding for humanitarian aid remains critically low, with only 6.3% of the $4.2 billion needed in 2025 received.
  • Global leaders meeting in London on April 15 are being urged to enforce arms embargoes, support civilian protection measures, and ensure accountability for war crimes.
