Sudan Conflict

The ongoing conflict in Sudan, which erupted on April 15, 2023, is primarily between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), representing rival factions within the nation's military government. Centered around the capital city of Khartoum and the Darfur region, this conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian crises, including the displacement of over 6 million people, both within Sudan and to neighboring countries. The escalation of violence has not only caused a severe economic downturn, with the World Bank projecting a 12% contraction in Sudan's economy, but it has also created the world's largest child displacement crisis. Amidst these challenges, the international humanitarian response remains underfunded and the situation continues to demand global attention for resolution and aid efforts.
