For over two years, Sudan has been engulfed in a devastating civil war between its military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with both sides accused of committing atrocities and exacerbating a humanitarian crisis. The conflict, which began in 2023, has claimed at least 40,000 lives, though aid groups estimate the toll to be significantly higher. The war has also triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with widespread starvation and displacement.
