As Sudan's civil war enters its third year, the conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has resulted in the displacement of about 13 million people. The humanitarian crisis has left millions facing famine and violence, particularly in regions like Darfur. Recent offensives by RSF targeting el-Fasher have exacerbated conditions, with 400 deaths reported and further displacement of populations. Notable figures describe the situation as one of the greatest humanitarian catastrophes, reflecting on the widespread destruction and societal fractures brought about by the ongoing conflict.
"Since the war erupted on April 15, 2023, it has killed tens of thousands, pushed parts of Sudan into famine, and fractured the country into territories controlled by rival factions."
"The conflict has provoked the displacement of 13 million people, including 8.6 million internally displaced people and 3.8 million refugees, according to Abdourahouf Gnon-Konde of the UN Refugee Agency."
"The stakes are particularly high in Darfur, where the RSF launched a new offensive last week to capture el-Fasher, the last key city in the vast western region still under army control."
"Germany's foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, described the conflict as the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our time, highlighting the widespread destruction, starvation, and sexual violence."
