Satellite imagery shows the extent of the damage to Sudan's agriculture and industrial sectors, revealing a devastating toll on the country's largest irrigated farming projects.

The Hope Government initiative for peace in Sudan was launched through a purely national effort in which roles were integrated, ideas exchanged, and previous initiatives built upon.

My day has become a series of attempts to overcome these small details, which have piled up to become a daily burden. When the electricity was stable, daily household chores were easier.

Framing the war as a conflict between two generals overlooks the reality that this is fundamentally a war on civilians, who are bearing the brunt of the violence.

At least six people have been rescued, while efforts are ongoing to locate about a dozen people still missing, officials say. At least 21 people have drowned, while others remain missing, after a passenger ferry sank on the Nile in northern Sudan's River Nile State, civil defence officials have said, in the war-ravaged nation.

As RSF fighters swarmed in, they opened fire on civilians scrambling over walls and hiding in trenches in a vain effort to escape, while mowing down others with vehicles, Ibrahim said. He said seeing so many killed felt like he was running towards his own death. It was a despicable feeling, he said. How can el-Fasher fall? Is it over? I saw people running in terror. It was like judgement day. Within hours, RSF fighters were storming homes, demanding phones at gunpoint and looting property.

Food aid to war-torn Sudan could run out within months unless hundreds of millions of additional dollars are pledged, the United Nations has warned. Marking more than 1,000 days of the country's civil war, the UN's World Food Programme on Thursday issued a plea for $700m to fund its work in Sudan. The money is needed to prevent what it says is already the world's worst hunger and displacement crisis from getting worse.

It's like a ghost town, said the UN humanitarian coordinator in Sudan, Denise Brown, in an interview with EL PAIS. We don't know for sure how many people were left behind at El Fasher. There are missing people. Where are they? They may be dead, they may be detained, they may be injured. Sooner or later, we will have to do a triangulation.

Senegal will look to take another step towards winning the Africa Cup of Nations for a second time with victory over Sudan in the last 16. The Lions of Teranga, who won the tournament for the first time in 2021, are among the favourites for the title. Senegal were eliminated in the last 16 in 2023, losing to Ivory Coast on penalties, but they will be expected to progress after easing through the group stage to earn a tie with a Sudan team that is seeking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2012.

When: January 3, 5pm/16:00 GMT Where: Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier Pre-tournament favourites Senegal open their AFCON round-of-16 campaign against Sudan, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition and appearing in the knockout stages for the first time in 14 years. Senegal finished top of Group D with seven points after two wins and a draw, edging the Democratic Republic of the Congo on goal difference.

Sudan must face 2022 champions Senegal in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations after losing 2-0 to Burkina Faso in their final group game, while Algeria beat Equatorial Guinea 3-1. Lassina Traore's early strike put Burkina Faso ahead at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on Wednesday, before Algozoli Nooh squandered the chance to equalise for Sudan when he put a penalty wide.
