The world’s worst internal displacement crisis, with at least 14 million people uprooted from their homes, is in Sudan.
The war in Sudan is nearing the two-year mark and the enormous suffering of its people continues.
As two powerful armed rivals tear the country apart in what has been termed an “existential battle”, millions have had to flee their homes, hundreds of thousands have been killed, and countless others are going hungry or being abused.
On April 15, 2023, Sudan was plunged into conflict as longstanding tensions between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leader Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo erupted into war.
