Sudan Is Being Ravaged by a Civil War the World Has Overlooked

A long-simmering dispute between Sudan’s army and a paramilitary group exploded into a full-blown civil war in April 2023. The following year, the US estimated that at least 150,000 people may have been killed. The toll has risen markedly since then, and there’s no sign of a lull in the fighting.

Millions have fled their homes, leading to what the United Nations has described as the world’s biggest displacement crisis. Eclipsed by wars in Ukraine and Gaza, this is a humanitarian disaster that rarely makes headlines.
