Large refugee camp with UN aid trucks

Do you remember the last time Sudan made your front page? Thought not. On April 15, 2023, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — two military machines that once shared the same barracks and the same sponsors — turned their guns on each other [1]. Three years later, 34 million people, 65 percent of Sudan's entire population, need humanitarian support. Fourteen million are displaced. Famine has been confirmed in Darfur and the Kordofans [2]. And yet, if you scan the headlines today, you will find more ink devoted to a celebrity divorce than to the largest displacement crisis on Earth. We have become experts at looking away. #SudanCrisis, #SaveSudan, #KeepEyesOnSudan, #SudanWar, #HumanitarianCrisis, #Darfur
