The World’s Forgotten Children: Why Sudan Deserves More Than Our Silence

Girl sitting outside UNHCR tent in refugee camp

She is seven years old. She does not remember what her home looked like before the drones came. She knows the sound they make — a hum in the sky that adults call death descending. She knows markets are not safe, that schools are not safe, that the road between her shelter and the water pump is not safe. She knows this because she has watched what happens when the hum stops. She is one of thousands of children in Sudan for whom the word "childhood" has become an abstraction — a concept that exists in textbooks and television screens, not in the bombed-out neighborhoods of Darfur or the besieged streets of el-Fasher. #Sudan, #SudanWar, #SudanCrisis, #StopTheWarInSudan, #SudanUprising, #IStandWithSudan;

Three Years, 14 Million Displaced — and You Barely Noticed

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
