The ongoing civil war in Sudan, involving the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has escalated into a dire humanitarian crisis, largely ignored by the international community.
The conflict, which began 17 months ago, has resulted in the death of at least 18,800 people, according to U.N. estimates, though the actual number is likely much higher due to underreporting. The war represents a continuation of violence in a country that has previously experienced international intervention attempts to halt genocide.
Despite the severe implications for human rights and regional stability, the situation in Sudan has failed to capture sustained global attention or action.

Why do you think some humanitarian crises, like Sudan's, struggle to gain international attention compared to others?

Some countries aren't as well known or as bad in crisis as others.

The World Is Ignoring the Catastrophe in Sudan
The bitter war launched 17 months ago between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—the Janjaweed rebranded—has, according to the U.N., killed 18,800 people. But that estimate is a vast undercount. No one knows the true number of dead.
