Over the past 14 months, all sense of normalcy, peace and stability has been under a brutal siege in Sudan. To the world’s dismay, including Sudanese people living within and outside of the country, the current war in Sudan was launched on April 15, 2023, when seriously rising tensions erupted in the streets of Khartoum between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Services (RSF).
Since then, the latest data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says that nearly 10 million people have been displaced, and the World Food Program reports that around 26 million are now acutely food insecure. The death toll is staggering in both what we can confirm and what is yet to be known due to varying reports coming out of the country. As late as June 18 of this year, the reported number of people killed is well over 15,000.
