The Sudanese Civil War, Three Years On

Encompassing armed conflict, identity-fuelled atrocities and man-made famine, the struggle between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces – or RSF – has evolved into the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. An estimated 33 million people require urgent assistance, 14 million have been displaced and over 60% of the population faces acute food insecurity. Starvation and rape are widely weaponised while much of the country’s infrastructure lies in ruins.

In this video commentary, Michael Jones, Senior Research Fellow, Terrorism and Conflict, delves into the complexities of the conflict and what national and international measures will need to be taken to resolve what has been a horrifying ordeal for the Sudanese people.
