  • The war in Sudan has had devastating consequences for the civilian population, with almost 10 million displaced and refugees.
  • The fall of dictator Omar al Bashir in 2019 led to illusions of democracy, but the military clung to power, destabilizing the democratic process.
  • The conflict has left the country's basic infrastructure destroyed, trapping the civilian population between violence and raiding.
  • Humanitarian organizations warn that half of the country's population is facing a shortage of water, food and medicines.
  • The necessary funding for humanitarian assistance to the displaced and refugees has had minimal coverage, exacerbating the crisis.

Conclusion: If the international community does not make an effort appropriate to the size of the crisis, indifference could result in a massive humanitarian tragedy. The Sudanese deserve the opportunity to have a future.
