About our Sudan news
Latest news on Sudan, covering the ongoing conflict, humanitarian crisis, Khartoum, Darfur, Kordofan, RSF, SAF, displacement, and famine.
Sudan faces one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises as a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (known as Hemedti), continues to devastate the nation. The conflict has displaced over 11 million people and pushed more than 21 million towards starvation.
The war erupted in April 2023 amid a power struggle over integrating the RSF into the national military following the 2021 coup. Fighting has intensified across Darfur, Kordofan, and Khartoum, with both sides accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The RSF has been implicated in atrocities that the United Nations described as potentially amounting to genocide, particularly targeting ethnic African communities in Darfur. While SAF recaptured Khartoum in early 2025, fierce battles continue in strategic towns like Dilling and el-Fasher, where famine conditions persist.
Beyond military confrontations, Sudan's humanitarian catastrophe affects millions of civilians trapped between violence, food blockades, and collapsing infrastructure. The United Nations confirmed famine in multiple locations, with malnutrition rates exceeding emergency thresholds. Displaced families flee to overcrowded camps with dwindling international support, while aid access remains severely restricted by both warring parties, leaving communities dependent on local volunteer networks for survival.
Sudan's current turmoil stems from decades of instability since independence in 1956. The country endured the 30-year authoritarian rule of Omar al-Bashir, who came to power in a 1989 coup and presided over the Darfur genocide and the secession of South Sudan in 2011. The 2019 popular uprising that toppled al-Bashir raised hopes for democratic transition, but the 2021 military coup and subsequent civil war shattered these aspirations, revealing the deep-rooted challenges of military dominance and fragmented power structures.
