Darfur

A brief two-hour journey was enough for the first outside witnesses to get a sense of a destroyed and practically deserted town with thousands of dead and displaced 

Since paramilitaries took over the city most civilians have been unable to flee, and the testimonies and evidence gathered suggest that killings, rapes, and looting are being perpetrated on a massive scale

Hundreds of thousands of victims, including both the dead and the wounded, along with extreme malnutrition and famine in certain regions, have left the country on the brink of catastrophe after more than a year and a half of war. In response, some organizations are working tirelessly to increase aid and address the growing crisis

Dozens of former soldiers, hired through private security companies, are fighting for the Rapid Support Forces against the regular army in one of the bloodiest current conflicts

Research estimates the conflict has claimed over 61,000 lives since April 2023, three times the UN figure. Chances of a ceasefire are increasingly slim

The war in the African country has acquired its own dimension in the western region, where local testimonies and experts warn that violence against the civilian population could constitute genocide

Around 25 million people, half the nation’s population, are suffering one of the world’s direst humanitarian crises

U.N. warns that Europe may have to deal with a rise in the numbers of Sudanese refugees if a cease-fire agreement isn’t signed soon between Sudan’s warring sides

The fighting that broke out in April, added to previous violence, especially in the Darfur region, has forced over seven million people to flee their homes

The conflict-plagued western region of Sudan is, once again, the scene of numerous atrocities. While fighting between the Army and paramilitary forces continues in the capital of Khartoum, violence is also spreading to other parts of the African country

Dozens of sexual assaults reported by various organizations are estimated to be only the tip of the iceberg, while attacks perpetrated by paramilitaries and criminal gangs go unpunished

NGOs have warned that medicines and blood are in short supply in hospitals, while experts fear an escalation in Darfur and the entry of more armed groups into the fighting
