Sudan has been making headlines due to the ongoing conflict between the government's armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in mass displacement, hunger, and reports of war crimes. The RSF, led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has been accused of ethnic killings and rapes, leading to a large-scale humanitarian crisis. The conflict has caused the displacement of up to 300,000 people from Wad Madani in Al-Jazirah state, exacerbating what the UN has termed the world's largest displacement crisis.
Sudan, officially the Republic of the Sudan, is a country in North-East Africa bordered by Egypt to the north, Libya to the northwest, Chad to the west, the Central African Republic to the southwest, South Sudan to the south, Ethiopia to the southeast, Eritrea to the east, and the Red Sea to the northeast. The nation has faced political instability and conflict for many years, including the Darfur conflict and the South Sudanese Civil War. Sudan has a diverse population, with a rich cultural heritage and a history that dates back to ancient civilizations. The country has struggled with economic challenges, including soaring prices and a humanitarian disaster exacerbated by the ongoing conflict.
