The war in Sudan has continued since 2023

The armed conflict in Sudan has continued since April 2023. It began due to a struggle for power between the army loyal to the government and rebels from the Rapid Support Forces, RSF.

According to the UN, the fighting has forced around 14 million people to leave their homes and caused one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. The exact number of people killed in the conflict is unknown.
