As the Civil War of Sudan enters its third year, the conflict between the Army and the Paramilitary Fast Support forces (RSF) has displaced approximately 13 million people, according to the United Nations.
“The conflict has caused the displacement of 13 million people, including 8.6 million in internally displaced people and 3.8 million refugees,” said Abdourahouf Gnon-Won-Werency agency in an interview with AFP.
Since the war broke out on April 15, 2023, he killed tens of thousands, pushed parts of Suran to the famine and fractured the country in territory controlled by rival factions.
The bets are particularly high in Darfur, where the RSF launched a new offensive last week to capture El-Fafasher, the last key city in the permanent western region that is still under the control of the army.
The assault begged Thursday and continued until Sunday morning, aiming at the El-Fasher and nearby fields, including Zamzam and Abou Shou, both affected by the famine.
The UN, citing “credible sources,” reported that more than 400 people have died to the bones in the last violence.
For Sunday, RSF forces claimed control over Zamzam. Since then, around 400,000 people have displaced the camp, according to the UN international organization for migration.
Doctors Without Borders, known for their French initials MSF, reported that approximately 10,000 people light up to Tawila, almost 70 km (40 miles) west or El-Fafasher, within 48 hours to escape the bombing.
The war has divided Sudan, with the army holding the north and the east, while the RSF controls much of Darfur and, with its allies, parts of the south.
The Foreign Minister of Germany, Annalena Baerbock, described the conflict as “the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our time”, highlighting generalized destruction, hunger and sexual violence.
“The entire regions have destroyed the bone, hundreds of thousands or families are spinning, millions of people are looking and women and children are being subjected to more horrible sexual violence,” he added.
Baerbock’s comments occurred before an international conference in London on Tuesday to discuss the devastating effect of war.
Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, declared that civilians in Sudan are “trapped in a relentless nightmare of death and destruction” after two years of war.
A UN research mission warned that “the darkest chapters of this conflict have not yet developed”, amid the growing ethnic violence and reprisals throughout the country.
“As Sudan enters his third year of conflict, we must reflect on the catastrophic situation in Sudan and honor the lives of all Sudanese who have legs or changed forever,” said Mohamed Charnde Othman, president of the mission.
