Sudan

Tuesday, April 15th marks two years since war broke out in Sudan. Today, 26 million people are at risk of starvation in what is described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, international aid cuts are strangling the locally led relief system the Sudanese rely on.

On the 15th of April, one year will have passed since full scale civil war broke out in Sudan. The situation is beyond dire, over 8 million people are displaced from their homes and the UN recently warned that the population is facing catastrophic hunger. The hope of a democratic Sudan now seems far away, and the country is a glaring example of how fragile democratic transitional periods can be after a peaceful people led revolution.
