• Sudan: From Genocide to Countless Acts of Solidarity - Documenting Three Years of War in Sudan

Contesto

Sudan marks a grim milestone this week: three years of a catastrophic civil war that has partitioned the nation between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), along with their complex web of armed allies. The conflict, which erupted in the capital Khartoum in April 2023, has since engulfed vast swathes of the country, from the western Darfur region to the agricultural heartland of Al Jazirah. With mediation efforts stalled and the specter of wider regional escalation looming, the world's worst displacement crisis continues to deepen, leaving millions in a desperate fight for survival. The human cost is almost incomprehensible. Over 14,000 people have been killed, though the true figure is believed to be far higher. More than 8.5 million people have been forced from their homes, creating the largest internal displacement crisis globally, with a further 2 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries. Civilian infrastructure has been systematically targeted; hospitals, schools, water treatment plants, and markets lie in ruins. A report from The New Humanitarian details a landscape where entire cities have been emptied, and where the lines of control are drawn not by borders on a map, but by the shifting frontlines of rival militias, creating a patchwork of fiefdoms. This fragmentation has effectively dissolved the Sudanese state. The SAF, loyal to the army chief and de facto head of state General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, controls much of the north and east, including the Red Sea port city of Port Sudan, which now functions as a makeshift administrative capital. The RSF, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, holds sway over most of the Darfur region, much of Khartoum, and key areas in Kordofan. This division is not clean, however. Both sides rely on a mosaic of ethnic militias, former rebel groups, and foreign-backed fighters, turning the conflict into a multi-layered war of attrition with civilians caught in the crossfire. In Darfur, the war has taken on a particularly horrific, ethnically-charged dimension, with widespread reports of massacres, sexual violence, and the burning of villages...
