What is the current situation in Sudan after three years of war?

Sudan’s civil war, now in its fourth year, has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis, displacing 14 million people and causing widespread hunger, abuse, and disease. The conflict began on April 15, 2023, amid a power struggle between Sudanese Armed Forces chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. Efforts for a ceasefire have failed, with over 40,000 fatalities reported and rampant human rights abuses, particularly against women and children. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 21 million people face acute food insecurity, with famine confirmed in some areas.
