What’s Happening In Sudan?

There has been a long history of conflict between two groups, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Most recently, clashes (fighting) broke out in the capital city, Khartoum, on April 15 and then spread to other parts of Sudan.

These two groups have always had some disagreements. The RSF used to help the government, but over time, they became more powerful and wanted more control. This has led to more arguments and fights between the SAF and the RSF.

Because of the fighting, many people have been hurt, and over 75,000 people have had to leave their homes. It has become very hard for organizations to bring food, water, and medicine to the people who need it. The situation is getting worse, and hospitals are now being targeted in the attacks. There are currently only 2 hospitals responsible providing care for 3-4 million people in Omdurman-Khartoum.

We need to find ways to help those who are suffering in Sudan immediately and work towards building long-term solutions.
