Amidst deepening conflict and escalating humanitarian crisis, Sudan continues to grapple with the consequences of the RSF and SAF power struggle. One year on from the 2019 revolution’s fleeting promise, the crisis has led to widespread displacement and an acute humanitarian emergency. In our 8th edition, we outline the ongoing impacts and the struggle for aid and recognition in the shadow of global events. #Sudan #conflict #humanitariancrisis

As we reflect on the tragic anniversary of the conflict in Sudan, it is imperative that we do not allow the plight of its people to fade into the background amidst the numerous challenges facing our world today. With 9 million refugees and internally displaced individuals, and millions more on the brink of famine, Sudan's humanitarian crisis demands our urgent attention. While global focus understandably shifts to recent events in Ukraine and Gaza, we must not overlook Sudan's dire situation, which risks being relegated to the status of yet another distant conflict. The international community bears a collective responsibility to address the critical aid shortfall in Sudan, particularly in terms of food assistance. Those working tirelessly to bring an end to this conflict must redouble their efforts to achieve a lasting solution. The Canadian Centre for African Affairs and Policy Research echoes this urgency, calling for an immediate ceasefire to mitigate the escalating humanitarian catastrophe.

The EU must urgently ramp up its response in Sudan to prevent mass starvation and ensure aid can reach those who need it most. As IRC’s Sudan Country Director, Eatizaz Yousif, told Euronews last week: “Half of the population of Sudan is food insecure at IPC level, almost 750,000 are facing starvation or hunger, and massive displacement is really putting Sudan at the top of any humanitarian crisis… “We are asking the EU to put more diplomatic weight behind securing a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and strengthening their engagement with regional actors. Because at this time, political pressure is really needed.” Watch Eatizaz’s full interview with Stefan Grobe here: https://lnkd.in/efxPNUx3 And learn more in the IRC's Sudan Watchlist Crisis Alert here: https://lnkd.in/e3tnS3H8

Today marks one year since the beginning of the current conflict in Sudan, resulting in one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises: 9 million refugees and internally displaced people, millions at risk of acute food insecurity and famine – and tens of thousands of lives already lost. The world is facing many challenges, but we must ensure that the people of Sudan are not forgotten. Events in Ukraine and now Gaza have captured the attention of the world, while Sudan’s collapse has become just another far-away war. The international community must meet its responsibility to the men, women and children of Sudan and ensure that the critical aid shortfall, including in food aid, is urgently addressed. The friends of Sudan engaged in trying to bring this conflict to a close must redouble their efforts. The Mo Ibrahim Foundation is calling for an immediate ceasefire, in order to avoid the fragmentation of the country and the escalation of the humanitarian disaster, in parallel with the continued search for a political solution.
