The Guardian view on Sudan's third year of conflict: a war against civilians | Editorial
Briefly

Sudan marks the beginning of its third year of civil war, facing unprecedented humanitarian disaster amid violence against civilians and a power struggle between military leaders. The conflict, initiated by generals following the ousting of civilian rule, has culminated in widespread killings and a humanitarian crisis affecting millions. With the recapture of Khartoum by the army, the conflict has escalated, leading to increased tensions and further division within the country. Numerous external influences complicate the situation, exacerbating the suffering of the Sudanese populace, while reports indicate that war crimes and human rights violations persist unabated.
There's no impact. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan's army chief and de facto leader, and Mohamed Hamdan Hemedti Dagalo, head of RSF, have together ousted civilian leadership before turning on each other in April 2023. Their vicious battle has forced tens of millions to flee their homes.
The International Rescue Committee reports that 640,000 people face catastrophic hunger, marking the biggest humanitarian crisis ever recorded. Basic services and infrastructure have been destroyed.
