Sudan's Civil War Enters Second Year, Toll Exceeds 300 Civilians Killed

As Sudan marks two years of devastating civil war, a conference in London aims to address the humanitarian crisis affecting millions. The war, which erupted on April 15, 2023, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 14 million people, pushing parts of the country into famine. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized the urgent need for action to prevent the situation from worsening, highlighting the international community's ongoing indifference. Recent violence in Darfur has reportedly killed over 300 civilians, exacerbating the dire conditions faced by those displaced. Despite the Sudanese military's recent recapture of Khartoum, the Rapid Support Forces continue to control significant areas, further complicating the humanitarian response. Neither warring party was invited to the London conference, underscoring the challenges in finding a pathway to peace.
