African Union must ensure Sudan civilians are protected
Sudanese women from community kitchens run by local volunteers serve meals to people affected by conflict and extreme hunger who are out of reach of international aid efforts, in Omdurman on July 27, 2024.
The war in Sudan presents the world – and Africa – with a test. This far, we have scored miserably. The international community has failed the people of Sudan. Collectively, we have chosen to systematically ignore and sacrifice Sudanese peoples suffering in preference of our own interests.
For 18 months, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have fought a pitiless conflict that has killed thousands, displaced millions, and triggered the world's largest hunger crisis.
