Sudan's civil war, which began in April nearly three years ago, continues to devastate the country despite some signs of progress. A Sudan Airways flight recently landed in Khartoum, marking a rare commercial arrival since 2023 amidst ongoing conflict. The war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has left Khartoum in ruins, displaced 12 million people, and forced the government to relocate. The RSF's takeover of el-Fasher in Darfur led to reports of atrocities and international condemnation, but the fighting persists. Despite the immense suffering and calls for intervention, the conflict continues with no immediate end in sight.
