Khartoum

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is embroiled in a devastating civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This conflict, ongoing since 2023, has resulted in widespread destruction, displacement, and a severe humanitarian crisis. Recent news highlights the intensification of fighting, particularly in regions like Kordofan, where drone strikes are causing significant civilian casualties. The RSF has been blamed for attacks on civilian infrastructure, including schools and healthcare centers, resulting in numerous deaths, including children. While the SAF has announced retaking some cities, the overall situation remains volatile. The conflict has also led to a decline in international support, leaving volunteers to fill the humanitarian void. The visit of RSF chief Mohamed Dagalo to Uganda has further strained relations and drawn condemnation from the Sudanese government, underscoring the complex political dimensions of the conflict. The resumption of limited commercial flights to Khartoum offers a glimmer of hope amidst the ongoing turmoil.
