Explainer: Why is Sudan at war, and what is the impact? - Reuters

Sudan is currently experiencing a devastating war, primarily between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict, which began in April 2023, stems from a power struggle between military leaders General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, following a 2021 coup and disputes over integrating their forces. This internal struggle has led to widespread violence, displacement, and a severe humanitarian crisis across the country. The ongoing hostilities have caused immense suffering for the Sudanese population, with millions displaced and facing critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The international community continues to seek a resolution to the conflict and provide humanitarian aid.
