S03E19: Sudan's Invisible War

Fractured

Where in the world at this moment is the largest displacement taking place? Would you guess that it’s Sudan? Probably not as the media reports very little, if any, about the conflict that forced millions of people to leave their homes. As the civil war in Sudan enters its second year, the two warring factions, SAF and RSF, remain locked in a deadly power struggle, with the civilians bearing the consequences. Since the conflict began on April 15, 2023, around 15,000 people have been killed, and more than 8.2 million have been displaced. Nearly 2 million displaced Sudanese have fled to unstable areas in Chad, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, overrunning refugee camps. Most however have been internally displaced in Sudan. All of them are in need of humanitarian aid, which is extremely scarce.

In today's episode, Jordan Siegel, who was one of very few journalists who managed to enter Sudan and work independently, brings us closer to the situation on the ground.
