Tuesday marked two years since violent clashes broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, sparking a civil war that has led to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The conflict has killed around 150,000 people, displaced at least 12 million, and brought famine to Sudan. Yet even as aid organizations describe the crisis as one of “industrial proportions,” it has been largely overshadowed by other conflicts on the global stage.
As the so-called forgotten war enters its third year, with no clear end in sight, we wanted to feature reporting and essays from distinct voices—from a U.S. congressman to the director of a Sudanese think tank—to help you understand the regional and international dimensions of the conflict and the cracks that it has exposed in the global system.
