With 6.5m displaced, the Western owned International Community does not care, the African Union Languishes in deep slumber

As the conflict in Sudan nears its one-year anniversary, the United Nations is ringing ever more strident alarms over an impending humanitarian catastrophe.

The world’s worst humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Sudan, where the civil war is approaching its one-year anniversary, while the world’s attention has been focused on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“A humanitarian travesty is playing out in Sudan under a veil of international inattention and inaction,” Edem Wosornu, the director of operations at the UN Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs, said on Wednesday.

Briefing the UN Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Sudan, Wosornu warned of the “harrowing levels of violence” that “have taken a horrendous toll on civilians.”

“By all measures — the sheer scale of humanitarian needs, the numbers of people displaced and facing hunger — Sudan is one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent memory,” Wosornu added.

The conflict in Sudan erupted in the capital Khartoum on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces vying for power after years of instability that followed the fall of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The fighting has since spread to other areas of the country.
