Key Points:
- Sudan's civil war, ongoing for three years since April 15, 2023, has resulted in an estimated 400,000 deaths and massive displacement of over 12 million people internally.
- An additional 4 million Sudanese have fled to neighboring countries including Egypt, Chad, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, while more than 30 million require humanitarian aid amid the world's largest hunger crisis.
- Despite the scale of violence, confirmed genocide, and widespread famine, Sudan's conflict has received relatively little sustained international attention compared to other global crises like those in Xinjiang or Gaza.
- The lack of global focus persists despite the conflict's devastating human toll and the urgent need for intervention and support from world capitals.
