The civil war in Sudan has taken more than 150,000 lives. It has displaced at least 13 million people. The UN has confirmed famine in parts of the country. There is widespread malnutrition, especially among children. And peace is nowhere in sight. The two warring sides -- the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group under General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, have been fighting since April 2023. Last month, the RSF captured El Fasher city in Darfur, which used to be a SAF stronghold. It sparked a fresh wave of atrocities, deaths, rapes and displacement. A US-backed ceasefire proposal on the table, but Sudan remains a humanitarian black hole for now. What is behind this endless violence? Does the ceasefire proposal hold promise? What can be done to mitigate the humanitarian tragedy?
