Due to ongoing fighting in the country, Sudan is experiencing the world’s worst displacement crisis and record levels of hunger. The war has pushed the country to the brink of collapse, and there is no end in sight. Escalating tensions have forced millions of families to flee their homes and has killed thousands. Outbreaks of measles and cholera continue to devastate Sudan’s population, and humanitarian aid has been curtailed by fighting, leaving most in dyer need.

Nisrin Elamin joins host Esty Dinur to explain what lead to the ongoing war and what people are facing now. Elamin is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology, African Studies Program at University of Toronto. She offers analysis of the war and insight on how the Sudanese people are managing. 

Elamin’s recent work includes a piece in Hammer & Hope and a Sudan issue of MERIP. Other resources mentioned in today’s show include Sudan Tribune, Radio Dabanga, BS on Blast, Goodby Julia (2023), and River Spirit.
