Sudan has been at war for most of its history since independence. The current war began in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and has caused one of the largest displacement crises in the world. Fighting spans Khartoum, Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, while neighbouring South Sudan remains unstable after its own civil war.
