Global attention is selective in its view of conflicts. The unending war in Ukraine holds attention due to the involvement of Russia. Over the last two years, the crisis in Gaza has been in the focus of the world due to initial Hamas thrusts into Israel and the subsequent near annihilation of the population of Gaza by Israel.
In this crisis, about 70,000 people have died on both sides, and about 2 million are displaced internally. Yet the world’s attention barely goes to the civil war in Sudan, which is now in its third year. In this war, over 150,000 people are reportedly dead. Five hundred twenty-two thousand children have reportedly perished due to malnutrition. 8.8 million people are internally displaced, and 3.5 million Sudanese have fled the country as refugees. Sudan today is widely regarded as one of the globe’s worst humanitarian catastrophes, with nearly 25 million people suffering extreme hunger.
