Summary
The ongoing conflict in Sudan between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries and the country's armed forces has reached a critical point, with the RSF declaring a rival government and the humanitarian crisis worsening, prompting international concern and aid efforts.
Key Points
- The RSF has declared a rival government, two years into a war that has become the world's largest humanitarian crisis, displacing 12 million people and claiming over 150,000 lives.
- The UK has announced a £120m aid package for Sudan, bringing the total UK aid to £233m, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy warning that the international community is not doing enough to address the crisis.
- Recent attacks by the RSF, including on the Zamzam refugee camp, have resulted in widespread violence, executions, and fires, with evidence of human rights abuses and a dire need for continued humanitarian assistance.
