Commentary: Sudan falls apart while the world looks away

Headlines highlight the horrors of Gaza and Israel and the West’s debate over support for Ukraine, but another brutal war is raging far off the radar in Sudan.

It’s vulgar to compare the suffering. The unnecessary pain, trauma and loss in every conflict is tragic. These crises all call for action, but countries across the globe have mobilized to press for solutions for Ukraine and Gaza, while Sudan goes barely noticed. The scale and the nature of Sudan’s war demand more.

Sudan hosts the largest displaced population on have fled their homes since the war began in April. Three million are children. More than 1.5 million Sudanese have left the country, though, as they are surrounded by other unstable countries, they have nowhere safe to go.
