World is ignoring Sudan war

On my visit to Adré transit camp, I heard stories of profound loss and resilience – young children whose entire families had been killed in the most indescribable ways, mothers who had witnessed the murder of their husbands and sons, and women who had suffered sexual exploitation in exchange for food and water.

Their deeply personal and shocking accounts reflected the experiences of so many. Their eyes telling tales of horrors no one should ever see; bodies piled up like a wall, families drowned at gunpoint, children carved in two, women raped and beaten. Those who can escape, live in fear of being killed later.

As the world embarks on a new year, we are met with a stark and terrible milestone: 1,000 days of conflict in Sudan. During that time, it has become the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis. It is a moment that should make us stop and reflect, not only due to the scale of the suffering, but because this crisis has unfolded with so little global attention.
