Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters
News:Politics
On the one year anniversary of the outbreak of civil war, Sudan is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world today. On April 15, 2023, fighting spread from Khartoum to other parts of the country, including Darfur, where the conflict took on ugly ethnic dimensions, potentially leading to genocide. Over 8 million people have been displaced, and the UN is warning of famine in parts of the country.
My interview guest today, Kholood Khair, is the founder and director of Confluency Advisory, a think-and-do tank formerly based in Khartoum. She explains how the conflict has evolved over the last year and why the humanitarian crisis is as dire as ever. In our conversation, we spend a lot of time discussing potential ways out of this crisis, which thus far have been elusive.
Kholood Khair explains:
How the conflict in Sudan began.
How the conflict has changed over the last year.
Why the conflict is becoming more complex and harder to solve the longer it lasts
What the international community, including the United States, can do to better support a peace process.
