Agencies – Report<\/strong><\/div>\n
Sudan, torn apart by fighting, atrocities, and famine, has entered a dark and complicated tunnel, further complicated by the involvement of foreign countries in the Geneva negotiations. This deadlock, happening out of sight, has placed the country in a state of a “forgotten” conflict, according to the French newspaper La Croix.<\/div>\n
Executions and Explosions:<\/strong><\/div>\n
In a report by journalist Vanessa Dougnac, La Croix mentioned that looting, rape, executions, and explosions are escalating in this “dirty war,” with families displaced, hordes of children crying out of hunger, and the spread of cholera amid torrential rains. This is the reality of Sudan after 17 months of war, the report highlights.<\/div>\n
Famine and Displacement:<\/strong><\/div>\n
The French magazine added that the United States estimates that this conflict has claimed the lives of more than 150,000 civilians.<\/div>\n
According to the International Organization for Migration, 11 million people have been displaced within the country, and these movements are increasing due to floods and famine.<\/div>\n
Furthermore, around 25 million Sudanese, more than half of the population, are suffering from hunger, while humanitarian aid is being obstructed. For the United Nations, the Sudan war is “one of the worst humanitarian crises” of our time, as La Croix explains.<\/div>\n
A Return to the Right Path:<\/strong><\/div>\n
The newspaper notes that in the face of international indifference, humanitarian organizations are calling for assistance and action to “bring Sudan back on track.” This month, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) appealed to the international community for urgent action, stating that “there is no excuse.”<\/div>\n
Western Neglect:<\/strong><\/div>\n
La Croix pointed out that this issue is not widely discussed in France.<\/div>\n
It quoted Thierry Vircoulon, an associate researcher at the French Institute of International Relations, saying, “Sudan is not within our political geography and is covered more in Arab and Anglo-Saxon media. Humanitarian workers and journalists have limited access to the region, and Sudan is a vast country with fighting occurring on several fronts.”<\/div>\n
Not a Priority for the Americans<\/strong>:<\/div>\n
La Croix noted that during the initial clashes, major powers did not grasp the severity of the situation. It quoted Roland Marchal, a researcher at the International Research Center for Political Science, saying that no one imagined this war would persist. “For U.S. President Joe Biden, Africa was never a priority.”<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
