The brutal civil war in Sudan between the country’s military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group has catalyzed one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises as millions contend with displacement and acute food insecurity. What’s happening in Sudan is widely considered to be a genocide, including by the United States, and it’s fueling regional instability.
To get a clearer picture of the scale of the dire humanitarian crisis, Foreign Policy spoke with Charlotte Slente, the secretary-general of the Danish Refugee Council, who recently traveled to eastern Chad and met with Sudanese refugees—including families who fled the city of El Fasher. The RSF has been accused of perpetrating a massacre in El Fasher, which it captured in October. The mass killings in the area were so extensive that what appeared to be piles of bodies and blood could reportedly be seen on satellite imagery.
