Why Sudan's horrifying civil war is being ignored
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Up to a million people have died in the last three years since a civil war broke out in Sudan.
It was triggered by a power struggle between the army and a paramilitary organisation known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Britain could have a key role in ending the war as its ally the UAE has been accused of backing the RSF.
Dominic Waghorn speaks to Sky's Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir, who has recently returned from Sudan where she visited El Obeid, a city where thousands of civilians have sought shelter. It is facing siege-like conditions, and she tells us about what life is like there and what hope people have that the war will end.
