A FRANCE 24 team reporting from Sudan in February met with civilians who have lived through two years of a civil war that has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced more than 12 million and sparked a humanitarian crisis.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo launched attacks on government sites across Sudan in April 2023, igniting a conflict with the Sudanese army under the command of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
The war-torn country has since been engulfed in yet another civil war.
The fighting has sparked a major humanitarian crisis, displacing 12 million people and killing tens of thousands.
From Port Sudan on the northeast coast to the capital Khartoum, FRANCE 24’s Bastien Renouil and Mohamed Farhat met civilians who have been living through the conflict.
