Even before the conflict broke out, in Sudan of 46 million people, one of the world’s poorest and most politically unstable countries, there were 3.7 million internally displaced people due to past conflicts
The war for power between Sudan’s military and paramilitaries has displaced more than 1 million people inside the African country since April 15, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), part of the UN system, announced on Wednesday.
Another 319,000 people fled to other countries. Egypt, Sudan’s northern neighbor, has welcomed the most (over 132,000), in Chad, which neighbors the long-suffering Darfur, some 80,000 arrivals have been recorded, while in South Sudan 69,000 refugees are counted.
The simmering conflict between the head of the military regime, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the leader of the feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary, General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, erupted into armed conflict in mid-April.
The two generals had proceeded together in the 2021 coup, when they put an end to the brief parenthesis of the country’s transition to democracy. The reason for the conflict between them in the last period that led to the outbreak of the war was the terms of the integration of the DTY into the regular army.
Even before this conflict broke out, in Sudan of 46 million people, one of the world’s poorest and most politically unstable countries, there were 3.7 million internally displaced people due to past conflicts. The situation is rapidly deteriorating for civilians, with access to basic goods and services ranging from difficult to impossible in much of the country as hostilities continue despite the two sides agreeing in theory to cease fire and open humanitarian corridors.
