The repercussions have reached alarming levels. The formal SAF-controlled government, itself displaced to Port Sudan on the Red Sea, has lost control of half the country.. The number of wounded has reached nearly 100,000. There are no available statistics on those who perished due to diseases like cholera. Furthermore, the already fragile health-care system has been further debilitated with over 70 per cent of hospitals and clinics across the country destroyed in the fighting.
On the other hand, the SAF gets support from Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Iran has been providing the SAF with drones, while Turkey has supplied tanks, artillery and helicopters. Islamist terrorists affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood also increasingly align themselves with the army. They too have been engaged in atrocities.Even the Russia-Ukraine war is being played out in Sudan.
More than 9.5 million people have been displaced, seeking refuge either in neighbouring countries, where the situation is far from ideal or safe, or elsewhere within Sudan’s frontiers.
