Thousands flee as violence escalates in West Darfur province

The crisis in Sudan’s West Darfur province has reached a new level as thousands of people are fleeing following the capture of the provincial capital Singa by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The escalating violence has led to concerns from human rights groups about a worsening humanitarian crisis, with mass displacements causing as many as 6.5 million Sudanese children to be forced out of school.

Sudan has been in chaos since April 2023, with former allies the army and RSF now fighting each other for control of the country. The situation in West Darfur is just one example of the widespread violence and instability plaguing the nation.

This video from BBC News sheds light on the crisis in Sudan, highlighting the urgent need for attention and support from the international community. As the situation continues to deteriorate, it is crucial for the world to come together in solidarity with the people of Sudan and work towards finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
