Tens of thousands have died in Sudan's war, and millions have been displaced. Why is the world's largest humanitarian crisis receiving so little attention?
War has raged in Sudan since April 2023, when the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces began fighting the Sudanese army. Civilians have paid the price for this power struggle. The situation in Darfur is particularly dire, where experts and the United Nations have long warned of signs of genocide.
Why is this war receiving so little international attention? What impact will cuts to international aid have on a country facing such an immense humanitarian crisis? And what role are outside powers such as the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Russia and the United States playing in the conflict? What interests drive these governments to support one side or the other with weapons and funding?
Accounts from those affected reveal the devastating impact of the war on the people of Sudan. A journalist from El Fasher, forced to flee the city, discovers videos of murdered family members and friends circulating on social media. A young doctor spent years performing surgery in trenches or amid bombardment. Experts had warned of a looming humanitarian catastrophe for years. Yet the crisis has continued to escalate. Meanwhile, young Sudanese people are fighting to draw the world's attention to what is happening in their country. This film traces the origins of the conflict, who is fueling it, and what responsibility Europe shares.
