UN: armed conflict in Sudan forced 7 million people to leave their homes

The ongoing armed conflict in Sudan forced 7 million people to leave their homes.

About this on the social network, X said the Supreme Commissioner of the UN for refugees Filippo Grandi.

“Seven million refugees and displaced persons. And the world remains indifferent,” he wrote.

The armed confrontation between the army of Sudan and the SBR began on April 15. The reason for the clashes was the issue of integration of the SBR into the structure of the army. The fighting that began in the capital soon covered other units of the country.

The Sudan government called on the international community to declare the SBR “terrorist grouping”.

The bloodshed does not stop contrary to agreements on the ceasefire and international pressure on the conflicting parties. In addition to the capital of the country, Khartum fights in nine provinces in the west and south-west of the country using heavy weapons.

According to the UN, 25 million Sudanists, about half of the population, need humanitarian assistance. As a result of the battles between the army and the SBR, more than 10 thousand civilians were killed, thousands were injured.

Attempts by the international community to achieve a ceasefire were unsuccessful due to mutual accusations and the inability of the parties to agree on the conditions made.

The last time the meeting of the parties to the conflict as part of the negotiations was held on November 7 in the city of Gidda in Saudi Arabia.

In negotiations under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, the USA and the intergovernmental body for the development of East Africa, the parties pledged to take steps to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and implement the measures of strengthening confidence.
