Sudan Has Reached 'Catastrophic Breaking Point': UN
NewsweekAUG 14 2024
War and ravaging floods have brought Sudan to a "catastrophic, cataclysmic breaking point," the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Monday.
Without an immediate and massive intervention in Sudan, the IOM warned, the world could witness tens of thousands of "preventable deaths" in the coming months.
The agency blamed famine at the Zamzam camp for displaced people in Darfur for worsening the world's largest displacement crisis in the war-hit nation.
The world can make a difference in Sudan by fulfilling pledges for humanitarian aid and pushing for a cease-fire with a renewed focus and coordination. The international community must amplify Sudanese voices and support their vision for a stable, civilian-led future.
The RSF has brutally carried out ethnic cleansing of non-Arab communities through summary executions and torture. It has looted homes, museums, and cultural sites, erasing Sudan's heritage and people's personal histories and obliterating any potential for a democratic, pluralistic Sudan.
