The Spin

This tragedy exposes how Sudan's civil war has made natural disaster response nearly impossible. The ongoing conflict between military forces has rendered entire regions inaccessible to international aid, leaving vulnerable populations without proper infrastructure or emergency services when disasters strike.

The landslide underscores the urgent need for immediate international humanitarian intervention, regardless of political complexities. Thousands of displaced civilians seeking refuge in remote areas deserve emergency assistance and body recovery efforts that transcend current territorial control disputes.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 16% chance that SAF and RSF delegations will both physically attend the same peace negotiation venue before Dec. 31, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
