The landslide also occurred in a region known for citrus production that remains largely inaccessible to international aid organizations due to ongoing civil war restrictions and fighting between opposing forces in Sudan.

This is one of the deadliest natural disasters in Sudan's recent history, occurring as the country faces seasonal flooding that kills hundreds annually and battles ongoing conflict and humanitarian challenges.

This tragedy underscores the urgent need for international aid. Poor infrastructure, environmental degradation and climate change exacerbate disaster risks in Sudan.

The landslide exposes systemic government neglect. Years of conflict, corruption, and underinvestment have left communities vulnerable. This disaster isn't just natural — it's political. Until the Sudanese leadership prioritizes civilian safety and sustainable development, such catastrophes will continue to claim lives that could have been saved.

It's an outrage that the West might be spurned to intervene in response to this disaster given that Sudan had already been facing facing famine, civil war and mass rape, yet humanitarian assistance from nations like the U.S. was cut. For the population of Sudan to be protected from further atrocities, richer nations cannot provide isolated support for this tragic incident, but must make plans for sustained efforts to address an ongoing genocide they have so far failed to notice.
