The Other Catastrophe: Genocide and Famine in Sudan

Gilbert Achcar — 2025-04-25T07:03:36Z

Two years have passed since the war broke out in Sudan between the two sides of the military regime that the country inherited from the infamous Omar al-Bashir. While the situation in Sudan does not get even a tenth of the global media attention that the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza receives, the scale of the human catastrophe there is equally horrific. The death toll from the military-on-military war is estimated at more than 150,000, while the number of displaced people stands at approximately 13 million, and the number of those threatened with severe famine reaches 44 million—a record number that makes the war in Sudan the greatest humanitarian crisis in today's world.

The state of Africa in the new world order

Will Shoki — 2025-04-10T08:39:23Z

Africa today stands at a crossroads, caught between internal crises, shifting global power dynamics, and the slow unraveling of the post-liberation political order. Across the continent, ruling parties that once commanded legitimacy as national liberators are losing their grip; yet the opposition remains fragmented, offering little in the way of alternative governance.

Sudan : Towards partition

Paul Martial — 2025-03-22T08:10:48Z

Although with little media coverage, the war in Sudan remains the most costly conflict in the world from a humanitarian point of view: 11 million people have been displaced and half the population is in a situation of food insecurity. The creation of a parallel government has broken the unity of the Taqaddum coalition led by former minister Abdallah Hamdok from the transitional government which emerged from the Sudanese revolution.

Rafah and El Fasher: Genocidal War and Duty of Solidarity

Gilbert Achcar — 2024-05-18T18:59:39Z

“As we face the horror of the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza, which has caused after seven months and one week nearly 45,000 deaths (taking into account the unidentified bodies still under the rubble, numbering 10,000 by the lowest estimate), we are facing a war that is no less horrific in Darfur, if measured by the number of deaths that fell last autumn in the city of El Geneina alone in West Darfur, where a UN report estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 were killed at the hands of the Rapid Support Forces out of a total population of 150,000. ”
