Sudan Enters Fourth Year of War as UN Calls Crisis 'Abandoned'
Germany aims to secure more than $1 billion in pledges as donors seek to keep aid flowing and restart stalled peace efforts.
- On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Sudan entered its fourth year of war, described as an "abandoned crisis," with the fighting forcing 13 million people to flee their homes.
- The conflict erupted from a power struggle between Sudanese Armed Forces chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and Rapid Support Forces commander Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo following the 2019 ouster of dictator Omar al-Bashir.
- At least 59,000 people have been killed, while about 34 million people need assistance according to United Nations figures, underscoring the humanitarian scale of the conflict.
- Denise Brown, top United Nations official in Sudan, criticized the international community on Monday for failing to focus on ending the fighting, saying "Please don't call this the forgotten crisis. I'm referring to this as an abandoned crisis."
- The United States and regional powers, distracted by the Iran war, have failed to establish a ceasefire, while fuel prices in Sudan have increased by over 24% due to shipping disruptions.
