Sudan\u2019s civil war delivers catastrophic humanitarian breakdown: Journalist Saeed Abdalla urges global intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview<\/strong>
Saeed Abdalla, a Sudanese journalist currently based in Johannesburg, offers a haunting account of the devastation gripping his country. He underscores that civilians\u2014displaced, hungry, and injured\u2014are bearing the heaviest burden of a conflict marked by war crimes, famine, and unfolding natural tragedy.<\/p>\n

The UN\u2019s latest investigation condemns Sudan\u2019s war as \u201ca war of atrocities,\u201d accusing both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of orchestrating widespread attacks on civilians, hospitals, and essential infrastructure. The report urges prosecutions at the International Criminal Court, arms embargo enforcement, and increased global pressure<\/p>\n

Saeed Abdalla spoke to Radio Islam International during this week\u2019s Africa Report<\/a> and emphasised that civilians are \u201cpaying the highest price.\u201d<\/p>\n

This reflects reality: Sudan now hosts the world\u2019s largest internal displacement crisis, with more than 11 million people forced from their homes, many of them children. Overall, over 30 million people\u2014almost two thirds of the nation\u2014now require humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

Darfur\u2019s al-Fashr town, surviving a 500-day siege, is now trapped by shelling and a cholera outbreak, while children suffer from acute food shortages. Saeed describes \u201ccities under siege, homes and hospitals destroyed, famine conditions spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the war, a landslide in Tarsin village, Jebel Marra, reportedly killed over 1 000 people, leaving just one survivor. The UN offers a more conservative estimate but confirms the tragedy amid the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crisis. Rescue efforts remain stalled due to conflict and terrain.<\/p>\n

Saeed highlights that children are the silent casualties\u2014exposed to daily horrors of executions, rape, torture, and malnutrition. Currently, 50% of Sudan\u2019s population\u2014some 25 million people, nearly 14 million of them children\u2014are in urgent need. Many face severe acute malnutrition and disease outbreaks.<\/p>\n

Saeed relays the UN\u2019s urgent appeal: ending the war, opening humanitarian corridors, and funding relief. Reconstruction will take years, and recovery cannot wait. The world\u2019s attention must not shift away from Sudan.<\/p>\n
