The ongoing famine in Sudan\u2019s Zamzam camp near al Fasher in northern Darfur has reached extreme proportions and is likely to persist until October, according to the UN\u2019s hunger monitoring system.<\/p>\n

The camp, with a population of 500\u00a0000, is the last remaining resistance against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) across the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe RSF has besieged this area, and no aid has reached the camp for a long time,\u201d Sudanese journalist Saeed Abdullah said on Radio Islam\u2019s Africa Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sudanese people in North Darfur, particularly displaced refugees in the Zamzam camp, are experiencing the worst form of hunger, with 1 in 5 people or households severely lacking food and facing starvation, which is causing critical levels of acute malnutrition and death.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Sudanese have been forced to eat leaves and soil,\u201d Abdullah said.<\/p>\n

In the east part of Sudan, meanwhile, the head of the de facto Sudanese government Al-Burhan, survived a drone attack on a military base during an army graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n

The RSF has denied responsibility for the attack which killed 5 people and has blamed it on internal military disruptions.<\/p>\n

Peace talks between the RSF and Sudanese army are set to take place in Geneva, Switzerland under the auspices of the United States and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The negotiations, due to begin in 10 days\u2019 time, are seen as positive moves towards opening humanitarian corridors, reducing hostilities between warring parties, and long term political solutions for Sudan.<\/p>\n

The outcome remains to be seen. It is possible that Sudan, with rich mineral resources, will remain embroiled in turmoil, both from internal and external sources, as various factions vie for economic dominance and control over its wealth.<\/p>\n
