In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group has announced plans to form a breakaway government, 22 months after it launched a civil war against Sudan’s military rulers. The conflict has sparked the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and over 12 million people uprooted from their homes. This week, the United Nations launched an appeal for $6 billion in aid to Sudan, where humanitarian groups say more than half of people have too little to eat and famine “is taking hold.”
