Sudan’s RSF Declares Rival Government as Civil War Enters Third Year

HeadlineApr 17, 2025

In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group has declared the formation of a rival government as Sudan enters its third year of a devastating civil war that’s spawned the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. The conflict is showing no signs of ending, after high-level meetings in London collapsed this week, and the Sudanese army remains engaged in bloody battles with the RSF. At least 300 people were killed in displacement camps over the weekend in the war-ravaged western Darfur region. We’ll have more on Sudan later in the broadcast.
