The world's forgotten war: Sudan | Battle Lines Podcast

Sudan has suffered a brutal conflict that has killed nearly 20,000 people, displaced over 10 million, and left around 25 million facing acute hunger. Sudan's cities have been turned into battlefields. Fighting has been marked by mass rape and murder, hospitals have been attacked, one in five people have now fled their homes, and cholera is on the rise.The scale of the humanitarian crisis in Sudan far outstrips Gaza and Ukraine, yet it receives almost no attention. So how did things get so bad? Why isn't it being covered more? And is there any prospect of peace?

Why don't people care?
1. The victims and perpetrators are black.
2. There is no other narratives piggybacking the issue.
3. Inherent bias doesn't condemn either side, but would condemn any outside intervention.
