Since April 2023, there has been a civil war in Sudan between two factions of the country’s military government. The conflict involves the internationally recognized government controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and the terrorist organisation Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who leads the broader Janjaweed coalition.
