Sudan's Thousand-Day War: Justice Buried in Battle

The war in Sudan is about to reach a grim milestone: 1,000 days of fighting. As the conflict nears this mark, violence is escalating and attacks on civilians are increasing. International and local observers say these attacks now include documented war crimes and crimes against humanity. The fighting is between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It began in April 2023. The continuous fighting has crippled the country's justice system. This makes holding anyone accountable for the crimes nearly impossible. With courts not functioning, there is no clear path to prosecute those responsible. The war has created one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. Millions of people have been forced from their homes and are facing extreme hunger.
