8. War in Sudan - An Invisible Genocide

Grab your coffee and join us for a journey into one of today’s deadliest - and least talked-about - conflicts. This episode takes us to Sudan, where power struggles between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have spiraled into mass displacement, ethnic killings, and unimaginable violence, especially against women and girls.We break down how a country with 20 coup attempts, decades of civil war, and a former president indicted for genocide ended up in its current nightmare, and why the world barely pays attention. Along the way, we unpack the basics of genocide, women's rights and international humanitarian law.At the centre of this episode is Samia, a mother of four whose story reflects the experience of millions of Sudanese civilians caught between armed groups who ignore every humanitarian rule on the books.What can the international community actually do? Why is humanitarian aid blocked? This episode tries to make sense of a crisis the world cannot afford to overlook - and of the women who continue to carry the heaviest burden.For any question or correction (because yes, we make mistakes), contact us at: [email protected].
