Has the U.S. Given Up on Sudan?

In recent days, the Rapid Support Forces, a powerful militia that is vying for control over the broken country, has used Chinese-made suicide drones to bomb Port Sudan, the main entry point for aid into the country. Estimates place the death toll of the war in Sudan at up to a hundred and fifty thousand, but that figure could be low, because resources to count the dead are scarce. In this week’s issue, I tell the story of Wanis and Intisar, two Nuba residents of a Khartoum suburb whose desperate attempts to flee their home and whose privations at the displacement camp illustrate the experiences of millions of Sudanese whose lives have been upended in the civil war.
