UN Warns Sudan's War Threatens a Generation
The United Nations warned that Sudan’s civil war is threatening “an entire generation”, with more than eight million children pushed out of school and the great majority of educational facilities damaged or shut. The conflict between rival generals has created one of the world’s largest displacement crises. Aid agencies say the collapse of schooling risks scarring the country for decades.
Sudan’s war, largely overshadowed by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, has displaced millions, driven parts of the country into famine and shattered its institutions. With schools destroyed, occupied or turned into shelters, a generation of children is growing up without education, deepening the long-term damage. Humanitarian groups warn that funding is falling far short of the need. The crisis has drawn far less attention and money than its scale demands. Watch whether the warring generals return to talks or the collapse deepens.
