The war broke out in Sudan last Ramadan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. So far, more than 8.5 million people have been displaced by the fighting, according to the United Nations.
About 18 million face worsening acute hunger. Reuters says that the war put the reputation of the Sudanese, known for their generosity and hospitality, to a test. The U.S. expressed its hope to resume peace talks after the month of Ramadan, although the previous rounds did not succeed in achieving a permanent ceasefire.
