The West watches on as Sudan war causes untold misery and suffering. This is Why

The Sudan war was triggered by a power struggle between the army and a paramilitary organisation known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Britain could have a key role in ending the war as its ally the UAE has been accused of backing the RSF.

Sky’s Dominic Waghorn speaks to Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir, who has recently returned from Sudan where she visited El Obeid, a city where thousands of civilians have sought shelter. It is facing siege-like conditions, and she tells us about what life is like there and the hope people have that the war will end.
