The UN has described the situation there as the world&#8217;s largest humanitarian crisis &#8211; with UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres saying the &quot;nightmare must end&quot;.  <\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the civil war and around 14 million have been displaced according to the UN, who also report widespread instances of sexual violence. <\/p>\n<p>There are now warnings that the use of drone warfare is on the rise, with both sides in the conflict reportedly being supplied by other countries. The UN&#8217;s humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher has said nearly 700 civilians have been killed by drone strikes in Sudan, since the start of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict began in April 2023 as a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group &#8211; who had fought on the same side of a 2021 coup to overthrow a joint military-civilian government. <\/p>\n<p>As international donors meet at a conference in Berlin, with the hopes of raising 1 billion dollars for Sudan, the BBC&#8217;s Africa correspondent Barbara Plett Usher tell us that world leaders don&#8217;t have the &quot;bandwidth&quot; to address this conflict. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
