Sudan war leaves children mute as risk of new atrocities looms
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026

The war that erupted in Sudan in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed thousands of civilians and caused devastation, mass displacement and famine.The conflict is a major preoccupation of UN human rights chief Volker Türk, who is just back from visiting the country. There, he met victims of terrible sexual violence, including escapees from the besieged city of El Fasher. With more details about the situation in Sudan and voicing concerns that what happened in El Fasher risks being repeated in South Kordofan’s Kadugli and Dilling, the High Commissioner’s spokesperson, Ravina Shamdasani, joins UN News’s Daniel Johnson.
