RMC Briefing: Sudan, the forgotten story
Episode 117
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
It's been three years since the outbreak of civil war in Sudan, and in the brutal conflict, the level of human suffering has reached “unimaginable levels”, according to aid agencies in the UK. They have grouped together to raise awareness of the issue and demand that urgent action is taken to address the humanitarian crisis, after millions of people have been displaced, essential services crippled, and communities once living side by side in peace facing hunger, fear and uncertainty. A petition with 40,000 signatures was handed into Number Ten Downing Street yesterday, demanding a government response and urging international action to address a conflict which is not often reported, and appears to be forgotten. Trevor Barnes hosted with guests including: Christian Aid CEO Patrick Watt Islamic Relief interim Director Zia Salik Tearfund’s South Sudan Country Director, Erickson Bisetsa Jon Williams, Executive Director of the Rory Peck Trust Journalists Mike Wooldridge & Paul Vallely Mervyn Fletcher, Former BBC News Editor and UNICEF Communications Chief Anneliese Dodds MP, Labour MP and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Sudan and South Sudan Bishop Zechariah Manyok Biar, Bishop of Wanglei Diocese in South Sudan Bishop Anthony Poggo, from South Sudan, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://x.com/RelMedCentre LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709
