Sudan in Crisis: A Civil War, Humanitarian Emergency, and the Consequences for a Nation and Region
Description
Join us for a conversation on the ongoing humanitarian crisis taking place in Sudan, where a civil war has so far led to the displacement of over 8 million people, with half the population of Sudan living in hunger and reliant on food aid. In addition to highlighting the human consequences of the war, our panel of experts will discuss Saudi, Russian, and Emirati vested interests, and the potential to further destabilize an often-fraught region.
