Sudan's Silent Genocide: An Unfolding Humanitarian Disaster
Description
A panel of experts will unpack the worsening crisis in Sudan and how it evolved, where the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), is in dire conflict with the powerful paramilitary, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The UN recently reported ongoing cases of starvation, bombardment, the collapse of hospitals, and the systematic and deliberate use of rape as a weapon. Join us for this urgent discussion co-sponsored by the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights, and the Center for African Studies.
