Over one million people have now fled the Sudanese war into neighbouring South Sudan, according to the United Nations, which said the figures illustrated the scale of the unfolding humanitarian crisis.

Sudan's army-aligned government has issued new banknotes in areas it controls, reportedly aimed at undermining its paramilitary rivals but causing long queues at banks, disrupting trade and entrenching division.

The war in Sudan erupted in April 2023, between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese army (SAF).

Areas impacted by the cuts are housing millions of internally displaced people, straining living space and infrastructure.

Sudan is in its second year of this most recent civil war. In reality, the country has known only 11 years of relative peace over the last 69 years. But there have been hopeful—though fleeting—moments in the country’s recent history.

JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan police said on Monday that 16 Sudanese nationals were killed in riots last week over the alleged killings of South Sudanese people in Sudan's El Gezira region.

Sudan's army chief has ordered an investigation into allegations that his troops carried out widespread atrocities after recapturing the capital of Gezira state from their paramilitary rivals. Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's move comes after widespread concern that civilians - including foreign nationals - were killed after the seizure of Wad Madani.

President Salva Kiir of South Sudan said what happened in Wad Madani was a heinous and "unacceptable" crime. He urged Sudan's government to protect South Sudanese citizens trapped there, and to investigate the killings with the help of international humanitarian organisations.

Today, Sudan is riven by conflict, with the RSF believed to be in control of much of the country’s western and central regions, including Darfur and parts of the capital Khartoum.

South Sudanese authorities have imposed a countrywide dusk-to-dawn curfew after a night of violence during which businesses run by Sudanese traders in the capital were looted. Police chief Gen. Abraham Manyuat said Friday that the curfew will commence from 6 p.
