When I sat down to write this piece, I wrestled with how to begin. Should I start with something clever? A historical parallel such as Darfur in the 2000s or Rwanda in 1994? In the end, there is no need for literary flair when the truth itself is haunting enough. While it has not captured the world’s attention like Gaza or Ukraine, Sudan is enduring the largest humanitarian crisis on earth, with over 25 million people needing urgent assistance and nearly nine million displaced as entire cities are reduced to rubble.
