19 Creators to Follow to Know About What’s Happening in Sudan
The civil war in Sudan is now spanning over 275 days — and things are only getting worse despite the efforts of many Sudanese voices and content creators who have been bringing all the atrocities into the spotlight. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are advancing into eastern territories, further dividing the nation where the army controls the east, and the RSF dominates the west and Khartoum.
The inner conflict, which erupted on Apr. 15, 2023, has seen heightened violence, with both of the fighting factions — RSF and the Sudanese army — engaging in gunfights in Khartoum as well as other parts of the country. Despite cooperating with Djibouti and Kenya — alongside other East African nations — to facilitate direct talks between the warring parties, the scheduled meeting that was set for Dec. 28, 2023, was pushed back.
To understand the roots of the current situation and how things have taken a rather concerning turn, it is imperative — now more than ever — to get the right resources as you educate yourself on what has been happening all that time. That is precisely why we have compiled a list of 19 content creators and Sudanese voices that are bringing what is happening in Sudan to your screens.
