With the recent determination of genocide in Sudan by the U.S. government, it is more important than ever to chart a path forward for the new administration and Congress. Since the outbreak of war in Khartoum on April 15, 2023, the conflict has quickly spread across the country, reignited ethnic bloodshed in Darfur and elsewhere, killed more than 150,000 people, forcibly displaced over 11 million people, and left more than 600,000 people experiencing the worst famine in Sudan’s recent history.

Building on its past event, “Sudan at a Crossroads: Addressing the Largest Internal Displacement Crisis in the World”, the Refugee and Forced Displacement Initiative (RAFDI) of the Wilson Center, in partnership with the American Friends of the Episcopal Church of the Sudans (AFRECS), will convene a hybrid event on January 30, 2025 to examine the dynamics of Sudan war and its interrelated consequences—human displacement, hunger, and famine—with the goal of charting a path forward for the new U.S. administration and Congress. Speakers will discuss the urgency of the situation, the inadequacy of current global response, and actionable recommendations on a path forward to find lasting solutions.
