Sudan Situation Update
Sudan's war has now passed 1,000 days. What began as a power struggle between two generals in Khartoum in April 2023 has metastasised into the world's worst humanitarian crisis — surpassing Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan on virtually every severity metric. An estimated 33.7 million people need humanitarian assistance. Famine has been confirmed in multiple locations. The health system has collapsed. And the international response is falling catastrophically short.
Syria Situation Update

The establishment of a Transitional Caretaker Administration in December 2024, followed by the appointment of Ahmed al-Sharaa as Interim President in January 2025, opened a window of cautious optimism — marked by a National Dialogue Conference, the lifting of EU and US sanctions, and the return of over one million refugees.
