Sudan War: Three Years of Resilience
12 April, 2026
Khartoum (Sudanow) — In just three days, the war in Sudan will complete its third year since it erupted on April 15, 2023. The conflict pits the Sudanese Armed Forces, supported by allied forces, against the rebel militia and its backers at both regional and international levels.
Experts believe this war is no longer purely an internal affair; rather, it has evolved into a battleground where the interests of multiple powers intersect, each seeking—according to these assessments—to dominate Sudan’s resources and subdue its national will. The confrontation has moved beyond a clash between the army and the militia, taking on the character of a chaotic and brutal war, resembling an undeclared external aggression. This is underscored by the influx of mercenaries from neighboring countries and distant regions, mobilized to fight alongside the militia. Field reports indicate that the Sudanese Armed Forces have captured a number of these fighters in various locations, in addition to seizing documents and military equipment linked to them.
Within this context, the rebel militia and its mercenaries have committed unprecedented violations, including widespread looting, theft, and destruction targeting state institutions and civilian properties. Homes have been turned into military barracks and detention centers, where civilians have reportedly been held and subjected to torture under various pretexts. Between displacement and refuge, death and injury, captivity and disappearance, Sudanese civilians are enduring one of the harshest humanitarian crises in their history, amid extensive destruction of infrastructure and profound psychological and economic impacts.
To shed light on the scale of this systematic devastation, we present to our readers in this issue—and the next—a comprehensive dossier documenting the realities on the ground and examining the multifaceted consequences of the conflict.

Stories from the heart of the battlefield: Mothers of Disabling Children .. an Endless Suffering
Khartoum, (Sudanow) — Wide-eyed, she watched children racing across the schoolyard, their laughter ringing like birdsong in the vast expanse. The sounds blended in her mind, playground shouts, lessons recited, like a melody without end. Yet for Nidal, it was only a distant tune, one she could never join. She sat quietly in the courtyard, a small book in her hands whose letters she could not decipher, her heart carrying a s...
