Sudan Civil War

Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) convened the House Foreign Affairs Africa Subcommittee on Dec. 11 to spotlight crimes against humanity in Sudan and urge an immediate ceasefire, as WHO reported Dec. 4 drone strikes in South Kordofan hit a kindergarten and a nearby hospital, killing 114 people, including 63 children. Sudan Doctors Network blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the attacks, and the conflict has forcibly displaced roughly 12 million people amid renewed U.S. attention after President Trump vowed to pursue a Sudan peace deal following a November meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
