Context: history, generals and the RSF's role

The war in Sudan continues to rage. It’s a power struggle between the country’s military and the paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces or RSF. The U.S. has labelled it a genocide. The ICC is investigating reports of war crimes. It is widely considered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Humanitarian organizations are struggling to keep up and refugees feel forgotten.

Journalist and filmmaker Michelle Shephard recently returned from Chad, on the border with Sudan. This is her documentary, Surviving Sudan.
