As front-line gains remain limited, human displacement is soaring. Hundreds of thousands have fled battles across North, South, and West Kordofan, overwhelming towns and humanitarian responders.

As other world conflicts — and domestic politics in the United States and Europe — dominate the news, African wars get scant attention. The millions killed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, mass displacement in northern Mozambique, authoritarian regimes in the western Sahel region and Sudan — the world’s worst humanitarian disaster today- are missing from daily headlines. And the courageous local community work to mitigate the suffering get even less attention. Sudanese neighborhood groups, working under fire, and the diaspora groups supporting them, are examples of obscure but lifesaving work, central to future peacebuilding.
