Sudan’s humanitarian disaster and ‘the end of the liberal world order’

Sudan’s humanitarian disaster and ‘the end of the liberal world order’

The superlatives in Sudan remain bleak. The country is home to the world’s worst hunger crisis, a man-made calamity brought on by more than two years of disastrous civil war and state collapse that has led to more than 150,000 deaths. It is home to the world’s biggest displacement crisis, with more than 12 million people driven from their houses and neighborhoods. And it’s home to the world’s largest education crisis for children, with as many as 17 million children out of school. The U.N. projects that about 3.2 million children under 5 will suffer acute malnutrition in the next year.
