Title: The Tragic Landslide in Sudan: A Humanitarian Crisis Amidst Civil War The recent landslide that destroyed Tarseen village in Darfur, western Sudan, has left an estimated 1,000 people dead and many more displaced. This tragic event occurred amidst the ongoing civil war in Sudan, which has been raging for over two years now. The victims of this disaster were primarily those who had already fled intense fighting in their homeland, seeking refuge in Tarseen village only to be met with yet another catastrophe. The Jebel Marra region, where the landslide occurred, is controlled by the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army (SLM-A), which has remained neutral during the conflict and offered a safe haven for refugees. However, this area has seen an influx of displaced people in recent months due to prolonged sieges on Darfur’s historic capital, El Fasher, by paramilitary forces at war with Sudan’s army. Many also came from Zamzam refugee camp where famine was declared last year. The SLM-A has been accused of committing genocide against African ethnic groups alongside the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied Arab militias, who control most of Darfur region. In April, Zamzam refugee camp faced an overrun by RSF forces, leaving hundreds dead including aid workers from Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) and Relief International. Aid delivery in the Jebel Marra area is extremely difficult during the rainy season due to limited access for NGOs. Aid workers have warned that children are dying daily from hunger in this region, with both Sudan’s army and RSF forces contributing to the crisis. The tragic landslide serves as a stark reminder of the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding amidst the civil war in Sudan. As we continue to witness these devastating events unfold, it is crucial that international attention remains focused on providing aid and support to those affected by this ongoing conflict. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that innocent lives are not lost due to lack of resources or access to basic necessities such as food and shelter.
