Sudan's history has been marked by internal conflict, outside interference, and political instability, leading to the current humanitarian crisis. The 1980s saw economic mismanagement under Gaafar Nimeiry, the Second Sudanese Civil War, and the rise of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) under Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. Nimeiry's economic policies led to famine, inflation, and resentment among southern Sudanese citizens. Sadiq al-Mahdi's rule in the late 1980s armed tribal groups, causing ethnic tensions and escalating bloodshed. The RSF has continued systematic violence, displacement, and ethnic cleansing in Darfur. Despite human rights violations, the international community has implicitly recognized the RSF, despite their breaches. The current humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by the prolonged occupation, resulting in starvation, infrastructure destruction, and uprooting millions.
