According to the popular African proverb, “When the elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled,” the biggest loser in any war between prominent actors who possess weapons are the people who are put in harm’s way. This proverb applies perfectly to Sudan, as on April 15, 2023, the Sudanese crisis took a violent turn, with warring parties resorting to weapons to control the situation in the capital Khartoum. (Dr. Hamdi Abdelrahman, 2023).

With a population of over 48 million people, half of whom are under the age of 18, Sudan is at a critical juncture in its history. Millions of Sudanese children and youth had aspirations for a brighter future and the pursuit of sustainable development.
