About this episode
Sudan has suffered three domestic wars spanning well over 40 years of the country's 67 years of independence. 

Millions of people have been displaced and thousands killed.  

Now a joint investigation by Sky News, Lighthouse Reports, Washington Post and Le Monde has uncovered the gruesome details of a massacre which took place last year - one of the first episodes of ethnically motivated atrocities in this latest war.  

On the Sky News Daily Tom Cheshire talks to Africa Correspondent Yousra Elbagir and Klaas van Dijken, investigations director of Lighthouse about this report and why more needs to be done to help the Sudanese.
