About this episode

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on April 16, 2024. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

On April 15, 2023, fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and its paramilitary rival the Rapid Support Forces. The war has caused the largest displacement crisis in the world and a looming famine. We hear from previous guests to find out what life has been like, and what they still hold on to.
