According to a report, an envoy from Sudan’s rapid defence forces attended talks in Togo, west Africa aimed at preventing Sudan from sliding deeper into war. Reportedly, Sudan has suffered from war for decades in regions like Darfur, Blue Nile, east Sudan and South Sudan which seperated from Sudan in 2011. According to the report, Darfur in west Sudan saw some of the worst violence, the region saw a bloody battle in the early 2000s from which it hasn’t recovered.
Reportedly, oil is the main cause of war in Sudan, now in its 20th year. According to the report, expansion of oil development has continued to be accompanied by the violent displacement of people who live on top of oil rich areas. Reportedly, they have been killed, maimed, their homes and crops burned and their grain and live stock looted.
