Sudan's war threatens famine for 25 million as agriculture suffers from conflict and shortages.

The ongoing war in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has severely impacted agriculture, threatening famine for 25 million people. The conflict has led to cash shortages and labor scarcity, forcing farmers in Gedaref, a key corn-producing state, to sell assets and reduce cultivated land from 20 million to 9 million acres. The UN accuses both sides of using "starvation tactics," while European and North American nations call for urgent humanitarian aid access.
