Heure Actuelle à Rufā‘a, Soudan — CAT.

Since April 2023, there has been a civil war in Sudan between two factions of the country's military government. The conflict involves the internationally recognized government controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and consisting of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Republican Guard; and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by General Hemedti, who leads the broader Janjaweed coalition. Smaller armed groups have taken part. Fighting began on 15 April 2023 after a power struggle within the government that had taken power following the 2021 coup. As of 5 February 2025, the conflict has caused 12 million people to be forcibly displaced, 9 million internally, and 3.5 million have fled the country as refugees, making it one of the largest displacement crises in recent history.
