Sudan Conflict Fuels Human Smuggling

In this episode of Daily Dive, Adam and Amy unpack the complex dynamics of the ongoing Sudan conflict and its ripple effects across the region. They discuss the devastating impact of the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has displaced millions both within Sudan and into neighboring countries, creating one of the most severe refugee crises in recent history.

Examining the report’s insights, Adam and Amy delve into the reconfiguration of human smuggling routes and the humanitarian toll this has had, especially as Sudanese refugees increasingly rely on dangerous pathways into Egypt, Libya, and beyond in search of safety. They highlight the pressures faced by Sudan’s neighbors as they host growing refugee populations, as well as the surging numbers of Sudanese arrivals in Europe. With no end to the conflict in sight, this episode shines a light on the dire situation for displaced Sudanese people and the lasting consequences for the region.
