Sudan on verge of 'worst famine in the world' as civil war continues | BBC News

Aid agencies warn Sudan could soon experience the worst famine of anywhere in the world unless significant help arrives. The BBC saw the desperation of Sudanese people first-hand when visiting camps in Adré, on the country’s western border, and Port Sudan. Sudan's civil war began in April last year when the army (SAF) and the their former paramilitary allies, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), began a vicious struggle for power, in part over proposals to move towards civilian rule. The war, which shows no signs of ending, has claimed thousands of lives, displaced millions of people and plunged parts of the country into famine. #Sudan #BBCNews Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news
