Tensions in Sudan are threatening to impact other surrounding nations, and neighbouring South Sudan is reportedly on the brink of its own civil war - potentially leaving Christians facing further persecution.

Following the Sudan Armed Forces’ (SAF) recapture of the nation’s presidential palace in Khartoum, after two years under Rapid Support Forces (RSF) control, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) partners revealed to en that Christians could face further strain should civil war break out in South Sudan.

The SAF has taken control of Gezira State and most of the Sudan’s capital, where recent images show that buildings including universities and places of worship, including churches, are significantly damaged, but still standing. The RSF are focusing their efforts on the Darfur region, with SAF airstrikes and RSF summary executions recently reported.
