What happened

Sudan’s Prime Minister: This is the path out of the horrors of war Kamil Idris outlines his government’s vision for ending the war, rebuilding the country and restoring civilian rule.

Why it matters

When I visited the United Nations Security Council last December to present the Hope Government’s vision for peace in Sudan, I looked at those corridors that I knew well from my many years of work at the United Nations.

Common ground

But my thoughts were elsewhere, back in my country, where my mind was filled with images of the ordinary people displaced by the Rapid Support Forces militia from their villages and farms, and of the fear spread among civilians in the cities when their money…

Claim 6: “Although the war in Sudan has now lasted more than 1,100 days”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The war in Sudan began on April 15, 2023. As of the latest evidence dates (up to 2026), the war has lasted approximately 3 years (roughly 1,000-1,100 days). However, the claim that it has lasted 'more than 1,100 days' is mathematically inconsistent with a start date of April 15, 2023, unless the current date is past August 2026, which the evidence does not support.
