Claim 1: “Three years into the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence. Wikipedia and one web search result state the fighting began on April 15, 2023 (which would make it roughly 1-2 years depending on the current date), while two other web search results explicitly claim the war began 'three years ago'.
