Mohamed Abdel Latif, Director of ‘Save the Children’ in [region], said: “In times of crisis, education may be neglected as a priority, but ongoing conflict deprives children of crucial school years that cannot be replaced. This means some may never learn to read and write.” The organization’s report highlighted that around 4 million children have recently returned to education. However, the vast majority remain deprived due to displacement, a shortage of teachers, limited educational resources, and movement restrictions resulting from violence.

In April 2023, intense and widespread clashes erupted between Sudanese army forces in various regions of Sudan, with each side attempting to control vital locations. Arab, African, and international parties mediated to establish a ceasefire, but these efforts have not succeeded in reaching a permanent ceasefire.
