Is there still war going on in Sudan?

Yes, there are still ongoing conflicts and violence in parts of Sudan. Although a comprehensive peace agreement was signed in 2005, ending the long-running civil war between the government and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), there have been subsequent conflicts in the Darfur region, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile.

The Darfur conflict, which began in 2003, involved clashes between the government, government-backed militias known as the Janjaweed, and rebel groups. Serious human rights abuses and war crimes have been documented in Darfur, including widespread attacks on civilians, rape, and destruction of villages. The conflict has displaced millions of people and created a humanitarian crisis.

In 2011, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan, but there have been ongoing disputes between the two countries, including conflicts along their shared border. Fighting has erupted intermittently in the Abyei region, which is claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan.

Sporadic clashes and violence have also continued in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan and the Blue Nile region, where rebels have been fighting against the Sudanese government.

Efforts have been made to address these conflicts through negotiations, peace agreements, and international mediation, but progress has been slow and fragile. The situation in Sudan remains complex, with challenges related to governance, human rights, and the search for lasting peace and stability.
