Sudan's Crisis Deepens: Doctors Threatened, Displacement Rises, and Social Media Becomes a Lifeline.
Doctors in Sudan are being targeted with threats and smear campaigns for maintaining a neutral stance in the ongoing war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The Sudanese Doctor’s Union blames al-Bashir-era loyalists for being the primary inciters of violence against them. The strong influence of the National Congress Party (NCP) in the army poses the biggest threat to civil society. Experts have warned that there could be a wider crackdown against civil society as the war drags on.
