The June 30 March of the Millions anniversary seems a distant memory as Sudan steps into the rainy season in earnest. The overarching themes of the period are the increased spread of diseases such as cholera, malaria, and dengue fever, regular reports of the brutal killing of civilians by warring parties, and flooding and natural disasters. Sudan hits the international stage due to a devastating landslide in Darfur.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the North Darfur capital, El Fasher, the warring parties continue to battle it out, causing widespread and horrific destruction. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carry out one of the deadliest massacres of the war yet in the Kordofan region, but begin to lose ground to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). Meanwhile, Sovereignty Council leader and SAF commander-in-chief Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan and RSF Commander Mohamed \u2018Hemedti\u2019 Dagalo play politics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst reports of heavy civilian casualties throughout the country, hunger and disease is rife. Critical funding shortages force drastic cuts to life-saving food assistance, whilst international leaders struggle to puzzle together a plan for peace, which is met with derision and dismay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts and academics call for a \u201chomegrown path to tolerance and transitional justice.\u201d Sudanese people lament the complex challenges that face a country, rich in resources but stripped of all abilities to make sustainable use of them, due to international, national, and regional plays for power, control, and wealth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The rainy season takes hold in <\/em>July<\/em><\/strong>, as concerns over flooding and heavy rainfall are raised through discussions about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Attention is pulled from the bloody reality of war towards the dam itself, climate change, and natural disasters. The risks associated with the rainy season, including the spread of waterborne diseases, compound the dire humanitarian situation. International efforts to create a peace plan begin in earnest, led by the US, as the International Criminal Court (ICC) publishes a damning report citing ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity. The RSF and SAF continue to battle over strategic ground and political prowess, leaving civilians in their wake at every turn.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia announces plans to inaugurate<\/a> the GERD in September, dismissing concerns raised by critics by extending an invitation to Sudan, Egypt, and all Nile Basin countries to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 6:<\/strong> The SAF claims to have regained strategic ground<\/a> in Kazgeil and El Rayash, located along the southern border of North Kordofan. Local authorities forcibly deport <\/a>1,200 displaced people from Ed Damer, River Nile state, amid security tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
