April 19, 2023

The Vatican newspaper devoted the most prominent front-page coverage in its April 18 edition to the clashes in Sudan between factions of the military regime.

“It is not only a political crisis,” the unsigned article emphasized. “It is also and above all a humanitarian crisis that Sudan has been living for three days.”

Citing a report from Save the Children and a statement from a United Nations official, L’Osservatore Romano reported that nearly 16 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
