People in war-torn Sudan need more help

A 13 year old boy, twice abandoned because of the war, tells the 麻豆社's Lyse Doucet, "I want to be a state governor in Sudan, so I can rebuild the country".

The 麻豆社's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet has recently returned from Sudan. It's her second visit to the country since April 2023, when the war broke out between the government army and the paramilitary group, the RSF. Lyse says, the humanitarian sitaution in the country is far worse now than it's ever been. She met and spoke to people displaced by the conflict, including women and children and entreprenuers and bankers too.
