Nearly two years of war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have left large swathes of Sudan's capital unrecognizable. Once a bustling metropolis, Khartoum has seen well over 3.5 million of its people flee since the war began, according to the United Nations. (Ebrahim Hamid via GettyImages)

It’s been two years this month since fighting broke out between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces, leading to a devastating civil war that’s so far killed more than 150,000 people and displaced 13 million while causing the world’s worst famine in decades. The New York Times was the first Western outlet to report from the center of the Sudanese capital since the war erupted. We talk to chief Africa correspondent Declan Walsh about where the war stands and the humanitarian impact.
