Great digest format for staying informed. The Sudan item is particularly brutal with 24.6 million in acute hunger while both sides weaponize starvation. What gets me is how thehumanitarian funding colapse happened right when it was needed most. I remember similar dynamics in Syria where sieges became the prefered tactic once conventional fronts stalled. The displaced population numbers alone suggest this will have regional spillover effects for years.
I am very glad you like the format - we try to pack plenty of content into a small package so you can stay informed. The situation in Sudan is almost beyond comprehension and your reference of "weaponizing starvation" is very apt. I think unfortunately that the West gets bored with these sorts of conflicts extremely rapidly; they are far away and there is little connection to the people involved. You are spot on when you say this is going to have ramifications for years.
