The wars the news shows less: Sudan and others, sentence 2

Sudan is one of these: since April 2023 its army and an armed group called the RSF have fought for power, and the UN reported that more than 12 million people were forced from their homes — imagine every person in a big city walking away at once.

Who acts: Sudan, army, UN, person · What happens: be, call, fight, report, force, imagine · To what, where: one, armed group, RSF, million people, homes, person · Speech: someone speaks here
