Sudan’s conflict leaves over 15M children out of school

More than 15 million children in Sudan are out of school due to the country’s ongoing conflict, the National Council for Child Welfare said.

“We have more than 15 million children out of school,” said Abdul Qadir Abdullah Abu, the council’s



secretary-general, at a press conference in Port Sudan, the capital of Red Sea State, Xinhua news agency reported.

Abu accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of systematic violations against children, alleging that the “militia” has kidnapped over 2,500 children.
