DESCRIPTION:A CGHR Panel Discussion on Sudan's Tragedy: Popular Revolution
  to War\, Famine\, Genocide\n\nThis event examines Sudan’s descent into 
 a horrific war that is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The war ha
 s displaced over 11 million people\, involved the targeting of civilians\,
  including especially women\, and whole ethic groups in mass violence and 
 other gross human rights violations. Mass displacement and destruction of 
 livelihoods has precipitated a hunger crisis affecting more than 24 millio
 n people\, 630\,000 currently facing famine.\n\nHow\, after a momentous ci
 vilian uprising in 2018-19 that toppled the dictator Omer el-Bashir after 
 30 years of authoritarian rule\, did Sudan come to this? This panel seeks 
 to unravelling the causes and events that led to the current tragedy\, the
  current dynamics of the war and wider geopolitics\, and how Sudanese have
  nevertheless sought to forge solidarity and resistance amidst all this\, 
 to keep the revolutionary spirit alive.\n\nWe are very excited to be hosti
