Day 2
Sudan
Civil war between two armies in the Sudan is causing continuous conflict in the country. The humanitarian crisis is so vast that many millions of people are internally displaced, and more than a million have fled the country, while many more are living in squalid camps. Children are the worst hit victims, and many have died with the outbreak of measles. Many Sudanese are suffering and living in abject poverty, not knowing how they will survive the day. Pray for those who have not had the opportunity to learn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. Pray for them to know of Him and invite Him into their lives (The Bible, Isaiah 40:28).

Sudan’s civil war triggers an ‘unimaginable’ humanitarian crisis
Sudan has moved to 10th position in the World Watch report 2023 by Open Doors for Christian persecution due to escalation in hostilities Chairman/ Presidential Standard of the Transitional Sovereignty Council of the Republic of Sudan- Incumbent Abdel Fattah al-Burhan since 25 October 2021. Prime Minister of the Republic of Sudan- Incumbent Osman Hussein (Acting) since 19 January 2022. Persecution of Christians remains incredibly high in Sudan and hasn’t changed much in the last year. Christians have been treated badly for their faith in Christ. They have endured hate speech and terrible abhorrence. As it was illegal for Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, many such people were forced into reconversion. In many areas, the Churches were vandalized and burned down. Although the majority are Muslim, there is a substantial Christian minority in Sudan. The new transition government is trying to gain recognition on the international stage and is working to provide protection for religious minorities. Many Sudanese Christians welcome the changes, while others say it’s too late. Still, others say the country has a long way to go to demonstrate acceptance of them and other religious minorities.
