The Washington Post published on 29 June 2025 an article titled "In Sudan, Where Children Clung to Life, Doctors Say USAID Cuts Have Been Fatal" by Katharine Houreld.
Following the dismantlement of USAID and cuts in support for community soup kitchens and the end of critical medical supplies in Sudan, more Sudanese are dying. The World Health Organization estimates that 5 million Sudanese may lose access to lifesaving health services as a result of the US cuts.
NPR posted on 26 April 2025 the text of a conversation titled "Sudan's Capital City Is Finally Repaired--But Shattered Beyond Recognition" between Scott Simon and Emmanuel Akinwotu, international correspondent for NPR.
After two years of fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the SAF has regained control of Khartoum. Emmanuel Akinwotu recently visited Khartoum and described the destruction and desperation in the capital city. The dismantlement of the US Agency for International Development is adding to the challenges of surviving in Khartoum.
