Varför är inbördeskriget i Sudan så tyst?

Historical Context (Second Sudanese Civil War, 1983–2005)The northern Islamist government in Khartoum waged war against the mostly Christian/animist south and central regions (including Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile).
Estimated total deaths: ~2 million from war, famine, and disease. Many sources note that the majority were Christians and followers of traditional beliefs.

Tactics included aerial bombings, scorched-earth campaigns, massacres, slavery, forced conversions to Islam, and induced starvation. This has been described by groups like the USCIRF as involving genocidal practices against religious minorities.

Christians are disproportionately affected: churches bombed/destroyed (160+ reported), forced conversions, denial of aid, targeted attacks in places like Nuba Mountains, Khartoum, and Darfur. Both sides (SAF with Islamist ties and RSF) have perpetrated violence, creating a lawless environment.
