The fighting between Sudan's Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary militia broke out last April following tensions over integrating the two forces.

Now, the country is experiencing one of the worst humanitarian emergencies in the world. The fighting has led more than 7 million people to flee their homes.
