From the transcript
For a brief moment, it was all the world could talk about. On April 15th, 2023 clashes erupted between Sudan's army and the paramilitary rapid sport forces in the capital of Khartou.
As the fighting spread, the death toll mounted, countries raced to evacuate their citizens, embassies were shuttered, escapes, facilitated, all broadcast in round-the-clock coverage.
But then, a funny thing happened. With evacuations over, the story faded, dropping off the headlines as quickly as it had blown up in the first place. Today, encountering coverage of Sudan's conflict in the regular media is a rare event.
