About the Civil War in Sudan:
The civil war in Sudan started in 1958 between the Muslims and the Christians. The war has displaced more than 4 million people and has forced them to travel into another country. The war has left millions of kids without families. The people who left couldn't earn money to buy food and therefore malnutrition had become wide spread. Because of the war the south's economy crashed which caused all of these people to lose their homes and be kicked out of their country. Over 2 million people have been killed because of this war. This war has affected the lives of many people who live in Sudan and the countries around it. Approximately 600,000 people became refugees.
