UN experts say serious human rights violations have been committed by both sides in the war.

Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

Fighting between the army and its rival, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, has killed thousands of people and forced millions from their homes across much of the country.

Reports of torture and rape have increased over the past 17 months, leaving many people feeling desperate and helpless.

The United Nations wants to deploy peacekeeping forces, but the government says they are not welcome.

The announcement comes after an investigation found both sides had committed abuses that could amount to war crimes.

Then who will hold the criminals accountable?

And what does this rejection of outside intervention mean for the people of Sudan?
