Sudan’s conflict is having major impacts on its fragile economy. We need accurate measures of these impacts to support conflict resolution and international aid efforts.

The past two years (2022–2023) have sadly witnessed a remarkable return of large-scale armed conflicts around the world. Armed conflicts — regardless of their scale — entail devastation. However, it is typically true that the bigger and more intense the conflict, the higher the casualties, greater the displacement of people, and the more adverse the economic consequences. However, the focus internationally on armed conflicts in terms of coverage, intervention and aid tends to be influenced by geopolitical factors, and some conflicts risk being overlooked. Sudan’s ongoing armed conflict is a prime example of this: it exacts substantial humanitarian and economic tolls, yet other major conflicts have garnered greater international attention.

苏丹的冲突对其脆弱的经济产生了重大影响。我们需要准确衡量这些影响，以支持冲突解决和国际援助努力。

过去两年（2022年至2023年）令人遗憾地见证了世界各地大规模武装冲突的显着卷土重来。武装冲突——无论其规模如何——都会造成破坏。然而，通常情况下，冲突规模越大、越激烈，伤亡就越大，人们流离失所的程度就越高，经济后果也就越不利。然而，国际上对武装冲突的报道、干预和援助的关注往往受到地缘政治因素的影响，一些冲突存在被忽视的风险。苏丹持续不断的武装冲突就是一个典型的例子：它造成了大量的人道主义和经济损失，但其他重大冲突却引起了国际社会的更多关注。
