Episode Notes:

Sudan’s de facto wartime capital of Port Sudan was hit by drone strikes this week, marking the first time the city has been targeted since the country's civil war began in April 2023. The Sudanese Armed Forces have blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for the attacks. Michelle Gavin joins the WarCast to unpack the developments and what it means as the conflict extends into its third year.
