Amid growing warnings that Sudan could record the largest hunger crisis in the world, the country's two warring parties traded accusations over the responsibility for a famine recently confirmed in one of the largest camps for the displaced in Sudan's Darfur.
In a statement late Friday, the Sudanese foreign ministry, controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of causing the famine that struck the Zamzam camp near El Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur State.
