The discussion, hosted by Jim Falk, features Ambassador Mark Asquino, Ph.D., a veteran of 37 years in foreign service, and Julie Gregory, a research analyst with the Protecting Civilians and Human Security Program at the Stimson Center. They address the severe humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where over half of the 50 million population faces hunger, millions have been displaced, and sexual violence and child soldiers are widespread. Despite years of peacekeeping efforts, Sudan remains mired in conflict. The program explores why this crisis matters globally and whether the United States can contribute to building a path toward peace.
