The war in Sudan
Cholera is spreading faster in war-torn Sudan
The infectious intestinal disease cholera is spreading at an increasingly rapid pace in Sudan, AP reports. In the last two months alone, 388 people have died and around 13,000 more have been infected.
The disease spreads mainly in areas of eastern Sudan that have recently been hit by heavy rains and floods. The situation is also worsened by the civil war that has raged in the country since April last year, and which has forced 13 million people to flee.
Cholera manifests itself as diarrhea, abdominal pain and severe violations, and without treatment can lead to dehydration and, in the worst case, death within a few hours or days, writes TT.

UN summit: What will happen to a country like Sudan?
What does the future look like for a country like Sudan, torn apart by civil war? That's the question UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi is asking before the UN's annual meeting in New York this week, writes AFP.
13 million people in the country have been forced to flee since the full-scale war between the military and the paramilitary RSF broke out in April 2023. Many people are now living as refugees in their own homeland, at the same time more and more have started to go to countries such as Uganda and Libya. That in itself is worrying given the networks of people smugglers that exist there, says Grandi.
- We know that many of them will try, or are already trying, to escape by boat to Italy and other European countries, he says, adding that humanitarian aid to Sudan is insufficient.

Political situation in Great Britain
Truss: Things would be better if I were still in charge
Britain has never tried "Truss-ism". The country's former prime minister Liz Truss herself draws that conclusion two years after she presented her so-called "mini-budget", writes Politico.
The budget proposal sparked chaos in the UK market and saw her ousted as prime minister after a historically short 49 days.
- If the economic establishment had not undermined the mini-budget, things would have been different now. The economy would grow, and people would be able to afford to pay their electricity bills, she says.
At the same time, she accuses the new Labor government of just putting forward more of the same old "failed policies".
