From 1989 to 2018, Sudan was ruled by radical Islamic dictator Omar al-Bashir, who sought to exterminate Christians and some ethnic African groups. Al-Bashir was removed from power in 2019 by a military council controlled by the country&rsquo;s Islamist establishment. Division among that group has led to the current fighting. Front-line workers report that some believers have been killed and some churches destroyed in the fighting. Local Christians feel that Christian facilities are being specifically targeted.
