Today marks the first anniversary of the start of Sudan's civil war - which has killed thousands and triggered the world's largest crisis of displaced people.

An international donors conference is being held in Paris, with the United Nations appealing for billions of euros in aid. The UN says some 18 million people - a third of Sudan's population - need food assistance for their survival.

French President Emmanuel Macron says more than two billion euros has been pledged - nearly half from EU nations. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says the war between rival factions is being 'waged on the Sudanese people.' Let's have a look how the conflict began.
