Over 110 Armed Conflicts Worldwide: June 2025 Global Crisis

Global Conflicts Surge in June 2025: A Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds June 2025 has witnessed a dramatic increase in global armed conflicts, exceeding 110 according to the Rule of Law in Armed Conflict (RULAC) project. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is particularly hard-hit, with over 45 active conflicts. The ongoing war in Sudan, characterized by clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has caused widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale. "The conflict in Sudan has led to mass displacement and immense suffering," stated an unnamed aid worker in a recent interview. Other significant conflicts include the war in Ethiopia's Amhara region, the ongoing violence in eastern Congo fueled by the M23 movement, and the prolonged jihadist rebellion in the Sahel region. The Russo-Ukrainian war continues to cause immense human suffering and geopolitical instability, while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly in Gaza, triggers tragic humanitarian consequences and exacerbates international tensions. The sheer number of conflicts underscores a need for a comprehensive strategy that addresses the crisis on multiple fronts.
