Sudanese-Americans and local advocacy groups came together on June 28 at Marina Library to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

In today's newscast, local Sudanese residents gathered over the weekend to bring attention to the civil war in Sudan, which started in 2023. The United Nations has called it the worst humanitarian crisis in the world at this time.

Before joining KAZU, Ngozi covered health, business and economy stories for WYSO in southwest Ohio and The Ohio Newsroom. She’s also worked as a freelance reporter for Reveal, The New Humanitarian and other outlets.
