Since conflict erupted in Sudan on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese Armed
Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, Sudan has become the site of the world's
worst humanitarian crisis.  Over 10 million people have been displaced, over
half of the population needs humanitarian assistance, and over 750,000 people
are facing a catastrophic level of hunger.   Panelists discuss ongoing
humanitarian efforts, the challenges faced by aid workers, and potential
solutions to mitigate the worsening crisis in Sudan.

CFR-Brookings Institution Election 2024 Virtual Public Event: Technology and
Electoral Dynamics

Play


The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Brookings Institution Foreign
Policy Program collaborated to convene an expert discussion that examined the
role of technology and electoral dynamics in the 2024 election. As part of a
series of virtual events convened by CFR and Brookings in the lead-up to
Election Day, the conversation examined how the perception of technology is
influencing electoral credibility; cybersecurity and election integrity; and
what is at stake for safeguarding our democratic processes in an era of
disinformation. The series is a part of Election 2024, a CFR initiative focused
on exploring the United States’ role in the world, how international affairs
issues affect voters, and the foreign policy issues at stake in November,
and Election ’24: Issues at Stake, a Brookings initiative aimed to bring public
attention to consequential policy issues confronting voters and policymakers in
the run up to the 2024 election. Both projects are made possible in part by
grants from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
