Sudan is entering a fourth year of war marked by famine and massacres in what the United Nations calls an "abandoned crisis." The conflict between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has displaced 13 million people. At least 59,000 people have died. Regional powers like the United Arab Emirates are reportedly backing combatants while global attention has shifted to the Middle East. Fuel prices have surged and food costs as well. The war is rooted in a power struggle after Sudan's transition to democracy and could spill over borders. The International Criminal Court is investigating potential war crimes.

A California woman says she was raped by Rep. Eric Swalwell in 2018 and now plans to make a report to law enforcement. Lonna Drews said during a news conference Tuesday that she believes Swalwell drugged her and then sexually assaulted her at a hotel. Drewes says Swalwell choked her and she lost consciousness. Swalwell's attorney did not immediately comment on the allegations. Swalwell has denied prior accusations of sexual assault by another woman. The AP does not typically name people who say they've been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly. Swalwell dropped out of the California governor's race on Sunday amid the sexual misconduct allegations.
