@JCE Thanks Jake, resolved!

Betting yes on this market never feels good.

Would children who die of malnutrition as a result of displacement be included?

@JCE A famine directly caused by the conflict would count, yes

ACLED might be a good source for resolving the question. Not always perfect as they rely on verifiable information, but better than news reports repeating potentially biased statements from involved parties

10,000 reported killed in one West Darfur city, as ethnic violence ravages Sudanese region | CNN

More than 10,000 people have been killed in the Sudanese region of West Darfur in the past two months, tribal leaders say, amid a deadly conflict between two warring factions that has triggered a mass exodus of refugees from the country and displaced millions internally.

Should probably wait for confirmation from other sources. Claim isn't exactly coming from a disinterested party.

@jskf ouch, yeah, should have read past the headline, it's late lol

@CodeandSolder this article also claims 10k in past two months, but wikipedia puts that number at 10,000 according to the Sudanese gov't and 300,000 according to the UN, both since the beginning of the conflict in the early 2000s. unclear if the article is missing info or getting timelines messed up
