UN Agencies Abstract -Sudan is a country that has been described by the UN as the worst humanitarian crisis in 2024.
Technology became the tool for the human rights violations by the conflicting parties and gun for UN agencies working in Sudan to entangle the social disaster and food security by providing short term and long-term actions and solutions in many fields.
The data collection in this paper was carried out using history and data analysis.
The limitation of this study paper was the absence of a chance for the researcher to go directly to Sudan to get first-hand data.
All data will likely be checked into reliable sources.
From the results analysis data in the paper, it can be concluded that technological intervention in the human crisis has contributed and succeeded in many positive ways to being the last platform for the victims and on the contrary, being abused, and failed to open the Sudanese issue to the international community.

Technological INTRODUCTION Early thought that started and motivated the wiring process of this paper is hence there was never a real democracy and long-lasting peace in Sudan, a country that was claimed by the UN as having the worst humanitarian crisis in the half of 2024.
With its promising geopolitics, and its strategic position on the edge of the Red Sea, the Sahel, and the Horn of Africa.
Sudan is also gifted with numerous natural and human resources.
However, sadly Sudan is always been the place where the shadow and proxy wars between the stronger states and non-state actors that stronger in terms of military and financial aspects, and this humanitarian crisis got a very limited publication in international news media coverage.
The constant rise and fall of authoritarian governments has caused political instability and created a domino effect such as food insecurity and social disasters across the nation as the economy and peace continue to evolve from bad to worse.
In recent studies, various sources have highlighted significant findings relevant to current events.
For instance.

These sources collectively contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing narrative in todayAos society.
The problem formulations in this paper are as follows:
How has the technology been used as a tool of propaganda, brainwashing, spreading hate, failing democracy and removing human rights in Sudan and how far, deep, and complex is its function to result in food insecurity and social What specific technological interventions have been employed by the UN agencies to counteract these negative effects and address the humanitarian crisis mainly in the fields of food insecurity and social disaster in the country? The aims of this paper are as follows:
To examine how technology has been used and abused as a tool of propaganda, brainwashing, spreading hate, failing democracy, and removing human rights in Sudan, and to determine the depth and complexity of its function in resulting food insecurity and social disasters.

RESULT & DISCUSSION
How has the technology been used as a tool of propaganda, brainwashing, spreading hate, failing democracy and removing human rights in Sudan and how far, deep, and complex is its function to result in food insecurity and social On 15th April 2023.
Omar al Bashir, who had been a longtime military dictator, was forcefully removed from power after three decades through a military coup dAoytat.
This significant event marked a dramatic shift in the political landscape (Center for Preventive Action, 2.
This military coup dAoetat was supported widely by the citizens and paramilitary groups across the country in the hope of ending the authoritarian rule in Sudan.
However, instead of establishing a democratic government for its people, the military wonAot let go of its control over the full power in government and just change it with another authoritarian The transfer of power triggered the rebellion from a powerful paramilitary group named Rapid Support Force versus the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Both have various backing from powerful countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Russia.
In a recent study.
Kurtz .
describes the rebellion as leading to a year filled with misery and a humanitarian catastrophe that severely affected its This situation highlights the profound impact of the conflict on the population, underscoring the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and intervention in times of crisis .
Technology is playing a powerful role in scrambling the support from the citizens to take control and power by the RFS and SAF, as Reporters Without Borders noted in its 2024 latest report.
Both conflicting parties used television to constantly show propaganda about their image brand their coalition with Uni Arab Emirate and Russia and brainwash the citizens to justify their actions of human rights violations.
The finances for the use of technology for propaganda purposes came from the UAE and Russia .

Juni 2025 Aa citated from Gallopin, the UAE, a country that served the world as the financial hub, mutually benefit the RSF.
UAE need RSF to secure their ownership of Sudanese gold mining to their stateAos gold global trade and economic The RSF is also being benefited by the UAE as they can collect their gold revenue safely in haven UAE and supply the weapons for their military activities that some described as genocide .
In study by Doxsee and Mahdi and Hiebert .
Russia, which is also profitable by the gold like UAE, need the RSF and Sudan completely to fund their own war in Ukraine.
Especially after being sanctioned by the EU and other nations .
In exchange, the Russian buzzer will continue to work to divide and create chaos in Sudan and the Wagner group.
PutinAos right-handed paramilitary group, trained and served the RSF willingness if they still want SudanAos gold.
RussiaAos buzzer was tasked to help spread hate speech and propaganda to divide and provoke heat tension between different groups of citizens.
This including by the successful use of AI voice cloning to impersonate former president Omar al Bashir, which reported missing since the latest coup, in late 2023.
Another technological abuse by both conflicting parties was their monopolized control and totally limited internet access all over the country .
When a demonstration is likely to happen, they shut off the internet access and connection completely and leave the country and its citizens in a total blackout.
In study by Nnamani .
, the internet blackout in political instability has collapsed the economy of the nation .
The online services and business completely The social disaster happened everywhere as many citizens suddenly found themselves as a refugee and were displaced from their own homes with no economic strength and ability to communicate with the outside world .
Technology was also responsible for taking part in this food security crisis.
In the report by WFP .
, the food insecurity problem that already existed at the beginning of the civil war now has become very intense and remarked that Sudan is facing the worst hunger crisis and 18 million people are found in the scale of acute hunger and 5 million people in the scale of emergency and malnutrition .
The international media coverage just simplified the humanitarian crisis to the international world as just a Aocivil war between two generalsAo and forgot the multilayered and complex foreign roles and circumstances behind it.
It was disappointing to compare the case with the news coverage of Ukraine and Palestine.
Again, the realpolitik played hard to determine the direction and narrative brought and spread to the international community.
During the humanitarian crises.
Ukraine and Palestine were considered to be more politically important to intervene for major power holders in the world than Sudan.
Study conducted by Donelly and Dhingra .
showed the shallow simplified narratives made the many international donors cut their funding for UN agencies' humanitarian missions in Sudan.
Especially after the RSF also closed the port and airport of Sudan, and donors cut the funding of international aid agencies for Sudan, leaving its people off from the outside world in the intense and stressful humanitarian crisis.
The war also disturbed the agricultural productivity across the country, along with the global climate change that brought the drought and resulted in failed ISSN 3109-7677 This also correlated tightly with SudanAos economy as the economy mostly relied on agriculture .
The children and women are the most victimized in Sudan's humanitarian crisis.
Using the latest UN Women statement .
, gender-based violence became more intense as part of the to continue.
In the mass displacement, many women and girls bore the horrifying consequences of the social disaster and food insecurity.
Desperate for quick money to provide basic needs such as food and clothes, many women and girls have been raped, experienced domestic violence from their families as the stress and unstable emotional condition in the disaster to were being sold to human traffickers that often organized group to send these women to overseas per request on social media.
Technology, which was previously hoped to be the last platform for victims to speak up, seek justice and try to bring this issue up to the international community in the hope they will seek accountability for what the government and the RSF had already done to them, failed its task .
What specific technological interventions have been used by the UN agencies to counteract these negative effects and address the humanitarian crisis mainly in the fields of food insecurity and social disaster in the country? To counter back the government and the conflicting parties' use of technology in this humanitarian crisis, the agencies of the United Nations such as the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the United Nations ChildrenAos Fund (UNICEF), and the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2024 to overcome all of the humanitarian crisis's social disaster and food insecurity in Sudan step by step aimed to reach Sustainable Development Goals by continuing this programme from 2019, even before the civil war, to currently.
This project sought the well of the citizens in poverty, gender equality, solving climate change and building peace.
Mass displacement was one of the main results of the social disaster, in Sudan's case, it the political instability.
However, the huge amount of displaced people refugees in Sudan was not only internally displaced Sudanese after the civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and RFS.
data obtained from UNHCR Sudan also hosted refugees from neighbouring countries with fragile economic and political instability, even though their level of humanitarian crisis was not as severe as can be seen in Sudan.
Including Chad.
Yemen.
Central Africa Republic.
Ethiopia.
South Sudan.
Syria, and Eritrea.
Another resistance and effort from UNHCR .
, the UN agencies using the technology intervention is launching a programme named AoEmpowering Refugees Through TechnologyAo to provide internet to refugees aimed at the betterment of the refugees as the bridge to the aspect of communicating with the outside world.
The technology was viewed and used to be an important platform to raise the issue of a humanitarian crisis to the international community through transparent and direct communication .
This will likely make the donors give back their humanitarian aid to fuel the transformation progress of the refugee life.
This program also enables the refugee of the mass displacement to put an update and keep learning in this digital era remotely from their shelter.
Especially women and girls in Sudan, a country that is still likely to believe that women and girls https://journal.

should not be outside the home too often.
The program also makes the identification and data collection process to be The access to electronic cash assistance and financial services to support the refugees in the transformation process including the electric coupon for food rations for each family of refugee.
This effort was conducted through the UN agenciesAo cooperation with various tech companies and businesses with the same humanitarian aim, and the national Aware that the children suffered the most in the Sudan humanitarian crisis, the UN agencies emphasized its care to the acute and emergency malnutrition conditions caused by the food insecurity that was experienced by many children and their delayed occasion to fulfil their human rights to get a proper and good education.
Data collected show by UNICEF .
that 4 million children have registered in the refugee camp, and almost all of them are malnourished.
The humanitarian crisis also impacted Sudanese education to evolve as the worst in the world.
So the AoDigital StrategyAo programme launched by UNICEF to boost the digital interventions in many positive aspects of the refugee childrenAos lives, including health, education, social and child protection, environment and water, and sanitation as the aim of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goal.
This action was also launched in Sudan and hoped to encourage the children of refugees to heal from the trauma and set up a better future .
In efforts to end food insecurity and improve a lower middle-income country, the economy relies heavily on the agricultural industry.
UNEP reported the UN uses and provides AoTechnology Needs AssistanceAo in Sudan.
It acted to improve the variety of crop breeding, conservation agriculture, automatic water level monitoring systems, rainwater-harvesting techniques, biogas-improved stoves, compact fluorescent lamps, and efficient boilers with dual fuels to ensure long-term food security solutions .
IV.
by evaluating the previous efforts, failures, challenges, and complex nature using a more strategic approach, the author is positively optimistic that UN agencies will reach more success in doing positive technological The collaboration with civil society from the grassroots level and the local community to connect with the international community to ensure transparency and accountability was crucial for the successful positive technological interventions in adapting to the dynamic of humanitarian crises itself.
May it be the opening way towards stability, peace, democracy and giving back people their rights as Especially for the women and children.
May the victim get justice and somehow the worst humanitarian crisis will end.
