Question

In Sudan, government instability has had serious effects on the standard of living. Sudan
has experienced military takeovers, civil war, and armed conflict in recent years. Fighting
has damaged schools and hospitals, making it difficult for children to attend school
regularly. Many families have been forced to leave their homes, becoming refugees or
internally displaced people. Food shortages have increased because farms have been
destroyed and supply routes have been blocked. Aid organizations report that millions of
people in Sudan face hunger and limited access to medicine. These challenges show how
government instability can lower a country’s standard of living.

Answer 1

Answers
1. Fighting has damaged schools and hospitals, so children cannot attend school regularly and people have reduced access to medical care.
2. Many people face hunger because farms have been destroyed and supply routes have been blocked, reducing food production and distribution; displacement and limited aid further cut access to food and medicine.

What to highlight and why
- "military takeovers, civil war, and armed conflict" — highlights the root causes of instability.
- "damaged schools and hospitals" — direct evidence for how conflict affects education and health (supports Q1).
- "making it difficult for children to attend school regularly" — clarifies the impact on schooling.
- "forced to leave their homes, becoming refugees or internally displaced people" — shows displacement that reduces access to livelihoods and services.
- "farms have been destroyed and supply routes have been blocked" — direct causes of food shortages (supports Q2).
- "aid organizations report that millions of people in Sudan face hunger and limited access to medicine" — shows the scale and severity and provides authoritative support.
