One obvious reason this story gets less bandwidth is that it's harder to form an opinion besides "this is I'll news".
In Ukraine, I have a narrative I understand: an aggressor and an unlikely equal.
I won't go into Israel-Gaza but that situation has been politically observed for decades and people have opinions which can be explored and debated.
The coverage of Sudan - mostly from The Guardian in my case - leads me to believe that maybe the SDF side are committing slightly more atrocities? It seems like the two top tyrants fell out, and now this?
I guess the conflict lacks historical and political ambiguities to make it "interesting" and lacks "us-versus-them" angle to draw a western audience in emotionally? It's not less worthy of note, but I can understand how it goes less noticed.
There are of course lots of other reasons this war gets less coverage, but I thought a long rambling incoherent thought dump was what I'd go with here.

Ukraine/Russia has significant implications for Russia and NATO regardless the outcome. Both could, in edge cases, escalate awfully fast into some really bad situations for the globe.
No one is likely to fire a nuke over Sudan, or at least not as likely as the other two.
I guess you could call this the forgotten war. I don't remember hearing much about it beyond being vaguely aware that some sort of conflict is going on. I certainly understand why no one...
I guess you could call this the forgotten war. I don't remember hearing much about it beyond being vaguely aware that some sort of conflict is going on. I certainly understand why no one particularly cares about another civil war in East Africa in one of the poorest countries in the world. It doesn't have anywhere near as much of an impact on geopolitics, but that doesn't make it any less of a catastrophe. The UN says it's the largest mass displacement in the world currently, with up to 10,000 killed but 5.6 million internally displaced.
