International Pressure Mounts to End Sudan's Ongoing Conflict

At least 185 people have been killed and 1,800 injured in three days of fighting between rival factions in Sudan, with heavy clashes reported in the capital Khartoum and other cities. The power struggle is between General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the armed forces commander, and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group. The fighting broke out over disagreements about the planned integration of the RSF into the regular army. The crisis has been ongoing since the 2021 coup. Emergency services have been stopped at hospitals, creating a humanitarian crisis. The Sudanese army has captured a strategic RSF base in Port Sudan.
