The Complexities of Sudan's Home-Grown Conflict and External Involvement
TL;DR Summary
The conflict in Sudan between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has drawn support from various foreign players. Egypt backs Burhan, while the UAE supports Dagalo. Saudi Arabia and the United States are leading efforts to secure a ceasefire, while Ethiopia and Kenya hold some sway due to their role in regional diplomacy. Western powers supported a transition towards elections after the overthrow of former leader Omar al-Bashir, but their direct financial support was frozen when Burhan and Dagalo staged a coup in 2021.
