The ongoing power struggle between rival generals threatens Sudan's stability.
TL;DR Summary
Two rival generals, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, are battling for control in Sudan, with their forces responsible for at least 459 deaths and over 4,000 injuries. The fighting began after tensions arose during negotiations to integrate the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the country’s military as part of plans to restore civilian rule. The RSF, a paramilitary group overseen by Dagalo, has been bolstered by Russia's mercenary group, Wagner. A 72-hour ceasefire agreed on by Sudan’s Armed Forces and the RSF came into effect at midnight local time on Tuesday.
