Sudan's Generals Pushing Country Towards Disaster with Implications for Neighboring Countries.
Sudan is on the brink of a protracted civil war as the country's two main security organs, the army and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have been fighting for power since they jointly overthrew longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The conflict has escalated, with violence breaking out in at least eight of Sudan's 13 states, and regional powers are lining up behind the main belligerents. The best chance of extinguishing the conflict lies in a unified front: if Western and regional powers come together with Sudanese civil society groups to push for a permanent cease-fire and eventually a civilian-led transition to democracy, they may still be able to halt Sudan's slide into civil war.
