The Complexities of Sudan's Ongoing Conflict.
TL;DR Summary
Sudan's hopes for democracy after the overthrow of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in 2019 have turned into a power struggle between two generals, killing at least 500 civilians and sparking an exodus of tens of thousands of refugees. The conflict can be traced back to Bashir, who fostered rival paramilitary units and armed groups to head off potential challengers. The hybrid civilian-military government set up after Bashir's ouster concentrated power in the hands of the men with guns. The failure of foreign powers to sanction the two generals when they jointly overthrew the government in 2021 also contributed to the conflict.
