TL;DR Summary

The conflict in Sudan is being driven by two generals, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who worked together to carry out a coup in 2019. The relationship between the two goes back to their roles in the counter-insurgency against Darfuri rebels in the civil war that began in 2003. Hemedti's power grew massively once he began supplying troops to fight for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. The fighting began when the RSF and SAF clashed over the re-integration of the RSF into the regular armed forces. The stakes are high, and both generals have faced calls to face trial for alleged abuses.
