The Global Power Struggle Behind Sudan's Tragedy.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan between the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) could have a devastating impact on the Horn of Africa region, which is already grappling with ongoing conflicts, climate change, and a humanitarian crisis. The risk of a refugee crisis is real, and foreign powers could intervene, as has happened in Sudan's neighbors Libya and the Central African Republic. Any full-scale conflict in Sudan could also derail the already protracted negotiations over the controversial dam Ethiopia is building on the Nile, which is an essential source of water and electricity for many countries.
