Sudan Civil War:
Sudan is gripped by a devastating civil war that has derailed its democratic transition and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The war stems from a power struggle between two rival military factions — the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti). The 2019 ouster of dictator Omar al-Bashir raised hopes for civilian rule, but the 2021 military coup dissolved the transitional government, restoring power to rival security factions After the 2021 military coup, the conflict spread from Khartoum to Darfur, Kordofan, El Fasher and Gezira, erupting in 2023 into Sudan’s worst crisis in decades as the SAF and RSF clashed violently.
