Far from the war in Ukraine and the multiple fronts in the Middle East, a power grab between feuding coup leaders rages on.
Since April of 2023, Sudan has descended into a full-blown civil war where momentum’s swung several times and may be again, what with the government forces of Abdelfatah al-Buhran trying to recapture the whole of the capital and a senior general switching sides defecting from the Rapid Support Forces of Mohamed Hamdam Dogolo aka Hemedti, who has laid siege to the last major city beyond his reach inside his native Darfur.
Wewill ask about the dire situation there, the spillover effect everywhere from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa and the discrete backers who make this nightmare possible. Rival sides found themselves at the same table at this week’s Brics summit in Russia. With the West helpless elsewhere, what can be done to stop Sudan’s wanton destruction and put its revolution of 2021 back on the rails?
