Sudan’s conflict intensifies with increased violence between SAF and RSF, evidenced by deadly shelling in Omdurman. Over 12 million people displaced, with severe humanitarian crises ongoing. Analysts note that regaining Khartoum won’t end the conflict, as RSF retains control over significant territories. Humanitarian support is urgently needed amid worsening conditions.
Recent incidents in Sudan’s war, including two deadly explosions within days, highlight the escalating violence during the conflict between the Sudanese army (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). In Omdurman, near Al-Nau Hospital, six died in shelling amidst a broader push by SAF to regain full control of Khartoum. Medics report increased casualties as fighting spreads across multiple fronts, with civilians heavily impacted. Analysts suggest that while SAF may reclaim territory, this will not likely end the conflict.
Since the outbreak of war in April 2023, triggered by a power struggle between SAF leader Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, Sudan has erupted into violence. Roughly 12 million people have been displaced, and famine affects many. Despite successful operations in retaking areas like Wad Madani, the RSF still controls significant territories, raising questions about the conflict’s eventual resolution and Sudan’s governance.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan remains dire, with increasing violence and humanitarian crises. Despite potential military victories for SAF, the RSF retains control over vast areas, complicating any prospects for peace. The international community, including the US, continues to grapple with its role amidst the chaos as civilians bear the brunt of the fighting and ensuing humanitarian catastrophe. Importance must be given to the continuous support for the displaced and war-affected populations.
