10 days of war in Sudan and answers to three important questions.

10 days have passed since the conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, a war that has left more than 400 dead and about 4,000 wounded. Sudan is sinking more and more into chaos and the question is where will this conflict end? The question that this report tries to answer in the form of four sub-questions:

How did the Sudan crisis flare up?

The power struggle between Sudan’s army chief, Abdul Fattah al-Barhan, who is now the head of state, and his deputy, Mohammad Hamdan Daghlo, nicknamed “Hamidati”, the head of the Rapid Support Forces, both of whom seek to defeat each other, have set the country on fire. and although both now claim to support the ceasefire and dialogue, both are in practice contrary to their claims.

What is the fate of the civilian population and the political forces of Sudan?

Sudanese civilians are suffering from the tragic effects of the generals’ war. The people of Khartoum, who had been hiding in their homes since the early days of the war, are now fleeing en masse as the fighting escalates and the water, electricity and internet are cut off.

Aerial bombardment and attacks with heavy weapons did not spare hospitals and schools. According to the Organization of Sudanese Doctors, 60 out of 74 hospitals in the city of Khartoum with a population of 5 million are out of order due to insecurity and lack of medical facilities.

What is the role of regional and international powers?

Since the first day of the war, calls for a ceasefire and the start of dialogue have multiplied, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres telling the Security Council on Monday: “The violence in Sudan must stop and a ceasefire to prevent the country from falling into An abyss of chaos will be established.

Last Wednesday, 15 Western embassies in Khartoum, including those of the United States, the European Union and Norway, called on the warring parties to “immediately and unconditionally end hostilities” in a press release.

But two days later, most of these embassies, diplomatic staff and ambassadors were transferred to other places and were forced to close.

Al-Barhan and Hamidti are connected with some active international and regional powers, different governments have established political, economic and diplomatic relations with one of these two military leaders in recent years.
