How domestic power struggles and international interference prolong Sudan’s civil war
Why has Sudan’s civil war persisted despite military shifts and international involvement?
The competing clientelist systems of Al-Burhan and Hemedti, combined with persistent foreign interference, make successful peace talks unlikely. Even if the Al-Burhan's SAF secures key tactical victories, such as reclaiming Khartoum, this will not necessarily lead to a decisive end to the conflict.
As a result, Sudan remains locked in prolonged instability with devastating humanitarian consequences.
