For as long as men with guns dominate Sudan’s politics, it will struggle to find peace
in Sudan, which began on April 15th, has already forced almost 400,000 people from their homes. Tens of thousands have crossed into neighbouring countries, including Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan . The UN expects as many as 800,000 refugees in the coming weeks and months.
At its heart, this is a battle between the Sudanese Armed Forces —the national army, which seized power in 2019—and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces . The RSF is commanded by Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo , a warlord from the Darfur region who has in effect been Sudan’s vice-president since the coup. At first glance this appears to be a narrow fight between two armed factions struggling for power.
By early May, an uneasy calm prevailed in much of the country outside of Khartoum where, despite multiple ceasefires, fighting continued almost without pause. Localised peace agreements brokered by elders, activists and religious leaders had put a stop to the big battles in Darfur. The countryside around Khartoum, too, was more or less stable.
