The conflict in Sudan

The conflict in Sudan

Here's a video showcasing the diverse cultural and religious history of Sudan.
before we get into the conflict that sudan is dealing with, we wanted to present to you a video showcasing a very a different sudan. One which without a doubt will change all of your previous perspectives on what you though sudan is and once was.

A Sudan you've never seen

Sudan represents over 8% of the African continent

Facts about Sudan

Sudan is home to over 200 pyramids (built by the ancient Nubian civilization from as early as 2,500 BC)

There are over 114 languages spoken in Sudan

While the conflict in Sudan continues to spread, humanitarian access has become more limited. Intense violence and movement restrictions on humanitarian actors have prevented the delivery of aid, especially in the south of Sudan where needs are highest. The conflict continues in the face of floundering diplomatic efforts, humanitarian needs will continue to rise–and the ability to meet them will fall

An introduction to the war

The ongoing war in Sudan stems from a complex history of political instability, military dominance, and deep-rooted ethnic, social, and economic tensions. To understand this conflict, one must look back to Sudan's past, post-independence struggles, and the military’s enduring influence on governance.

Rapid support forces

All the aforementioned events led to a power vaccum in which two Millitary leaders Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan (SAF) and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (RSF) fought to seize control of the country thus starting a civil war.

THE POWER STRUGGLE

RSF VS SAF

Power and greed, the motivation of both men caused homes to be looted and destroyed, men, women and children killed and separated, people forcefully evicted from their homes and prisoners released, further intesifying the conflict in Sudan.

displacement

Being the second-largest country in the African continent with a poulation of fifty-million people, Sudan is currently suffering from the largest amount of displaced people in the entire world, with a reported ten-million + refugees, fleeing into neighbouring countries this means over 1/5th of the population in Sudan have had to flee their homes and lives in order to survive.

  • Civilians have been killed, with women and children subjected to horrific violence.
  • Homes, hospitals, and schools have been unnecessarily shelled.
  • Families are separated from their loved ones, living in constant fear.
  • People face danger while walking the streets in search of basic necessities.
  • Parents grieve the loss of their children.
  • Displaced refugees are denied their basic rights, lacking safe shelter and essential resources.

According to the United Nations, 26 million people are facing acute hunger in Sudan.

Raising much needed attention!
The rise to power
July 1989

Omar Al-Bashir led a revolt that overthrew the elected government of Sudan in 1989. He served as president of Sudan from 1993 until 2019, when he arrested after being overthrown by the military following months of protests.

The conflict in Sudan has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by the dynamics of a proxy war. The fighting between the SAF and the RSF has been fueled by external interests, particularly the UAE, which has supported the RSF and other regional actors.

The fight for Power

Rising tensions
April 2019 - October 2021

The Transitional government faces challenges from both the military and the RSF. The RSF now a powerful force under Hemedti begins to assert its dominance, causing friction with the SAF and undermining efforts to establish a stable democratic transition.

The RSF and international involvement
2011 - 2015

Despite the RSF's history of human rights abuses, the EU engaged with Sudan's government for aid, which strengthened the RSF's power. Also, the UAE involved the RSF in Yemen to help strengthen their army.

Framework agreements & false hope
December 2022

Sudan's military and civilian leaders signed the framework agreement ,(FA) to resume the transition to civilian rule, which had been disrupted by the 2021 coup. The deal was supported by the UN, UK, Saudi Arabia and The UAE.

The RSF

The group evolved from so-called Janjaweed militias, which fought in a conflict in the 2000s in the Darfur region, where they were used by the government of long-ruling President Omar al-Bashir to help the army put down a rebellion.

2003 -2008
The revolution

April 11, 2019, Bashir was overthrown in a military coup and placed under arrest. The military however does not adress the underlying issues of oppression, despite ending Bashir's rule.
