Sudan’s army has made significant gains in the capital city of Khartoum, now controlling three key bridges in and out of the city. However, heavy fighting continues in central Khartoum, exacerbating one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. The army chief is calling for paramilitary forces to withdraw from the territory they control in order to achieve peace, but there may be a lack of will on both sides to make this happen.
Guests on a recent panel discussion, including Kholood Khair and Amgad Fareid Eltayeb from Sudanese think tanks, as well as Dr. Mukesh Kapila, a former UN resident and humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, weighed in on the situation. They discussed the potential implications of the renewed fighting and whether it could lead to further destabilization in the region.
The panel raised important questions about the motives and willingness of both the army and paramilitary forces to work towards a peaceful resolution. With ongoing violence and a lack of consensus on how to move forward, the situation in Sudan remains concerning.
As the conflict continues to unfold, the international community will be closely watching for any signs of escalation or potential opportunities for mediation. The need for humanitarian assistance in Sudan is critical, and efforts to address the root causes of the conflict are more urgent than ever.
