The article provides an overview of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which began in April between the Rapid Response Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Army. The conflict is rooted in a power struggle between army leader Abd al-Fattah al-Burhan and RSF commander Muhammad Hamdan Daglo. Various external actors, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, the European Union, the US, and Israel, have become involved in the conflict due to their competing interests. The conflict in Sudan is similar to the situation in Libya, with rival factions, external support, and the potential for a proxy war. The conflict is driven by competition for control over valuable natural resources and has reignited ethnic and tribal conflicts. Achieving a sustainable peace agreement in Sudan will be challenging, and the conflict is expected to continue for an extended period. [Extracted from the article]
