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.

Failed Ceasefire and the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis in the DRC

Was the Rwanda-DRC ceasefire agreement effective in ending humanitarian struggles in the eastern DRC? The ceasefire was not effective since it did not include non-state militias which are actively present in the region and are pursuing violence against civilians. Civilians continue to die predominantly at the hands of non-state militias. Additionally, Rwanda was not actively involved in reaching peace, while the DRC did not try to ameliorate the livelihood of civilians.
