No Peace in Sight
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.
