Revisiting Sudan’s Conflict: Context and Implications
Description
Visit us at Network2020.org.
Sudan’s war—between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, sparked in April 2023—has entered a deadlier phase. Recent attacks on the Abu Shouk camp near El-Fasher, a widening cholera outbreak, and aid blockages that leave much of the country in need have pushed the crisis to a breaking point. We’re re-running this episode to explain how a promised transition to civilian rule unraveled into open war, how Darfur’s past atrocities and broader questions of accountability continue to shape today’s violence, and how outside powers have amplified the fight. These headlines aren’t the focus of the original conversation—but they make its analysis newly urgent.
Hosted by Network 20/20, in conversation Mr. Sami Hamdi, an expert on the MENA region and the Managing Director of the International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company.
