Part 9/13:
The war, ignited in April 2023 after a violent dispute between the RSF and Sudan’s military, has devastated the country, claiming at least 12,000 lives, displacing over 12 million, and fueling famine and humanitarian crises. The RSF’s intent to form a 'Government of Peace and Unity' underscores their political aspirations, even as Sudan’s domestic institutions remain fragile and fragmented.
Allegations of atrocities, including massacres and civilian casualties, threaten to further undermine any hopes for peace. The United Arab Emirates continues to support the RSF financially and militarily, seeking to maintain influence in Sudan and its vast natural resources, particularly gold.
