Sudan’s War Rages On: No End in Sight
More than three years since it began, Sudan’s brutal civil war shows no signs of slowing down. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) remain locked in deadly combat, while civilians pay the highest price.
Renewed fighting in North Darfur has forced even more families to flee. Over 12 million people are now displaced, creating one of the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes.
The RSF is being accused of using drones to target civilians and critical infrastructure, including Port Sudan’s airport and container terminal. That’s a red line. Port Sudan is one of the last functioning lifelines for aid and trade.
The United Nations and global agencies are sounding the alarm, urging immediate international support. However, response efforts remain grossly underfunded.
And here’s what’s not being discussed enough: the spillover risk. With militias from South Sudan already involved, there are growing fears that this war could ignite regional chaos.
In a recent episode of Different Perspectives, I spoke with Dr. Edgar Githua, a security and diplomacy expert at Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya. He warned that this war could fragment Sudan into warlord-run territories, with no endgame in sight.
