The conflict in Sudan began with a military coup in 2021, leading to a violent struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (R.S.F.). By April 2023, this conflict escalated into an all-out war, resulting in a humanitarian catastrophe with a death toll potentially exceeding 400,000 and over ten million people displaced. The SAF, backed by Egypt, controls much of northern Sudan, while the R.S.F., accused of genocide, is supported by the U.A.E. The war has transformed into a complex struggle involving ethnic divisions and regional power dynamics, as foreign nations vie for influence in the region. The U.A.E.'s backing of the R.S.F. is driven by its interests in the Red Sea and Sudan's resources, while Egypt's support for the SAF is rooted in its security concerns. The conflict reflects deeper ideological struggles and has reshaped alliances across the region.
