Global Concerns Rise as Violence Escalates in Sudan's Capital.

Fighting between two top generals in Sudan has put the country at risk of collapse and could have consequences beyond its borders. The conflict could become a prolonged civil war or lead to the partition of the country into rival fiefdoms. Sudan shares its waters with regional heavyweights Egypt and Ethiopia, and the conflict could have implications for these countries. External powers, including Arab Gulf countries, Russia, and Western nations, have interests in Sudan. The conflict has already killed hundreds of people and left millions trapped in urban areas.
