Sudan’s Shifting Battlefield: How Military Gains and Defections Are Reshaping the Path to Peace

Sudan’s war is entering a new phase as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) secure key routes in North Kordofan, prompting a wave of defections from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). While SAF chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan maintains military pressure, he has opened a political dialogue track that excludes the RSF, aiming to leverage battlefield momentum for future negotiations. Simultaneously, the UN warns that the conflict has triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 8.6 million people displaced and over 19.5 million facing acute food insecurity.

International Pressure Mounts to End Sudan's Ongoing Conflict

At least 185 people have been killed and 1,800 injured in three days of fighting between rival factions in Sudan, with heavy clashes reported in the capital Khartoum and other cities. The power struggle is between General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the armed forces commander, and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group.

Unraveling the Power Players in Sudan's Military: al-Burhan and Hemedti.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military commander who has been the de facto leader of Sudan for years, is leading the army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in violent clashes that have left nearly 600 people wounded. Al-Burhan rose to become a regional commander during the Darfur conflict, but distanced himself from the atrocities committed there. He became head of the Transitional Military Council after the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir, and later the de facto head of state as head of the Sovereign Council. However, in 2021, he led a coup, derailing Sudan's path to democracy.

Sudan's Military Leader Commits to Democratic Transition and Civilian Oversight.

Sudan's military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has reiterated that the army will be brought under a new civilian-led government as talks on military reforms began on Sunday. The proposed reforms include the integration of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the regular army. The military and political parties signed a deal in December that called for a civilian-led transition government that would oversee elections in two years. However, pro-democracy protest groups opposed the deal, demanding the inclusion of transitional justice and security reforms.
