Global Leaders Missing Key Solution to Sudan's Cease-Fire Failures.

One month after fighting between Sudan's two military factions broke out in the capital, Khartoum, internationally-brokered peace talks in Saudi Arabia have yielded no solution. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) said Monday that more than 600 people had been killed and over 5,000 injured as a result of the fighting. Almost a million people have fled their homes, both to locations within Sudan and across the border to neighboring countries. The U.S., U.N. and Saudi Arabia are brokering talks between the two sides, though tentative cease-fires and commitments to allow humanitarian corridors into the sprawling country have collapsed almost immediately.

Sudan's Power Struggle: Military, Paramilitary, and Mediators Attempt to Ease Tensions

Sudan has been in a power struggle since the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir in 2019, with the military and civilian parties sharing power until a coup in 2021. Tensions between the military and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) threaten a pending deal to restore a civilian government. The civilian side seeks oversight of the military and the integration of the RSF into the regular army, as well as justice for war crimes and pro-democracy protesters killed by security forces. The economy has worsened, and Sudan's strategic location has attracted regional power plays.
