“Widespread military confrontations in the capital Khartoum and other cities between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemeti, and the Sudanese army led by General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan continue to take place largely in Sudan’s suburban areas, causing numerous humanitarian, economic and political disasters in Sudan.”

Ongoing conflicts

“While conflicts are not a newcomer to Sudan, which depends heavily on foreign aid, this time the fighting is tearing the country’s capital apart in an unstable region bordering the Red Sea, the Sahel, and the Horn of Africa.”

Third Week Crises

With the conflict entering its third week, Khartoum has seen airstrikes, explosions, and gunshots despite a new 72-hour truce agreed by the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The UN has warned that Sudan is on the verge of a humanitarian “catastrophe” and that hundreds of thousands could flee. Bloody clashes have displaced tens of thousands of Sudanese to neighboring countries, such as Egypt, Chad, and the Central African Republic.

The Influence of Neighboring Countries

Sudanese political analyst, Mohamed Al-Tayeb, said that the armed conflict in Sudan between the army and the rapid support forces has raised regional and international concerns extending to the Nile waters and oil pipelines, and also related to the form of the expected new government, in addition to fears of a major humanitarian crisis looming on the horizon. The crisis also began to have major economic consequences on the neighboring countries looming on the horizon, if the war lasted for a long time, and expected a negative credit impact on the neighboring countries, especially since the geostrategic economic position of Sudan does not only concern the Arab world, considering that it is a source of food security or wealth but also concerns many African countries.

The political analyst added that Sudan’s stability is stability for neighboring African countries, and any political or military unrest will certainly affect them greatly; There are seven main countries neighboring Sudan that are greatly affected by developments there, in addition to neighboring countries, so that the number of affected countries at least makes up about 17 countries, depending in one way or another on the stability of Sudan; It is expected that the current crisis will cause financial crises for many of those countries, as well as several continental financial institutions. Several financial institutions have investments in Sudan, such as the African Development Bank and the African Import and Export Bank, which encourages the production and export of many goods in Sudan.
