Sudan’s army has launched an offensive to retake the capital, Khartoum, and surrounding areas from the Rapid Support Forces, a rival paramilitary group. The conflict, which has been ongoing for more than a year, has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis with thousands of people killed, widespread disease, and displacement.
The question remains: will the army be able to defeat the paramilitary forces and bring an end to the conflict? This pressing issue is discussed on a recent episode of the show, with guests including humanitarian affairs manager Sebastien Ponsford, Sudanese lawyer Abdelkhalig Shaib, and regional director Hala Alkarib.
The situation in Sudan is dire and uncertain, with no clear end in sight to the violence and suffering. The international community must continue to monitor the situation closely and provide support to those affected by the conflict.
As the conflict rages on, it is crucial for humanitarian organizations like Doctors without Borders to continue their work on the ground, providing assistance to those in need. Sudanese lawyers and political advisors like Shaib are also playing a critical role in navigating the complex political landscape in the country.
Women, who are often disproportionately affected by conflict and displacement, must also be a focus of attention and support. Alkarib’s work with the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa is crucial in ensuring that women are not forgotten in the midst of the crisis.
The road ahead for Sudan and its people is uncertain, but with continued international support and the dedication of organizations and individuals working on the ground, there is hope for a brighter future.
