Sudan’s army has recently gained control of three important bridges in and out of the capital city of Khartoum, but heavy fighting continues in the central part of the city. The ongoing conflict has resulted in one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. The army has demanded that the paramilitary forces it is fighting against withdraw from the territory it controls in order for peace to be achieved. Despite this, there is concern about the lack of willingness from both sides to reach a resolution.
On a recent news program hosted by Hashem Ahelbarra, experts weighed in on the situation. Kholood Khair, the founding director of Confluence Advisory, a Sudanese think tank, highlighted the need for dialogue and compromise to end the conflict. Amgad Fareid Eltayeb, the executive director of the Sudanese think tank Fikra for Studies and Development, emphasized the importance of finding a political solution to the crisis.
Dr. Mukesh Kapila, a former United Nations resident and humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, voiced concerns about the potential regional impact of the renewed fighting in Sudan. He warned that the conflict could escalate and destabilize the region further.
As the situation in Sudan remains volatile, with the army making gains but facing continued resistance, it is crucial for all parties to prioritize peace and work towards a lasting solution. The international community must also continue to support efforts to mitigate the humanitarian crisis and prevent further escalation of violence in the region.
