Sudan Teeters on Brink: Darfur Division Looms Amid Ongoing Conflict
Sudan is facing the possibility of being divided along ethnic lines, with a potential partitioning of the country into two separate entities - one controlled by the government and another ruled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of war crimes. The situation has been deteriorating for nearly two years, threatening to plunge the country into further instability.
Sudan is bracing for the possibility of internal division along ethnic lines, as the ongoing war between the government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) gains momentum. The RSF, predominantly composed of ethnic Arab groups from the western region of Darfur, has been accused of committing atrocities against civilians in the region. Analysts warn that if the conflict escalates further, it could lead to a de facto partition along the lines of Sudan's existing regional divisions, potentially pitting northern and southern regions against one another. The prospect of a divided Sudan poses significant challenges for the country's stability and its relations with the international community.
