US EditionSudan: The Battle for Khartoum - Tracking Sudan's War Over Two Years
- Since April 15, 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces, headed by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces , led by Mohamed Dagalo , which began in Khartoum and quickly spread across the country.
- The conflict stems from a long-standing power struggle over military control and integration, exacerbated by external support from various foreign players, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates who have backed different factions since the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
- The fighting has created one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies, leaving an estimated 30 million Sudanese civilians in need of aid and forcing more than 14 million people to flee their homes, while brutal attacks, looting, and destruction of infrastructure have become commonplace.
- Despite high-level peace talks brokered by the African Union and the UN aimed at negotiating a ceasefire, these efforts have largely been unsuccessful, with countries hosting the talks often pursuing competing interests in Sudan, affecting their impartiality.
- As of March 2025, the Sudanese army claims to have seized control of Khartoum, but the RSF still controls large swaths of land, particularly in the Darfur region, and despite a UN report in September 2024 calling for an independent force to protect civilians, Sudanese officials rejected the proposal, leaving millions at risk with no clear resolution in sight.
