As the sun sets over Sudan, the shadows cast by faltering peace talks and escalating conflict paint a grim picture of a nation teetering on the brink.
New Delhi, Dec. 8.– As the sun sets over Sudan, the shadows cast by faltering peace talks and escalating conflict paint a grim picture of a nation teetering on the brink. The recent breakdown in Jeddah of negotiations brokered by Saudi Arabia and the USA dashes hopes for an end to a crisis that has displaced more than 6.5 million people; shattered the economy, and unleashed ethnically driven massacres in Darfur. The pressing question remains. How did a country that once united to oust former ruler Omar al-Bashir find itself mired in internal strife? The army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), once comrades in the struggle against Bashir, have turned on each other over a transition plan, plunging Sudan into a vortex of chaos.
The dire situation in Sudan demands global attention and concerted efforts for resolution. The lack of progress at the peace talks is a harsh reminder that the international community’s role goes beyond mere mediation. It is a call to action, a plea to address the root causes of the conflict and not merely its symptoms. What unfolds in Khartoum is not just a political power struggle. It is a humanitarian catastrophe. Civilians bear the brunt of the conflict, facing artillery attacks that tear through their homes.
