The international community has failed to stop the war that has been going on in Sudan for a hundred days between the army led by Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, while the two Nile countries are still drowning in a sea of violence and fighting at a time when the humanitarian and food crisis is exacerbating.
The two conflicting parties did not respond to the calls of the United Nations and the African Union to stop the fighting, which entered its 100th day, which caused a major humanitarian crisis that forced millions to flee internally, while hundreds of thousands of others took the path of migration towards Chad, Egypt, or even Uganda.
Despite the fragile cease-fires that Sudan witnessed from time to time, the situation on the ground is exacerbated day by day due to the refusal of the two men to sit at the negotiating table to find a political way out that guarantees the safety of the Sudanese and ends the violence.
Both are clinging to the military solution while the country’s economy is collapsing. Sudan to return to zero point.
The fighting began in the country on April 15, against the background of the tension that occurred between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces regarding the issue of handing over power to civilians.
As the fighting intensified in the country, the United Nations World Food Security Organization halted its humanitarian activities in Sudan, after the killing of three of its workers in Khartoum.
Since the beginning of the war, and specifically on the fifth day of the start of the fighting between the two sides, many countries began the process of evacuating their nationals and staff of their embassies from the country at a time when the circle of clashes widened and the army used warplanes to bomb the positions of the Rapid Support Forces, some of whose members were hiding in residential neighborhoods, which led to To many civilian casualties.
According to United Nations statistics, nearly 3,000 people have been killed, with the displacement of about three million others, including 600,000 who left for neighboring countries, led by Chad, Uganda and Egypt.. While displacement and flight operations are still continuing internally and externally with the high pace of fighting and in the absence of any way out political crisis.
The United Nations has warned of the emergence of signs of “an all-out civil war in Sudan” if the situation continues as it is and that this could affect “the entire region”.
Meanwhile, UNICEF warned in early May of the “collapse of the entire Sudanese health system” due to the intensification of fighting in the country.
On May 29, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, warned of the danger of nearly a million people fleeing Sudan by October due to the increasing violence.
On June 8, the Sudan Liberation Movement began mobilizing its fighters in Kordofan State, which generated additional fears of war contagion spreading to areas that remained safe.
On July 13, Egypt launched a new political initiative to solve the Sudanese crisis in the presence of some leaders of neighboring countries, such as Ethiopia. However, the meeting did not allow for a cease-fire and did not produce a political plan capable of restoring peace and the democratic path to the country.
For its part, the Forces for Freedom and Change, which includes political parties and civil associations, announced the organization of a new meeting in Cairo, Monday and Tuesday, “to discuss ending the war and addressing the roots of the crisis, as well as blocking the path to the regime’s plan and restoring the path of civil democratic transition,” as it wrote on its Twitter account.
Will the forces of civil society succeed where the military and the international community have failed?
UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutierrez has warned that Sudan is “on the verge of all-out civil war” that could destabilize the entire region.
