The Breakdown 31

• The brutal civil war in Sudan, now over two years long, has pitted the Sudanese military against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in a fierce struggle for power, exacerbated by external influences seeking control in the region.
• This devastating conflict has created a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, leading to widespread atrocities, severe starvation, and millions displaced, with tens of thousands dead.
• Recently, the RSF has shown a willingness to accept a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by an international mediating group known as the Quad, which includes key players like the U.S. and several Arab nations.
• However, the Sudanese military remains hesitant, demanding the RSF's disarmament and accountability for its leaders before considering any ceasefire agreement.
• Amidst this turmoil, evidence of mass civilian killings and potential mass graves has emerged, raising alarm among the international community and fueling calls for intervention to protect innocent lives.
• The situation has left members of the Sudanese diaspora feeling abandoned by their governments as violence escalates, highlighting the global stakes involved in resolving the ongoing crisis.
