The sabotage of the economy

22 Feb 2024  |  internazionale.it
In Sudan, conflict factions are engaging in economic sabotage, severely impacting the country's infrastructure, including telecommunications and roads. The Forze di supporto rapido (Rsf) and the Sudanese army have been in conflict for ten months, with the situation escalating as minor groups join, increasing the stakes. Telecommunication services by Sudani, Mtn, and Zain have been largely inaccessible, crippling banking operations and customs services. The Sudanese telecommunications authority accuses the Rsf of blocking data centers and selectively restoring communications in Darfur. The economic sabotage has left 95% of Sudan isolated, with 18 million people on the brink of starvation and over six million internally displaced, half of whom are children. The conflict has also driven over two million people to flee to neighboring countries, with the situation in Chad reminiscent of Darfur twenty years ago, yet without international outrage or effective humanitarian or peace initiatives.

Hemedti’s shuttle diplomacy divides region on Sudan crisis

08 Jan 2024  |  theeastafrican.co.ke
Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemedti, commander of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, has been engaging in shuttle diplomacy across the Horn of Africa to gain leverage in peace negotiations with Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. Hemedti received a warm welcome from Kenyan President William Ruto in Nairobi, despite previous accusations from al-Burhan of Ruto's bias towards Hemedti. The RSF has taken control of Khartoum and surrounding areas, prompting al-Burhan to relocate to Port Sudan. Hemedti's diplomatic efforts included visits to Uganda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and South Africa, where he discussed ending the conflict. Concurrently, a delegation from the Co-ordination of Civil Democratic Forces in Sudan, led by former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, met with Djibouti's President Ismail Omar Guelleh to discuss peace efforts. The article details the complex regional dynamics and the various stakeholders' positions in the ongoing Sudanese crisis.

Hemedti in charm offensive as Sudan peace bid stalls once again

29 Dec 2023  |  theeastafrican.co.ke
Mohamed Hamdan Daglo ‘Hemedti’, commander of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, made his first public trips abroad since the outbreak of war between the RSF and the Sudanese army, meeting with leaders in Uganda and Ethiopia to discuss peace and stability in Sudan. His actions are seen as a challenge to his rival Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, with both sides accused of brutality against civilians. The RSF has been indicted by Washington for war crimes. The ongoing war has resulted in 12,000 deaths, displacement of 7 million people, and ethnic killings in Darfur, with 1.4 million refugees in neighboring countries.

Sudan army chief Burhan renews opposition to Kenya's Ruto role

12 Dec 2023  |  theeastafrican.co.ke
Sudan's military government, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has protested to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), accusing it of inaccurately including proposals by Kenya's President William Ruto in a communique. The communique suggested that the Sudan Armed Forces (Saf) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to a ceasefire and dialogue, which the Sudanese junta disputes. Sudan also rejected the mention of UAE's Sheikh Shakboot bin Nahyan al Nayhan in the communique and declared 15 UAE diplomats persona non grata. The conflict between Saf and RSF has resulted in at least 12,000 deaths and 6.6 million displacements, with Igad attempting to consolidate peace offers.

Darfur holds Sudan back with threat of new violence

24 Jan 2021  |  Nation
Sudan, which recently had sanctions lifted by the US, is facing renewed violence in Darfur with at least 250 people killed and 3,500 displaced, according to UNHCR. Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's government is seeking peace solutions after a stabbing incident escalated into ethnic clashes. The transitional government had been making peace efforts with rebels, and a peace deal was signed with most groups. However, the UNAMID peacekeeping force ended its operations last December, leading to concerns about a security vacuum. Amnesty International criticized the UN Security Council for allowing UNAMID's withdrawal and called for its mandate to be reinstated. The Darfur Bar Association described the recent violence as a criminal act, not ethnic cleansing. The conflict in Darfur has a long history, including the displacement of millions and accusations of war crimes against former President Omar al-Bashir. The current transitional government has struggled to implement a peace agreement fully and maintain security in the region.

Sudan Signs New Agreements with the US to Strengthen Economic Ties

07 Jan 2021  |  Nation
Sudan has entered into new agreements with the United States, marking a significant step in economic cooperation following the US's decision to delist Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism and restore its sovereign immunity. During US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's visit to Khartoum, Sudan signed a memorandum of understanding with the American Export-Import Bank. The MoU, signed by Sudan’s Finance Minister Hiba Muhammad Ali and the Bank's Chair Kimberly Reed, aims to support trade and development in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and healthcare. The agreement includes a $1 million partnership and will help Sudan secure an emergency loan and financing facilities worth $1.2 billion to clear arrears with the World Bank. This assistance is crucial for Sudan to engage in the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, potentially leading to significant annual support for infrastructure projects. Additionally, Sudan signed the Ibrahim Accords to promote regional peace and tolerance.
