Sudan cancels port deal with UAE in subtle protest at Abu Dhabi
Sudan has canceled a port development deal with the UAE, citing sovereignty concerns and alleged UAE support for the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group in conflict with Sudanese government forces. The decision reflects a shift in Sudan's foreign policy, aiming to reduce UAE influence and assert national autonomy. Residents of Port Sudan have welcomed the move, hoping for local infrastructure development. The cancellation occurs amid Sudan's humanitarian crisis, with significant displacement and economic challenges. The decision also impacts regional dynamics, involving powers like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, as Sudan navigates international influences.
Sudan warlord accuses Egypt of targeting RSF troops
Lt-Gen Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), accused Egypt of launching airstrikes against his forces, implicating Cairo in the ongoing conflict with the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). Egypt denied these claims, asserting its commitment to ending the war and supporting humanitarian efforts. The conflict, which began in April 2023, has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with over 11 million people affected. Despite international mediation efforts, including those by the US and UN, a ceasefire remains elusive. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen, with severe shortages of medical supplies and widespread hunger. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's visit to Eritrea highlights regional diplomatic efforts to address the conflict and promote stability in the Horn of Africa.
How identity question is fueling Sudan war
The ongoing conflict in Sudan is significantly driven by identity issues, with tribal alignments and ethnic disputes playing a crucial role in shaping the war's trajectory. These identity questions are at the heart of the violence tearing the country apart.
US targets key RSF leader with new sanctions over Sudan war
The United States has imposed new sanctions on Algoney Hamdan Dagalo Musa, a senior leader of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for his role in facilitating the acquisition of weapons used in attacks against civilians. The sanctions aim to increase accountability and end the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has seen serious human rights violations, including war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Despite international efforts, including those by the UN and African Union, to restore peace, the conflict persists. The US and its allies have been imposing sanctions on RSF and Sudan Armed Forces leaders, but these measures have yet to yield significant results in curbing the violence.
The sabotage of the economy
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
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
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.
‘Technical reasons’ stall planned Burhan-Hemedti meeting on Sudan
A planned meeting in Djibouti between Sudan Transitional Sovereignty Council leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo Hemedti was postponed due to 'technical reasons' cited by Hemedti. The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) had scheduled the meeting to address the conflict in Sudan, but it has been rescheduled for January 3, 2024. The Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed regret over the delay, blaming the Rapid Support Forces. The conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces began in April, and external pressure, including from the US, is pushing for a ceasefire. The war has resulted in at least 300,000 new internally displaced persons in al-Jezira state, according to UN agencies.
