International IDEA invites you to a virtual panel discussion to address crucial questions related to the armed conflict in Sudan, on the 1st of August, 18:30 (GTM +2, Sudan Time). The panel discussion will focus on the priorities for each of the relevant actors in Sudan or outside Sudan to ensure an end to the armed conflict and a return to a democratic process and pathway in Sudan.
On April 15th, 2023, tensions between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF)and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) turned into fighting, escalating into a severe armed conflict that has engulfed the country in what risks turning into a large-scale civil war. The warring factions took power together through a military coup on October 25th, 2021, which upended a fragile democratic transition that started after the removal of long-time ruler Omar Al-Bashir.
Sudan is one of the most diverse countries. A country with more than 70 spoken languages and more than 500 ethnic tribes with diverse cultures and social interests. This diversity has plagued the country with never-ending conflicts. A careful analysis of the determinants of civil wars and fragile democracy in Sudan attempts to point to a more complex picture in the country.
