The civil war in Sudan
The civil war in Sudan is entering its 16th month, with the United Nations estimating more than 15,000 people killed and 11 million displaced due to the ongoing hostilities.
The fighting erupted in Sudan's capital, Khartoum on April 15, 2023, after weeks of tensions between Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, the head of the Rapid Support Forces.
The two men jointly orchestrated a military coup in 2021 that ousted the military-civilian coalition put in place to transition power back to the civilian government after another wing of the military toppled longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
On July 7, a fresh round of talks started in Cairo, Egypt, between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces allies aimed at ending the conflict. The Cairo talks are the latest in a series of international peace initiatives, all of which failed to end the fighting.
Egypt, which backs the Sudanese Armed Forces, has been trying to make progress in closed-door discussions with the United Arab Emirates, which backs the Rapid Support Forces militia, accused of massacring women and children in Darfur.
With the latest peace negotiations in Egypt said to be slowing down, the Association of the Sudanese Abroad, a blue-checked X user blamed the U.S. for the talks’ fiasco.
’’US priorities shaped by UAE ties impede effective action on Sudan crisis. By overlooking UAE's hand in war extension, the U.S. fails to match its global speed.’’
That is misleading.
Since the war broke out on April 15, 2023, the United States has made unsuccessful attempts to mediate peace talks between the two sides.
The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, appealed to the United Arab Emirates and other countries on May 29, urging them to stop support for Sudan's warring parties.
Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield warned that al-Fashir, the capital city of North Darfur, Sudan, was "on the precipice of a large-scale massacre." #factcheck #voanews
