Why Sudan’s Return to Civilian Rule Can’t be a Short-Term Project

The rivalry between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which helped overthrow Sudan’s civilian administration in October 2021, derives from the two sides’ disagreements on how to begin a new internationally backed transition with civilian groups. In early April 2023, a final agreement was supposed to be signed to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the fall of long-reigning despot Omar al-Bashir by a popular revolt. The arrangement called for the army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF deputy General, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemedti) to transfer control. Two issues, however, stood out as being very divisive: the first was the precise date the army would be fully placed under civilian control; the second was the timeline for the RSF’s integration into the regular armed forces.- Comments Off on Why Sudan’s Return to Civilian Rule Can’t be a Short-Term Project
