Each time a crisis erupts\u2014whether in nearby regions or distant ones, like the Gulf states\u2014their conditions worsen and their suffering intensifies.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever wars break out in countries neighboring Sudan, the Sudanese are the first to bear the brunt. Millions of refugees pour across their borders. When South Sudan&#8217;s war erupted after its independence, the South Sudanese found no safer haven than returning to Sudan. The same happened during the Ethiopian-Eritrean war in the 1990s. It&#8217;s repeating now with Ethiopia\u2019s internal conflicts, and with disputes along Sudan\u2019s western borders with Chad and the Central African Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Every conflict in the region brings a double burden upon the Sudanese. When the most recent war broke out inside Sudan\u2014also due to foreign conspiracy\u2014the Sudanese paid the price through displacement, homelessness, and exile. They pay the cost twice: once for their own wars, and again for others\u2019 wars.<\/p>\n<p>(2)<br \/>\nNow, the Sudanese once again fear paying the price for the Gulf wars. They&#8217;ve done it before\u2014during the 1990s when Iraq invaded Kuwait. At the time, Sudan&#8217;s political stance displeased the Gulf countries, leading to sanctions, isolation, and the forced return of thousands of Sudanese. They paid the price for a war in which they had no stake.<\/p>\n<p>Today, with the raging conflict between Iran and Israel, the Sudanese fear they may again be collateral damage\u2014especially while their own country is already mired in a brutal war, funded in part by a Gulf nation. A war that has displaced millions. If a full-scale Gulf war erupts now, it will only worsen their misery and deepen Sudan\u2019s crisis.<\/p>\n<p>(3)<br \/>\nMore than 70% of Sudanese currently depend on remittances from relatives living in the Gulf. After the most recent Rapid Support Forces war, migration and asylum-seeking surged to unprecedented levels, with the number of migrants exceeding three million. In Egypt alone, there are now over three million Sudanese refugees and migrants.<\/p>\n<p>These individuals have lost their income sources entirely and now rely entirely on relatives working abroad\u2014especially in the Gulf. So, the outbreak of a major war there would severely impact the economic well-being of Sudanese communities abroad, who are already shouldering the burden of supporting both themselves and their families back home.<\/p>\n<p>According to World Bank data, remittances to Sudan reached about $1 billion in 2023. However, some local sources estimate they rose to $4 billion after the war began. These remittances are the lifeline of Sudan\u2019s economy. Any instability in the Gulf would weaken them\u2014or stop them altogether. That\u2019s a huge figure, reflecting the deep dependency on external support, and the fragility of internal resources.<\/p>\n<p>(4)<br \/>\nAny instability in the Gulf, especially in countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, would likely lead to:<\/p>\n<p>Suspension of financial remittances, worsening the foreign currency crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Reduction in job opportunities, followed by mass contract terminations and potential deportations.<\/p>\n<p>Increased pressure on Sudan\u2019s labor market, which is already incapable of absorbing returnees.<\/p>\n<p>Rising inflation and further devaluation of the Sudanese pound due to disrupted financial inflows.<\/p>\n<p>Disruption of supply chains through the Red Sea and Gulf, threatening access to fuel, medicine, and wheat.<\/p>\n<p>As the war escalates and potentially spreads within Gulf countries, sudden security decisions may target expatriate communities\u2014possibly leading to deportations or reductions in their numbers for national security reasons.<\/p>\n<p>(5)<br \/>\nPerhaps the most dangerous outcome would be a shift in international attention toward the Gulf war, redirecting humanitarian aid to the new conflict zones. This would make Sudan\u2019s crisis \u201csecondary\u201d in the eyes of the global community\u2014prolonging Sudan\u2019s war and deepening the suffering of its people.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the vast majority of Sudanese residents in the Gulf live in major cities\u2014putting them at direct risk if conflict reaches urban centers.<\/p>\n<p>(6)<br \/>\nUndoubtedly, we are living in a perilous and sensitive moment in our history. Any military escalation in the Gulf will not spare our country\u2014whether on the level of the state, the citizen, or the migrant. That\u2019s why many Sudanese view the confrontation between Iran and Israel not as a distant regional conflict, but as a direct threat to their safety and future.<\/p>\n<p>May God protect the Gulf and its people\u2026 and our people too.<br \/>\nAnd may He spare us the fallout of Zionist wars\u2026<br \/>\nWe are truly\u2026 not in need of more disasters.<\/p>\n<p>But the question now is: What should we do if this full-scale war breaks out in the Gulf\u2014as predicted by the \u201cworld peace man and war pioneer,\u201d U.S. President Trump, who announced it may happen within two weeks?<br \/>\nWhat should we do\u2014as a Sudanese state and people?<\/p>\n<p><strong>To be continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I See Adel Al-Baz (1) There\u2019s a popular Sudanese song performed by the artist Mohammed Al-Amin that says: \u201cInstead of one worry, now there are two.\u201d But the truth is, the Sudanese people now have millions of worries.
