How will this war end, or even pause, amid the constant clashes in El-Fasher and Kordofan? All attempts to stop the fighting and initiate humanitarian relief operations\u2014delivering aid to civilians trapped in areas seized or besieged by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)\u2014have failed, from the Jeddah talks weeks after the outbreak of the April 2023 war to the Geneva negotiations in August 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the involvement of states with significant global and regional influence, a solution remains distant as the fighting intensifies and spreads.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Saeed Salama, director of the Vision Center for Strategic Studies, says that international and regional powers are still far from reaching a common framework to resolve the Sudanese crisis. \u201cThese powers continue to view Sudan\u2019s conflict through the lens of their own interests, proposing solutions that serve those interests rather than those of the Sudanese people or their vision for peace,\u201d he explained. \u201cEven within the Quartet, there are disagreements over approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salama added, \u201cThe new U.S. vision for resolving the conflict in Sudan rests on two main pillars but has not evolved to reflect the realities on the ground. It focuses on the immediate cessation of hostilities and bringing the warring leaders to the negotiating table. While this may sound logical in theory, it faces major challenges on the ground\u2014most notably widespread public rejection of negotiations with the RSF, continued fighting, and the absence of consensus on how Sudanese parties should be represented in any future talks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cEven within the Quartet, there are divisions\u2014some members insist on including representatives of the army, while others oppose it. This hampers any serious dialogue under its auspices and weakens its influence, particularly given the public\u2019s skepticism about the UAE\u2019s role within the Quartet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Retired Major General Salah al-Din Khalid believes that the recent leaks about negotiations between the army and the militia are merely \u201ctrial balloons\u201d floated by certain forces seeking to fragment the resistance front currently fighting the militia that, as he put it, \u2018has burned the country.\u2019 \u201cIt is now difficult for any regional or international power to impose ready-made solutions on the Sudanese people after all they have endured at the hands of the militia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people will not accept the RSF\u2019s return to the political scene,\u201d Khalid added. \u201cAnyone negotiating on behalf of Sudan must keep that in mind. We support ending the war and opening humanitarian corridors\u2014but we reject any arrangement that brings the militia or its allies back into power. Such a settlement is unacceptable and will face popular outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on: \u201cThe people cannot be ignored in any formula or negotiations that may emerge. Nor can we overlook battlefield developments, as the army and allied forces are currently expanding their control in Kordofan and Darfur. These advances will directly affect any future talks. The issue is not confined to the visions of international or regional actors\u2014there is a people who have paid the price of this war, and there are military developments that carry real political weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Security and strategic expert Madani al-Harith agrees that the equation for resolving Sudan\u2019s crisis is complex. \u201cSome believe the matter will be decided militarily\u2014and indeed, the army is advancing on the ground,\u201d he said. \u201cOthers argue that even after achieving victory, the army will need to reach understandings with active political and social forces to establish a reasonable framework for completing the transitional period and forming the judicial bodies that will oversee elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe army is advancing and asserting its vision on the ground. The equation is clear: the military victories now being achieved must translate into political and diplomatic ones. I believe Sudan\u2019s leadership is currently preparing for the next phase\u2014moving ahead with eliminating the militia and its allies, liberating Sudanese territory, and building regional and international relations that serve Sudan\u2019s urgent priorities, foremost among them reconstruction and state-building. This will require broad political and social consensus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sudan Events \u2013 Agencies Amid conflicting leaks and the raging battles in Kordofan, between the sterile meetings held here and there and the heated public sentiment in the streets, Sudan\u2019s reality appears increasingly complex\u2014and grows more so by the day.
