Sudan's army and RSF are doing battle, leaving dozens of civilians dead
NPR Online NewsAPR 2023
Just as negotiations seemed to be progressing, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and now Russia are throwing increasing support behind the RSF. These countries desire access to Sudan's gold, which is why they claim to want peace while, at the same time, boosting the military capacity of the rebel forces who control precious metals. The West must continue its pursuit of re-integrating the RSF into the Sudanese government so this bloody conflict comes to an end before any more lives are lost.
This conflict is not the fault of Middle Eastern states, nor is it the first near-civil war incident in recent years. The US has long sought access to Sudan's oil, which is why the Pentagon and the CIA have flooded the country with arms and instigated previously nonexistent ethnic conflict to destabilize the region. The US began meddling in Sudan's affairs 30 years ago — the nation was always destined to fail thanks to the Global American Empire.
