Sudanese army

The Sudanese army is one of the primary belligerents in the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which began in 2023. The conflict, primarily between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to a humanitarian crisis, with over nine million people internally displaced. The army's actions, along with the RSF, are newsworthy due to the immense suffering inflicted on the civilian population, including school closures and a reshaping of social norms as women are forced into manual labor to survive. Recent developments include the US considering wider sanctions on both the Sudanese army and the RSF due to the failure of ceasefire efforts. The conflict's continued instability and its devastating impact on Sudanese civilians make the Sudanese army a highly relevant and significant entity in the current global context.
