Sudanese army

The Sudanese army is the national military force of Sudan, currently engaged in a prolonged and brutal conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This war, now entering its fourth year, is newsworthy due to its catastrophic humanitarian consequences, regional spillover, and the lack of a decisive victory for either side. Recent events include escalating drone warfare, with hundreds of civilian deaths reported, and accusations of ethnic targeting and potential genocide against the RSF. The conflict has also crossed borders, with drone attacks launched from Sudan killing civilians in Chad, prompting threats of retaliation. The army's actions and the overall war are relevant due to the immense suffering of the Sudanese people, the displacement of millions, and the potential for further regional destabilization, prompting international efforts for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid.
