Since April 2023, a brutal war between Sudan's main military factions, SAF and RSF, has devastated the country, undermining hopes for democracy since the 2018 revolution. Previously united in oppression, these factions have turned against each other in a chaotic struggle for power. The SAF, trying to gain legitimacy, has been supported by various countries, while the RSF is backed by the UAE. Activists challenge the SAF's narrative of being the 'lesser evil,' and the situation is exacerbated by sanctions from the Biden administration and worsening humanitarian crises resulting from the conflict.
The ongoing war in Sudan should be seen as a counterrevolutionary effort aiming to suppress hopes for a democratic transition that arose from the 2018 revolution.
The SAF has positioned itself as the 'lesser evil' in the eyes of both national and international observers, despite being responsible for numerous war crimes.
