Sudan's RSF Faces Setback Amid Government Denials, Humanitarian Crisis Rises

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan announced plans to form a breakaway government two years into a civil war, which has caused significant humanitarian crises, leading to the UN's appeal for $6 billion in aid. However, confusion arose when a press conference intended to disclose details about this new government was canceled at the last minute, highlighting internal divisions within the RSF and complications in their political roadmap. Concurrently, the Sudanese government has amended the transitional constitution to strengthen military control, effectively sidelining civilian governance and the RSF. As fighting intensifies in Khartoum, civilians face dire consequences, with both the army and RSF resorting to brutal tactics that exacerbate the humanitarian situation. Reports indicate that tens of thousands have died and over 12 million have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict. The army's recent gains have shifted perceptions, with some civilians viewing it as a liberator amidst the chaos.
