On April 15, 2023, the power struggle between the two military establishments turned into a deadly civil war in Khartoum and other major cities. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) compete for power.
The current crisis in Sudan can be dated back to 2019, when RSF, with the help of the army, overthrew Omar al-Bashir’s government after a series of nationwide protests. Soon after the coup, RSF started stationing itself in the country’s capital despite assuring democratic elections to the political factions of the country. Eventually, the two main actors of the 2019 coup, the army, and the RSF, turned on each other to capture power.
