After nearly two years of brutal civil war, Sudan’s army has recaptured the presidential palace from rival paramilitaries.
“This victory is a turning point as it redraws the battle lines, making the territorial divide starker than ever,” said CGHR Co-Director Sharath Srinivasan in a recent interview, which you can watch below.
But with large areas still controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), he agrees with many other experts that the fight is far from over, with neither side willing to back down.
Sharath is currently also co-organising a two-event conference on “Sudan’s universities: Remembering civic struggles, promoting peaceful futures”, in Nairobi (3 April) and Cairo (7 April), organised by British Institute in Eastern African, Rift Valley Institute, and CEDEJ-Khartoum and American University in Cairo.
