Sudan Civil War: A Systematic War on Civilians Amid Army-RSF Power Struggle

In an interview with France 24, political and media analyst Dallia Abdelmoniem provides a stark assessment of the ongoing crisis in Sudan. She characterizes the current situation not merely as a conflict between rival armed factions, specifically the national army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but as a systematic war targeting civilians. Abdelmoniem warns that the nation is unraveling in real time, where survival has become largely a matter of chance for ordinary citizens. The analysis highlights severe humanitarian consequences, including widespread displacement, starvation, and the total collapse of essential services such as education and healthcare. Despite describing Sudan's plight as a forgotten and ignored crisis by the international community, the discussion also acknowledges the resilience of grassroots networks. These ordinary Sudanese communities have stepped in to provide support where state institutions have failed. The report underscores the ruthless nature of the power struggle and its devastating impact on the civilian population, emphasizing the urgent need for attention to this unfolding humanitarian disaster.
