This episode of Al Jazeera's 'The Take' examines the persistent conflict in Sudan, now entering its third year of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The analysis highlights the devastating humanitarian consequences, including millions of displaced persons and ongoing famine conditions. Political analyst Dallia Abdelmoniem discusses the external powers and internal dynamics that continue to fuel the violence, preventing a resolution. The report also contextualizes the crisis within broader geopolitical tensions, noting how the concurrent US-Israeli war on Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have exacerbated local challenges by driving up fuel and food costs. By exploring who benefits from the prolonged instability, the episode seeks to understand what conditions might finally bring an end to the hostilities. It provides a critical look at the intersection of local military ambitions and international geopolitical shifts, offering insights into why diplomatic efforts have thus far failed to stop the bloodshed and suffering in the region.
