💥 100 Days in Sudan’s Power Struggle: When Mediation 🤝 Gets Ghosted 🙅♂️
TL;DR: After 100 days, the ongoing conflict in Sudan between the army and RSF remains unresolved. Over 3 million people displaced, major cities witnessing clashes, and international mediation? Yeah, that’s not working. 📉
So, here we are, day 💯 of the Sudan conflict. Battles are popping off in various parts of the country with the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) still duking it out for the top spot. It’s like the world’s most intense and tragic game of king of the hill. But where’s the endgame? 🎮
The start date? April 15. The damage? Over 3 million people looking for a new home, with 700,000 deciding they’re better off in neighbouring countries. 🌍
Deaths? Well, the health ministry puts it at 1,136, but some sneaky whispers suggest the real number’s higher. And the victor? No one, really. The RSF seems to be owning the streets of Khartoum, but the army’s pulling some major moves from the sky and showing off their artillery muscles. 💪
Khartoum? It’s chaos central. Government and infrastructure are more fragile than my aunt’s porcelain collection. And the drama doesn’t stop there – the conflict’s spilling over to Darfur and the south, with the rebel SPLM-N squad trying to secure some land for themselves. 🌏
Speaking of land grabs, the RSF tried to move into some villages in Gezira State, right below Khartoum, only to be welcomed by the army’s airstrikes. Not the neighborly greeting they expected, I bet. 🚀
And let’s chat about Nyala – it’s like one of the major cities in Sudan, and the capital of South Darfur. Things have been heated there since Thursday, with street fights breaking out in your average Joe’s backyard. Medical peeps say around 20 have died and the United Nations chirped in, stating 5,000 families need a new place to crash. As if that wasn’t enough, some locals are saying their key facilities got jacked. Looting in times of crisis? Really? 🏚️
Mediation? Pff, regional and international big shots tried to play peacekeeper. But, spoiler alert, it’s not working. The plot thickens, and one has to wonder, will this ever get resolved or are we watching a never-ending season of a real-life drama? 📺
Question for the Crowd: With such intense and prolonged conflict, what’s the next move for Sudan? And, how do we, as the global community, step in without stepping on toes? 🤔 Let’s chat, fam!
