Khartoum: The fight turns more cholic as each day passes by

 

With the two factions of the army and the RSF becoming greed over to hold on power, the situation is becoming more cholic by the passing of each day. Although both the rivals claim more rights to have the power to make Sudan a democratic nation and run by a democratically elected government neither of the them the Army Chief or the RSF Leader have seemed to agree onto whom to handover the military to when Sudan turns into a democracy and this the reason why both of them are eyeing for the top most army chief position. As the fight continues into the fourth week with hundreds of civilians dead and thousands fleeing the capital Khartoum to places of safety, the UN has already warned that the fight could engulf the entire region of Sudan. Foreign nationals are in the process of evacuation of their nationals by ship, boats and flights. If the fight continues and spreads to other areas Sudan can look like a graveyard by the end of the fight.

A window for negotiation has still not materialized an offer made by South Sudan. Although efforts to deescalate the situation before it can spread is futile. Going by the past Sudan has the history of being run by the former army chief for thirty years, who was overthrown by the now two erring army chiefs by a major civilian uprising and the chiefs promising the people a return to democracy at the time of assuming power in 2019. In 2021 army chiefs disagreed with the one assuming as the army chief and the other as the RSF chief with own interests to grab power. The current situation broke out when the people started losing faith in either of them as two separate groups trying to gain supremacy.

What started as a spark has taken more than thousand lives and millions starved out of electricity, water and food. The people fearing for their lives prefer to stay in their homes in Khartoum where the fight began. The current situation has worsened since it started with no end in sight with both erring sides trying to legitimise their actions to stay in power. The situation can worsen to millions more Sudan nationals and foreigners trying to leave the country in the coming months if the fight continues.
