Freedom in the World 2026 - Sudan (Periodischer Bericht, Englisch)

• In April 2023, hostilities broke out between the regular Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group originally formed by al-Bashir, and the fighting quickly spread across the country. […] . == []Key Developments in 2025 == * The conflict between the SAF, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, continued throughout the year, killing more than 17,000 people between January and early December. […] That November, al-Burhan reconstituted the Sovereign Council with himself as chair; Hamdok was subsequently reinstated as prime minister after signing an agreement with al-Burhan that provided for the release of political detainees, a new technocratic government, and the restructuring of the Empowerment Removal Committee (ERC). […] In April, disputes between al-Burhan and RSF leader Hemedti over the integration of the RSF into the SAF sparked armed clashes in Khartoum as the two commanders vied for control. The fighting escalated into the broader civil conflict that continued throughout 2025. In May 2025, al-Burhan appointed legal expert Kamil Idris to serve as Sudan’s first prime minister since Hamdok’s resignation. […] Following the October 2021 coup, al-Burhan dissolved all trade unions and professional associations. Multiple union and association leaders were detained and assaulted during the anticoup protests that continued into 2023.

The devastating conflict where both sides have reasons to keep fighting (Medienbericht, Englisch)

• Almost a year ago I saw Khartoum for myself - driving carefully around unexploded munitions on the tarmac, touring the wrecked passenger halls in the airport's terminal, just days after Sudan's army recaptured it from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). […] Bashir had empowered Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, to run the RSF as a praetorian guard to protect him against possible challenges from within the army. Following Bashir's departure, tensions between Hemedti and the army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan erupted into wider violence. […] Hemedti, a camel trader turned successful businessman, accrued much wealth from his position as head of a powerful paramilitary force. But as someone from the western Darfur region, he positioned himself as the champion of the disgruntled and of deprived areas beyond the capital.

As Tensions Mount, Sudan Accuses Ethiopia of New Hostilities (Appell oder Pressemitteilung, Englisch)

• The latest spat comes on the back of months of complaints aired in private by Sudanese intelligence and security officials over the alleged construction of a new training base for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has been fighting Sudan’s army since 2023, in Ethiopia’s north west. […] General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s de facto ruler, has forged security alliances with Egypt and Eritrea, both fierce regional adversaries of Ethiopia. Burhan has also sided with Egypt in its dispute with Addis Ababa over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile, whereas Sudan previously tried to temper disputes between the two.
