Foreign Policy published on 24 April 2023 a commentary titled "Hemeti's Rise in Sudan Is a Threat to Regional Stability" by Yasir Zaidan, National University of Sudan.
The author argues that while Sudan has faced multiple civil wars before, this conflict is the most catastrophic because of its impact on civilians and state institutions. The author concludes this "is a fight between the remains of national state institutions against a tribal, corrupt militia."
Comment: This may become Sudan's most catastrophic conflict since independence, but one should not lose sight of the horrors of the long war against southern Sudan and the atrocities in Darfur.
