The Rift Valley Institute published in June 2023 a study titled "Sudan Conflict: Assessing the Risk of Regionalization."
The paper looks at the potential for a regionalization of the conflict between the Sudan Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, including external involvement by Sugan's neighbors and cross-border spillover. Until now, most regional states are hedging their bets and pushing for greater regional engagement in mediation efforts and an eventual peace negotiation.
