Aljazeera published on 29 September 2023 an article titled "Analysis: Can Sudan's Civilian Leaders Save Their Country from Collapse?" by Elfadil Ibrahim.
Following the outbreak of conflict between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), civilian groups have taken sides. The Democratic Bloc, an offshoot of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), has sided with the SAF.

These and other divisions among Sudanese civilian leaders raise questions about their ability to assume leadership positions should they be given the opportunity.
