The Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies posted on 17 April 2026 an eight-minute video analysis titled "The Sudanese Civil War, Three Years On" by Michael Jones.
After three years of conflict the Sudan civil war has reached a political and military dynamic stalemate. Diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire have achieved little progress. The war is sustained by foreign powers, especially the Arab Gulf states. The conflict threatens to become a regional war.
