Sudan Is in Free Fall

The New York Times published on 6 November 2025 a commentary titled "Sudan Is in Free Fall" by Eric A. Friedman, Suad Abdel Aziz, and John Prendergast. 

The most catastrophic phase of the conflict in Sudan is occurring in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur recently captured by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).  The most immediate step required to dial back the violence is for the UAE to stop supplying arms and support to the RSF.
