Aljazeera Discussion of Almost Hopeless Situation in Sudan

 Aljazeera's Inside Story posted on 21 December 2024 a 27-minute video titled "Is the US Willing to Take Action against Foreign Powers Fuelling the Sudan War?' with Alex de Waal, World Peace Foundation, Dalia Abdelmoniem, Sudanese political analyst, and Khalood Khair, Confluence Advisory.  

The panel concluded that both the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but especially the RSF, are engaging in war crimes.  The United Nations and African Union efforts to end the civil war have failed dismally.  Russia and the UAE have played especially unhelpful roles.  There is little hope for a diplomatic solution, and it is too late for the Biden administration to make a difference.
