The International Crisis Group posted on 25 April 2025 a 25-minute podcast titled "Any Hope Left for Diplomacy in Sudan?" with Alan Boswell and Abdul Mohammed, long time follower of Sudanese issues.
The war in Sudan is effectively eliminating the concept of a Sudanese state. Sudan has been at war with itself since independence. Western Sudan is becoming integrated into the Sahel region and eastern Sudan is part of the Horn of Africa. One cannot rule out partition of the country.
What is needed now is a full-time mediation effort led by the African Union with complete bilateral and multilateral support. Sudan can be pieced together again because most Sudanese people want unity.
