Brookings published on 12 November 2025 a commentary titled "Sudan's Deadly Divide: The RSF and SAF's Reign of Terror" by Jeffrey Feltman, former US special envoy for the Horn of Africa.
Referring to the Sudan Armed Forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces conflict as "fratricide," the author has disdain for both belligerents. If the Trump administration hopes to achieve a cease fire, it needs to shift Sudan to a higher priority on Washington's already crowded agenda, including direct intervention by President Trump.
