If the Sudanese Government can push the RSF out or take an advantage, there is a real risk rebels will flood west into Chad and destabilize what is currently the only relatively secure country in the Sahel.

The conflict should be viewed in the regional context as much as National. Arab and Islamic malitias have been taking power or leading rebellions across the Sahel, notably the coup belt to the west. Burkina Faso is a center of Islamic terrorism, but the entire region has become a hub. To the North the Lybian civil war, while not as strongly ethnic in context, does have a relevant religious element. Even to the North Egypt has been dealing with Muslem brotherhood rebel groups in Sinai, and of course the Gaza conflict rages on its border. Its easy to condem the military government of Egypt, but important to consider what a democratically elected islamic government could mean for the region. The South Sudan conflict isn't long in the past, and the Potential for south Sudan to be included in the conflict is very real. And Ethiopia to the south is teetering on civil war, with Eritrea likely to be pulled in. And further south of South Sudan, Rwanda ans Uganda are brewing conflict with the Congo. The RSF, along with Lybian mercenaries fought in Yemen under UAE employ, where they were improved in caliber. The UAEs context in pushing these Arab militias should not be understated, nor should Russias role under the Wagner banner in destabilizing the region to access cheap mineral wealth. Africa is at risk of seeing war from The Congo to the Mediterranean and the Rea sea to the Atlantic. And Sudan is at the Center.

 @agitador UAE and Arab Colonialism perhaps, the Sudan was an Egyptian/Ottoman Colony long before Europeans knew you couldn't sail west to Asia

@mohammedahmed1109 Don't be absurd as though the Ottomans hadn't colonized most of North Africa long Before Europeans were sailing or Islam wasn't spread to the region through war and displacement a thousand years ago.

This war could be effectively ended by ending the Lybian civial war. This is mot the industrial war of Russia and Ukraine or Irans and Isreal. This is people in pick up trucks with small arms. If the Supply routes for fuel and arms can be cut, the war ends.

that's a pretty gross exaggeration, Islam plays no Part in Ukraine and Russia or the Koreas or Taiwan. Generally the actual religion plays little role in conflicts in the middle east/North Africa as well, but because of porous and somewhat randomly drawn boarders the name of islam is used as a unifying flag for the arab population.

@skp8748 I don't think its correct to call it a full scale civil war, I would agree its a localized insurgency, amd along witht the Tigray militias what I am referring to by teetering. But if this constitutes a civil war, than Egypt should be said to be in Civil war due to the insurgency in the Sinia, ans I don't think most would agree that Egypt is in civil war. edit: also, when you say for 5 years, you're encompassing two conflicts, which while related, effect different regions and involved differing groups, with Fano backing the government in the Tigray war. But regardless, it doesn't really undermine my point on the stTe of the region.

 @injest1928 While you're correct, particularly in North Africa where Arab and Black african comminies intersect, Islam itself is regularly used as a reason to dehumanize others.

@eca3101 ya it shouldn't be read seriously it ends in "greater Egyptian Military Imperium" lol

@AL-lh2ht Arab nationalism and Russian access to cheap gold is a key element to both Sudan and the Sahel coups. I agree the Sudan is an independent conflict, but much like in Mali where the Tuareg separatists were originally trained and operated out of Lybia, the RSF has been heavily impacted by ongoing Lybian civial war as mercenaries. Both conflicts should be seens as the result of the collapse of the Lybian state. The RSF also includes a large number of foreign Tuareg mercenaries from Niger and Mali, as well as Chad and South Sudan. The people in reference are traditionally nomadic and don't necessarily see borders as meaningful. A collapse of the RSF will see these groups returning to other sahel countries where they will likely increase seperatist or rebel activity as they did with the collapses of Lybia.

@AL-lh2ht My apologies, I don't think I understand you civil war comment.

I'm waiting for the Economic and political situation in Egypt to become unstable enough that Egypt either revolts to Muslim brotherhood rule, and launches out on Jihad supporting Hamas to the North, the RSF to the south, the GNA in Lybia to the West and the many islamic groups in the Sahel or the Muslim brotherhood related pressure causes the military to support secular military dictatorships across the same countries and weaken Islamic influence while using the conflict to relave national tensions. In either case if egypt enters Sudan, I wouldn't be suprised to see it backing rebel groups in Ethiopia to ensure control over the length of the Nile. I look forward to the Greater Egyptian Military Imperium and seeing the majority of the Sahara and Sahel under a single entity.

 @aamiradam5879 This is correct, the issue in North Africa is Arab nationalism under the guise of islam

@nisrmasry2134 unlike you and your whataboutism, I wasn't comparing anything, I was talking about Sudan. And frankly the only only difference here is Arab expansion didn't spread new diseases.
