Resolving the Sudan armed forces and rapid support sorces conflict in Sudan: Issues and challenges

Abstract

This paper sought to highlight and discuss the issues and challenges surrounding the resolution of the ongoing SAF and RSF conflict in Sudan. The preferred theoretical framework for the study is Power Theory (PT). Documentary research design which involves extensive search and extraction of data from extant records and documents is adopted for the methodology. The study relies on secondary data sourced from textbooks, scholarly journals, communiqué of international organizations, as well as other relevant literature from the internet. The findings reveal that demilitarization of the polity, containment of the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, management of foreign interest and their internal alignment, management of humanitarian challenges, and checkmating massive human rights' abuses are the issues and challenges surrounding the resolution of the conflict. It is therefore imperative for the Sudanese civil society sector to galvanize its members and work towards the resolution of these issues and challenges.
