SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Economist – Sudan’s revolution could end the conflict in Darfur

28/11/19: Economist – Sudan’s revolution could end the conflict in Darfur

 In an analysis of the prospects of resolving conflict in Sudan, the Economist call for Sudan to address its marginalisation of the peripheral regions, even if the ongoing peace talks are successful.

 The Economist note that the prospect of peace needs the support of Abdel Wahid al-Nur’s faction of the Sudanese Liberation Army.

 Meanwhile, Himedti is said to be unlikely to benefit from a peace agreement that might reduce the influence of the Rapid Support Forces, “which he has recently been expanding,” and could lead to scrutiny of his business interests—such as gold mines, “an industry that has fuelled the conflict.”
