14. Back to Khartoum: Turning point for Sudan's civil war?Вт, 25 мар[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | Nearly two years on, it’s back to Khartoum for Sudan’s civil war. The forces of junta leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan are ousting those of ally-turned-foe Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo from key points. The leader of the RSF militia can instead point to gains in North Darfur province. We ask why we're seeing these shifting alliances that are redrawing the frontline, whether it’s a turning point and whether there's any light at the end of the tunnel for the 12 million people displaced by a fratricide conflict that follows the interruption by coups of a revolution that strived to bring democracy to Sudan after decades of strongman rule.
