Sudan’s war is spilling beyond its borders, as the Rapid Support Forces militia recruits fighters from South Sudan, pulling the conflict into a dangerous web of cross‑border militias and regional rivalries.

In an interview with Al-Estiklal, Sudanese politician Mohamed Abu Zeid warns that the RSF threatens Sudan and its neighbors Libya, Algeria, and Egypt, blasts the UAE for backing the militia, and calls for urgent international action as the humanitarian crisis deepens.

By the end of 2025, Sudan’s economy is a “survival economy,” where cash shortages, market collapse, and armed control make daily life a struggle.

After Syria’s liberation and the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024, Syrians stranded in Sudan suddenly find themselves facing a long-awaited possibility: going home.

Intense Emirati lobbying allegedly pushed the European Parliament to drop references to the UAE’s reported support for Sudan’s RSF militia, sparking controversy over foreign influence and accountability.
