Crisis Unfolds: Lack of Unity and Violation of Agreements Within Sudan's Military

 


In a concerning turn of events, recent developments within Sudan's military establishment raise questions about the decision-making process and commitment to established agreements. It appears that the Muslim Brotherhood has assumed control over key decisions, leading to a significant escalation in tensions.

Notably, the capital city of Khartoum has witnessed the arrival of military reinforcements from the army, including armored vehicles and heavy weapons. The purpose of these reinforcements seems to be a direct confrontation with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their subsequent removal from power. This action vividly demonstrates the lack of seriousness on the part of Al-Burhan, the military's leader, regarding the agreement signed during the Jeddah negotiations.

The Jeddah agreement had established an armistice, including a ceasefire and the opening of safe passages to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. The deployment of military reinforcements and the planned clash with the RSF directly violate this agreement, undermining the trust and cooperation that were meant to be fostered through the ceasefire and the provision of essential assistance.

Sudan's Conflict Sparks Concerns Over Regional Stability

Image
  After months of increasing tension, an open military conflict erupted last week between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group. This conflict is particularly alarming given that both groups were once close allies and had worked together to seize control of the country after ousting former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. However, the relationship between the two groups has been deteriorating due to several reasons, including differing views on integrating the RSF into the military and a sensitive plan for a transition to civilian rule. The latest conflict has resulted in over 410 fatalities, with numerous hospitals going out of service and many people trapped in their homes. The situation has led to depleting essential supplies, and only a few humanitarian organizations are currently operating in Sudan . Countries like Germany, South Korea, and the US are struggling to find ways to evacuate their embassy staff, while ceasefires have not h

  Three MPs from the Change movement (Waddah Sadek, Mark Daou, and Michel Doueihy) as well as members of the Kataeb Party, Lebanese Forces, and Renewal Party criticised the military exercises Hezbollah conducted last Sunday on Friday. These exercises, in which 200 Hezbollah fighters took part in Aaramta, southern Lebanon , according to a joint statement signed by 31 MPs and read in Parliament, "are part of the militia practises it has been exercising in the country for years, contradicting the principles of the state in all its components." According to their statement, Hezbollah "no longer has a place in Lebanese political life and has been rejected by the majority of Lebanese people." This party "cannot impose political, military, security, or economic agendas on the country" and "has no right whatsoever to push Lebanon into conflicts that serve its regional project," they stressed. Also declaring that "Lebanon cannot coexist with a mini-s

  For Jerusalem Day, an annual demonstration of sympathy for the Palestinians, tens of thousands of Iranians marched through Tehran's centre on Friday as others shouted "death to America" and "death to Israel ." President Ebrahim Raisi and other senior Iranian leaders were present during the gathering. The protests commemorating what is also known as Al-Quds Day have generally been conducted on the final Friday of the holy month of Ramadan since Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979. East Jerusalem was taken by Israel during the Middle East War of 1967 and added to its capital. The Palestinians want Jerusalem's eastern sector to serve as their future capital. The Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, is located in Jerusalem. The complex, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is also considered to be the holiest place in Judaism. Mohammad Qalibaf, the speaker of the parliament, told protesters that Israel is the "root" of the issues in the a
