There was definitely a thread for this last year, but it seems to be inactive for months.
Starting on April 2023, there has been a civil war in Sudan, which started when the country's paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces launched an attack in the county's capital Khartoum against the Sudanese Armed Forces. The political origins of this conflict (power struggle between the two groups, overthrow of the previous president etc.) are something that I don't quite understand. What I do know is that this war has caused massive loss of life and damages across the country, including what's likely the worst famine in the 21st century.
This conflict has been undertalked in most media across the world, which is less than ideal considering both the fact that this war is almost certainly the deadliest "hot" conflict on the planet, and the involvement of different countries in the war, each for their own geopolitical reasons. While there have been negotiations conducted by the warring parties and their intermediaries to end the war, it doesn't seem like the war will end anytime soon. What say you, NSG?
My opinion is that the SAF, as terrible as they are, does seem to undoubtedly be the lesser of two evils for Sudan. The RSF is documented as having comitted far more crimes against the civilian population, happening across pretty much every region they take control. And then there's the matter of a paramilitary force like them existing to begin with, which is never a good sign for any country, but we can now see the worst case scenario on display to the world.
