HSBA Reference Portfolio: Sudan Actors, Groups, and Events Post-April 2023
On 15 April 2023, war broke out between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Since the fall of Omar al-Bashir in 2019, SAF and the RSF co-governed through an intricate power-sharing deal that included other armed groups and, importantly, civilians representing the pro-democracy movement in Sudan. The confrontation between SAF and the RSF unravelled the wins of the 2018 revolution and the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement, which was meant to usher in a period of tranquillity and address economic and political marginalization.
