Sudan’s Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, has sent an urgent request to Cairo seeking military aid to lift the siege imposed by the Rapid Support Forces on his powers since mid-April. The collapse of the army could lead to dire consequences for Egypt, including an influx of refugees and displaced persons and a long civil war that could threaten Egypt’s national security.
The situation in Sudan is complex, with armed movements, militias, mercenaries, and citizens all vying for power. Military intervention could complicate matters further. However, there is a scenario that can at least end the conflict and restore civilian rule while giving both sides something they want.
According to the American magazine “Foreign Affairs,” this scenario requires courage and wisdom from leaders in Cairo. It involves finding a solution that satisfies both sides while avoiding further violence and instability in the region.
The stakes are high for Sudan and its neighbors. The country has been in turmoil since the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The current crisis threatens to plunge it into further chaos and division.
As an international community, we must pay attention to what is happening in Sudan. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to this crisis. We must support efforts towards peace and stability in the region.
In conclusion, Al-Burhan’s request for help from Cairo highlights the urgent need for action in Sudan. The situation is complex, but there are solutions that can end the conflict and restore civilian rule. It is up to leaders in Cairo and beyond to find these solutions before it is too late.
