Political forces in Sudan have fractured over the international mediation effort aimed at ending the country's civil war, with significant divisions emerging regarding the Addis Ababa process.
While some civilian groups are actively participating in the talks to shape the political framework, other blocs have opted to boycott the proceedings, signaling deep mistrust in the current diplomatic track.
The split undermines the cohesion required for a unified political transition, complicating the efforts of the international quintet to broker a sustainable ceasefire and governance agreement.
This fragmentation reflects broader challenges in aligning disparate factions, many of whom have established parallel power structures during the conflict.
The diplomatic stalemate comes amid reports of sustained logistical support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) through networks in Libya, highlighting the external dimensions of the war.
As political negotiations stall, the risk of prolonged instability persists, with humanitarian conditions remaining dire and economic activity severely constrained.
