100 days of fighting in Sudan and no peace in sight: What to know

Al Jazeera  

After a flurry of diplomatic activities, the warring parties seem far from engaging in any meaningful negotiations. Unlike the Jeddah talks, the AU summit was attended by members of a civilian coalition that shared power with the military before General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as “Hemedti”, orchestrated a coup in 2021 ending the country’s fragile transition towards democracy. Instead, the Sudanese army welcomed a summit held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on July 13, chaired by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, with whom Sudan’s top general al-Burhan enjoys long-lasting ties. “There is an egregious failure of diplomacy here, we see too much competition and too little cooperation,” said Alan Boswell, International Crisis Group’s project coordinator for the Horn of Africa. “Neither side has the legitimacy to rule Sudan, but you can’t whisk them away either,” said Boswell.
