Podcast: A violent showdown between Sudan’s two most powerful leaders has brought a new level of instability to the region. On “Post Reports,” we look at how the country went from hopes of democracy just a few years ago to being on the cusp of civil war.
Smoke rises from burning aircraft inside Khartoum International Airport during clashes between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the army in Khartoum on April 17.
A battle between Sudan’s two most powerful leaders, one who controls the military, the other who controls a heavily armed paramilitary,, rocking the country’s capital and catching civilians, aid workers and international residents in the crossfire. “The scale of the violence and how quickly it broke out caught people by surprise,” Katharine Houreld, The Post’s East Africa bureau chief, tells “Post Reports.” “And that’s meant millions of people have been trapped not just in the capital, but in cities all over Sudan.”
Sudan is the third-largest country in Africa, home to 46 million people. For decades, it has faced an uphill battle in its quest for peace and democracy. n interim joint civilian-military government was formed, with the aim of transitioning to a democracy over time. But in the fall of 2021, the country’s military chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, took over the government in another coup, in an uncomfortable alliance with the paramilitary head, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
Now their infighting and escalating violence is raising worries that such volatility could spread throughout the horn of Africa.
