Africa Daily - What impact is Sudan’s war having on neighbouring countries?
Download What impact is Sudan’s war having on neighbouring countries?
Yesterday, Africa Daily heard from two Sudanese men about how a year of war has forever changed their lives.
But the impact is also being felt beyond Sudan’s borders: South Sudan’s oil industry – its main income generator – has been heavily impacted because routes to the coast for export have been cut off. Chad and South Sudan are hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees each. And in border areas, armed groups have been growing more active and refugees report extortion, brutal attacks and murder.
In response, many regional leaders have attempted to bring the leaders of the two warring parties together for talks: military chief General Abdel-Fattah Burhan and General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, the commander of Rapid Support Forces, who is more commonly known as Hemedti. But mistakes and perceived insults mean little has been achieved from their efforts.
So can African countries do anything to stop the conflict?
