Where does the conflict in Sudan stand after eight months? | Inside Story

It's been more than eight months since the lives of millions of Sudanese were plunged into conflict.
The Rapid Support Forces, has gained momentum in recent weeks, consolidating its grip on the vast Darfur region and seizing new territory, including the second-largest city, Wad Madani.
It's been a major hub for people displaced from their homes.
Regional body IGAD - which has been trying to spearhead peace talks - said last week that had it secured a commitment from the rival sides to implement a ceasefire.
So how does this latest development change the dynamics of the conflict?

Sudanese people have consistently given refuge to those fleeing Ethiopia due to war and insecurity throughout decades. It pains me to see our brotherly sisterly people across the border going through this.

Sudan is at the mercy of foreign interferences,from both the west and east,and they become prey for these merciless foreign countries,each striving to ruin and plunder their resources.

This is all because of the greed if powerful countries. Praying for peace in Sudan.

[@gracefreshfoodsministries.9634]

When will you see that things are going on just as those above us have planned, irrespective of our religion? And still many of us stubbornly refuse to open our eyes and see the big trap we are being lured into because we are too comfortable with our foolish ignorance that gives us a false sense of peace of mind. Then finally when it brutally and fatally pains, then we cry out in vain. oh how pathetic we are.

[@adila2442]

Sudan is at war because of outside influence and greedy leaders. Foreign forces desire for further division of Sudan. Ethiopia is divided more because of internal tribal/ethnic issues. Ethiopia will be divided like Yugoslavia. At this rate the nations going to suffer while foreign nations will take everything.

[@cyrissam5445]

I'm african but I don't know why Sudanese are fighting . It seem like Sudanese can't just live together with harmony there is always war in that country and I'm asking myself why what do they fighting for. Decades ago there were a war between north and south they ended up split Sudan in 2 states there is no excuse why you guys can't live amongst your peoples, the world are tired of hearing another Sudanese war

[@m.khalid334]

you are very ignorant my friend, if you wish to know then seek knowledge. if you know nothing then do not speak

[@cyrissam5445]

@m.khalid334 Go cry to your mama you hate the facts, the country of Sudan has been divided 20 years everyone has a self determination. I don't see no country indaving your country . Why are you guys are fighting because of tribal issues I think Sudan would be the unstable even in 20 years time even the Sudan is moving on with their differences but you guys still fighting over some tribal warfare.
