The civil war in Sudan: nature, geopolitical status and regional impact
Prunier, Gérard
The civil war in Sudan: nature, geopolitical status and regional impact - 2025.
69
On April 15, 2023, the political troubles that agitated Sudan since the “Marshal” Omar el-Bechir was overthrown on 11 April 2019 changed radically in nature when the two main forces that made up the National Transition Government – the regular army and the auxiliary militia of this same army –, engaged in a direct and large-scale armed confrontation. This “civil” war has already entered an international dimension.We touch here on the nature of current “de-ideologized” wars. The structuring of real events, including conflicts, is rooted in power relations where the private economic domain tends to prevail, with large emotional representations (internalized hyper-nationalism, hypostatic religion) and historical causalities are all the more powerful as they are felt rather than reasoned. The Sudanese civil war, like most contemporary conflicts, is a perfect illustration.
