Beyond Geopolitics: How Sudan’s Fragile Peace is Entangled in a Shifting Global Order

The pursuit of peace in Sudan is now inextricably linked to a regressive global shift where raw power, geopolitics, and resource competition have supplanted commitments to democracy, sovereignty, and human rights.
