Ongoing armed conflict in Sudan Root Cause

The ongoing armed conflict in Sudan, which erupted in 2023, is a complex interplay of political, ethnic, and economic tensions. The epicenters of this conflict are the capital city, Khartoum, and the Darfur region. The struggle for power and control over resources has fueled the conflict, leading to numerous casualties and widespread displacement of people.
