Since April 2023, Sudan has experienced armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) — the official military of the Republic of Sudan — and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an armed group formed in 2013, during the regime of the ousted president Omar al-Bashir. This conflict escalated dramatically when, in February 2024, the RSF seized control of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, and imposed a telecommunication blackout in the country. The telecommunication blackout deprived Sudanese people from...

By Shaun TANDON Washington (AFP) - Ne pas laisser deux guerres à Kamala Harris: six mois avant de quitter la Maison Blanche, Joe Biden s'implique "jour et nuit" pour mettre fin aux conflits à Gaza et au Soudan, avec l'espoir de redorer son blason en politique étrangère, selon des experts. Le président des Etats-Unis s'est joint jeudi au Qatar et à l'Egypte, les deux autres pays médiateurs dans le conflit qui a dévasté le territoire palestinien, pour presser Israël et le Hamas de reprendre le 15 août des discussions indirectes en vue d'un cessez-le-feu, car "le moment est venu". Sous pression d...

Washington (AFP) - With less than six months left in office, President Joe Biden and his team are going for bolder, higher-risk diplomacy on both Gaza and Sudan, seeking to make progress on intractable hotspots and -- just maybe -- burnish their legacy. Biden, in an unusually personal appeal, joined the leaders of Egypt and Qatar in not only urging Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire but setting a date -- Thursday -- for them to meet in the region. The approach mirrors a public call by Secretary of State Antony Blinken for the warring parties in Sudan to begin negotiations on Wednesday in Sw...

Washington (AFP) - The United States announced Tuesday that it had invited Sudan's warring sides to hold ceasefire talks in Switzerland next month. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington had invited Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to start US-mediated negotiations beginning on August 14. "The United States remains committed to working with partners to end this devastating war," Blinken said in a statement. The commander of the RSF, at war with the army for over a year, said he "welcomed" Blinken's invitation and that his side would join the negotiations....

If you thought activity would wind down with the beginning of the summer, well, you better think again. Election stunners in France and the United Kingdom provided totally different readings of people’s political mood. The political groups in the European Parliament kept struggling for partners and alliances ahead of their opening session in Strasbourg in less than two weeks. And Belgium handed the rotating EU presidency to longtime Brussels nemesis Hungary! The whims of the calendar had it that Viktor Orbán’s government is now in charge of the EU agenda - which is like the fox guarding the he...

From the pace of the European Union's action on Sudan, no one would imagine that the country’s Darfur region is burning once again. “Life has simply completely stopped in the city because of heavy fighting and shelling. People are hiding in their homes, scared. They cannot go out even to get necessities.” These are the words of a volunteer in Sudan’s north Darfur town of El Fasher, desperately trying to help civilians facing intense shelling, starvation and a communications shutdown hampering real-time reporting. Despite multiple warnings by the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, the EU respons...

Washington (AFP) - The United States on Friday announced another $315 million for hungry Sudanese as it pressed the warring sides to end obstruction of aid, warning that a famine of historic proportions could unfold without urgent action. The assistance will include food and drinking water, as well as malnutrition emergency screening and treatment for children. It comes as estimates say that five million people inside Sudan suffer extreme hunger, with food lacking also in neighboring countries where two million Sudanese have fled. "We need the world to wake up to the catastrophe happening bef...
