Abstract
This blog examines the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan by focusing on the roles of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), as well as the involvement of external actors. It explores how foreign support has contributed to the escalation and prolongation of the conflict, raising serious concerns about state responsibility under international law. Alongside this legal perspective, it emphasizes the importance of raising awareness and supporting Sudanese communities amid what has become a largely underreported humanitarian crisis.
Key words: Sudan, RSF, SAF, civil war, humanitarian crisis
