The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Despite the continued outcries of international aid groups, the world has done little to bring Sudan's crisis to an end. Both warring sides have faced little public criticism for human rights violations and the UN Security Council took nearly a year to call for a cease-fire. The international community must wake up and take responsibility for this crisis.
Pro-establishment narrative
The international community remains steadfast in its commitment to help Sudan. Without an end to the ongoing conflict, the security of the entirety of East Africa may be at stake. International support and aid must continue to be encouraged as the UN and its mediation teams remain set on securing a sustainable and peaceful future for the region.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that South Sudan will no longer be classified as being in a state of civil war by July 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
