The Spin

The continued destruction of Khartoum by both the RSF and the SAF is a reminder of the wanton disregard by the country's elite for Sudan historical and cultural center. There must be hope that, in time, once the dust has settled and the conflict is over that a new generation of leadership will break through, seeking to unite rather than destroy the country's very foundations.

Despite the SAF's aggressive attempts to regain control of Sudan's capital, so far it seems that similarly to Sennar, Al-Jazeera, and Darfur, it seems so far as if no clear progress has been made. As both sides continue to claim victories and inflict losses upon one another, the conflict shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 48% chance that the RSF will win the Sudanese civil war, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
