The situation in Sudan is a complex conflict with both sides fighting for control of the country. The defection of a key RSF commander to government forces suggests internal divisions within the paramilitary group. The Sudanese army's strategy of "choking out" RSF forces in key cities may be yielding results, potentially shifting the balance of power in the ongoing war.
