Hemedti’s Gold Business Contributes to National Division

Sudan is experiencing a devastating conflict primarily between the national army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), who has gained power through gold wealth and foreign support. Since fighting began on April 15, 2023, Hemedti’s forces have captured key territories, raising the specter of Sudan’s disintegration. International responses remain ambivalent, failing to clearly identify aggressors or support the army as a stabilizing force. The future of Sudan hinges on the resilience of its people against both internal and external threats to its unity and resources.
