Sudan’s civil war, ongoing for three years, involves the army battling the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for control, resulting in over 9.5 million displaced and widespread starvation. The army controls much of the north and east, including Khartoum, while the RSF dominates Darfur. Despite abundant resources like oil and gold, conflict hampers their management, impacting Sudan’s economy and agricultural output. Key exports include crude oil, gold, and agricultural products, with significant external trade ties, particularly to the UAE.
