'Not a proxy war': Sudan civil war 'would not go on like this' without role of international players

Gavin Lee is pleased to welcome Jan Pospisil, Sudan Affairs Analyst at the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform. He says the siege has been going on for almost a year, and the RSF seems committed to seizing el-Obeid. While Pospisil explains that Sudan's civil war is not a proxy war in the literal sense, he does make clear that "without international support, the war would not go on like this'". And yet none of the international actors, whether it be the UAE, supplying arms to the RSF, or the US or even Saudi Arabia, none have the "leverage" to lead the warring parties to a ceasefire, let alone a deal. #SUDAN #RSF #UAE 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
