Sudan’s warring factions are failing to agree on a ceasefire that could help delivery of aid and halt a mounting death toll, largely because they either think fighting is a good means to an end, or an insurance for income.
Experts, and sources from both camps; the Sudan Armed Forces (Saf) and the Rapid Support Forces, say the war that erupted on April 15 has helped the RSF maintain an illegal line of revenues that trickle down to support militias in far-flung regions. Stopping the war could mean breaking this bond between the RSF and those support militias.
