Sudan’s war has been so calamitous that some security experts are comparing it with Libya, which continues to run under two opposed governments, 10 years on.

While that could also be a false alarm because the warring factions sometimes show signs of suing for unity, only differing on the methodology, the difficulty in bringing the sides to embrace a ceasefire is a disturbing sign.
