International law critical for resolving Sudan conflict, say analysts

The conflict in Sudan, driven by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, continues to escalate, leaving the country and its people in crisis. Analysts argue that international law provides the foundation for resolving this conflict and ensuring peace. Under the UN Charter, states have the right and duty to defend themselves against threats, including non-state actors like the RSF.

The RSF, which has been accused of war crimes, ethnic violence, and brutal attacks, seeks to establish an Arab-controlled region in Sudan. Recent investigations revealed their involvement in ethnic cleansing, with many warning that the group poses a threat not only to Sudan but to global stability.

The international community has largely failed to address the threat posed by the RSF, with continued support from some external actors. Experts stress that a united response, including holding the militia’s leaders accountable and cutting off their supply of weapons, is necessary to stop the violence and restore peace.
