Why it matters

Sudan is a critical regional player, and instability threatens its economic and diplomatic standing. The attacks on vital oil infrastructure, which is crucial for South Sudan's government revenue, escalate the internal conflict and pose a direct risk to Sudan's regional stability.

The conflict between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces has been ongoing since April 2023, with intense fighting continuing in regions like Kordofan. The accusations of targeting civilian infrastructure raise serious international humanitarian law concerns regarding the conduct of the war.
