The Khartoum Quagmire: Unpacking Sudan’s Civil War

Sudan’s civil war has evolved into one of the most devastating and strategically consequential conflicts in Africa today. The Khartoum Quagmire is a Global Eye Intelligence Conflict Intelligence Report that delivers a clear, structured assessment of how Sudan descended into full-scale warfare—and why its consequences extend far beyond Khartoum.

The report analyses the power struggle between rival military formations, tracing how failed democratic transition, fragmented command structures, and competition over resources ignited urban warfare, ethnic violence, and state collapse. It maps battlefield dynamics across Khartoum, Darfur, and peripheral regions, while highlighting how gold, fuel, and trade routes finance prolonged conflict.

Beyond internal dynamics, the assessment details the growing internationalisation of the war—foreign backers, mercenary flows, and the risk of Sudan becoming a sustained proxy battleground. It evaluates humanitarian fallout at scale, including mass displacement, famine risk, collapse of healthcare systems, and destabilisation across the Horn of Africa and Red Sea corridor—an increasingly vital zone for global trade and maritime security.

This is not a humanitarian overview—it is conflict intelligence designed for policymakers, defence analysts, investors, and strategic planners.

Global Eye Intelligence is followed by those who monitor African conflicts before they trigger regional shockwaves. Missing this report means reacting late to a crisis already reshaping Africa’s security architecture.
