"The Sudan war is much more than an internal conflict; it has evolved into a self-sustained political economy of violence."

In this brief, Dr Shambhavi Anand explores how the militarisation of strategic resources like gold and oil, coupled with external intervention, prolongs Sudan's devastating humanitarian crisis. It argues that any viable peace process must address the underlying war economy and resource exploitation.
