So basically one may ignore most of the details and conclude that the country remains a total mess with no chance for an improvement in sight. Unfortunately.

....as long as our glorious governments let 'our glorious allies' in the Middle East do as they like - not a trace of hope for an improvement.

Sadly, yes.

So, this is another civil war to satisfy the lust of corrupt generals.

Nice summary of chaos! Any news about the purported air delivery of Russian weapons to the RSF, via Libya? If I missed it in your summary, apologies!

Thank you for your work. I admire the speed and efficiency with which you are able to gatjer, verify and interpret intel. With reagards to:

Please, make no mistake: this is all little else but a fight between ‘gangs of Khartoum’.

I would love to find out your opinion or even dare you a bit to speculate: What interest in the world would the Orc State have in setting this part of the world onfire thus limiting or even shutting the possibility to treat it as milking cow? Thus. In Sudan and places alike they have generated substantial chunk of assets to go for 'their wester ukrainian brothers'. Any disruption or a large svale affair imppses the risk of blocking transport routes, mines becoming damaged or inoperational for such a fable fact as fleeing people who could also work in such ... instiutions (assuming they are civilians adn institutions being not highly robotised which i doubt knowing the mir) and finally risking a high degree or risk of the Dagallo grpup being overrun and swept. Any suggestions?

Not sure how interesting you may find this. But Greece last year sold some surveillance software called 'predator' to an unknown party in Sudan. This was a dual use item and the proper procedures were not followed thus it was exported illegally.

With the civil war this issue has resurfaced. At this point any links to the civil war is speculations, but it sounds like rsf has it and through it managed to surprise the other side.
