Ludan is counting its dead after a conflict that started on April 15. Forty-five days of fighting later between two men who covet power, namely General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, who heads the army, and General Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, some 866 civilians were killed and 3,721 injured, according to a new report established Monday by the union of Sudanese doctors.
And several dead and wounded could not be counted because of the difficulties of access to hospitals and the security context in the country. Through the fault of two generals who favored the deafening and murderous language of arms to explain themselves instead of the voice of reason and wisdom, the local population, who asked for nothing, is paying a heavy price. And while this armed conflict begins to drag on, interrupted by truces that are never respected, death, the dead tend to become commonplace.
To register, unfortunately, in a certain normality. Who is upset? The international community ? Nay. It observes from afar the disintegration of Sudan, while certain major foreign powers are offended only to preserve their strategic, political and economic interests in this country.
Only the African Union is in charge of trying to bring peace there. A meeting of the Peace and Security Council was thus held on Saturday by videoconference, at the level of Heads of State and Government on the situation in Sudan, during which Morocco expressed “its total solidarity with brotherly Sudan in these difficult conditions and remains ready to provide the necessary and possible support to help it overcome this crisis”.
For the Kingdom, “the first key to the political solution lies in the establishment of mutual trust between the brothers and the start of a fruitful dialogue to achieve a lasting peace that guarantees the brotherly Sudanese people security, stability and prosperity”. Enough to silence the guns?
The future will tell. For now, the belligerents are flexing their muscles in an already economically fragile country, which is seeing its sons flee their country: since the start of the fighting, 200,000 people have left Sudan. A country that now joins the list of countries on maximum alert, where the risk of food insecurity for their populations is the most worrying, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Food Program Global (MAP).
