The policy community needs to grapple with an uncomfortable question about Sudan: Egypt has more coercive leverage over the Sudanese Armed Forces than any external actor — weapons supply, air infrastructure, diplomatic sponsorship, intelligence coordination. By any objective measure, Egypt could enforce a ceasefire.
Three years and 500,000 casualties later, it has not.
The explanation cannot be 'limited influence.' It must be strategic choice. What does a fragile, dependent Sudan offer Cairo that a stable, sovereign one does not, and why are we not asking these sorts of questions more often? Why are actors like Egypt — parties with legitimate abilities to end this conflict — sitting it out?
