Grateful to have spoken to @MathildaMall @MiddleEastEye to discuss my recent report - we tackled external drivers to Sudan's war, its wider implications, the role of mercenaries, the use of Starlink by civilians & military factions - & more (short sample below).

How did the UAE supply the RSF & sustain its war effort in Sudan for 2+ years? What dictated the reliance on Amdjarass, Kufra or other nodes? More broadly, how did Sudan's war affect arms trafficking & mercenary networks in Chad & Libya? My in-depth report @GI_TOC: globalinitiative.net/analysis/impac…
