Understanding Sudan’s Conflict: Context and Implications
Virtual Member-Only Briefing
Thursday, June 8 , 2023 | 5:00 PM – 6:15 PM ET
An armed conflict has erupted between rival factions of the military government in Sudan, resulting in widespread violence and chaos across Sudan, with the majority of fighting happening in cities of over 100,000 people. The fighting comes just months after the civilian political forces and the military signed an agreement to transfer power to a civilian government. As the conflict grows, what is at stake for the Horn of Africa? How are international actors impacting the conflict? And how does the legacy of atrocities in Darfur and the role of the International Criminal Court figure into today’s violence? Join us for a Virtual Member-only conversation with Mr. Sami Hamdi, an expert on the MENA region and the Managing Director of the International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company on Thursday, June 8 from 5 to 6:15 PM EST where he will discuss the complexities of this power struggles, Sudan’s struggle for democracy, and the impact of this conflict on the MENA region and beyond.
