SUDAN CIVIL WAR FUELS RED SEA CRISIS

Sudan's civil war, ongoing since 2023, has triggered a massive humanitarian crisis with peace talks failing and no decisive breakthroughs. External powers like Russia, Iran, and Middle Eastern countries are exploiting the conflict to expand military engagement in Sudan and Somalia, advancing their economic and political goals in the Horn of Africa and Red Sea region. This meddling exacerbates local conflicts, undermining U.S. interests and the welfare of African populations. Shifting alliances, including Egypt's military ties with Somalia, further complicate regional stability amid economic pressures.
