Sudan's conflict has gone on for 2.5 years and sees no end in sight. Already the world's largest humanitarian and displacement crisis, Sudan's ongoing conflict has dire risks not only for the people of Sudan, who continue to suffer the effects of war, famine, and disease, but also for the wider Red Sea region. The Trump Administration has declared ending the war in Sudan a high priority, but efforts to engage the parties to the conflict or their regional supporters have been modest to date and produced little more than statements of concern. What is at stake, and what can be done to end the conflict, alleviate civilian suffering, and de-escalate growing regional instability?
