Sudanese politicians warn of total state collapse as pressure grows over arms embargo

Sudanese politicians have warned that the country is on the brink of a complete state collapse as the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensifies. The war, which has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions, has devastated the country and its economy. Despite international efforts to broker a ceasefire, both sides remain determined to continue fighting.

Former mining minister Adel Ibrahim stated that "we are talking about a crisis, but in reality, it is more than a crisis. It is the beginning of a complete collapse of the state." The value of the Sudanese pound has plummeted against the dollar, and there are growing concerns that chemical weapons may have been used in the conflict.

Sudan's former cabinet affairs minister, Khalid Omar Youssef, called for an independent investigation into these allegations, warning that preventing inspections would put the country in a precarious position. The United States and other regional powers are pushing for a broader arms embargo to cover the entire country, but the situation remains volatile.
