The concept of the African Standby Force needs to adapt to the modern realities of conflict.
The federal government needs to address the relationship between climate-related realities and the country’s national security.
Sudan’s new government came to power after a people-driven process to oust former President Omar al-Bashir. It must be careful to place ordinary Sudanese at the centre of the reforms process.
Omar al-Bashir may be gone but Sudan still has a way to go before it enjoys a functioning democracy.
Africa’s youngest state has a long way to go before it can put conflict behind it for good.
Taking Sudan off America’s list of terror is just one step in the country’s journey to economic recovery
Despite the dismantling of Sudan’s ruling party, the country’s autocratic leanings still pose a threat to democracy.
South Sudan has had many opportunities to create a lasting peace but so far all efforts have been unsuccessful.
There are challenges that Sudan must overcome before power is transferred to its people.
Menggulingkan al-Bashir tidak menjamin adanya demokrasi di Sudan.
Las protestas contra este régimen corrupto han conseguido una importante victoria. Pero queda mucho por hacer hasta que la democracia regrese a este país africano.
Les manifestants soudanais contre le régime d'Al-Béchir ont remporté une victoire importante. Mais il reste encore un long chemin à parcourir avant que la démocratie ne soit rétablie.
Sudanese protesters against al-Bashir’s regime have scored an important victory. But there’s a long way to go before democracy is restored.
Warring factions in South Sudan have signed numerous peace deals none of which have held.
Fed up with the high cost of living, and an oppressive state, the people of Sudan are rising up against their president.
As pockets of conflict continue to destablise South Sudan, much hope has been placed on the most recent peace deal.
African leaders need to acknowledge the gravity of the Congo crisis and apply pressure on Kabila.
The numerous opposition groups battling to unseat President Salva Kiir lack a shared agenda and common approach. Sadly, too, no group is working towards a unified future for South Sudan.
Nearly half of South Sudan’s population could be severely food insecure and at risk of death in the coming months because of the avoidable acts of civil war in a land of plenty.
There’s still hope South Sudan can avoid becoming a full failed state. This will require radical changes in Juba’s mindset and bolder action from regional and international players.
The world needs to take urgent steps to stop the threat of mass massacres in South Sudan with tough measures that must include direct legal and financial sanctions against the main protagonists.
If fighting continues and controversial policies are not reversed, it’s only a matter of time before full scale fighting breaks out again in South Sudan.
