In the third article, Giorgio Cafiero argues that despite Egyptian concerns about the conflict in Sudan, this crisis presents a potential opportunity for Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to position himself as an important leader on the international stage, as Sisi expressed his desire to play a mediator role after the outbreak of the crisis. Al Sharif highlights that the civilian forces involved in the political process believe that supporters of the former regime played a role in fueling these disputes, as handing over power to civilians constitutes a threat to their activities. She also stresses that now, after the outbreak of fighting on April 15, it has become important to stop the conflict because of its high costs, and if this does not happen quickly, then further regional and international intervention is likely to complicate the situation.

The second article, presented by Sudanese writer Weam Al Sharif, recounts the causes of the current armed conflict, explaining that despite the involvement of the army and the RSF in the political process, their media statements indicated the existence of deep differences between them, especially regarding the framework agreement.

Basher says that with the continuation of fighting, the number of internally displaced persons will increase to a point that is difficult to estimate. Basher predicts that the war will lead to millions of people in urban areas losing their jobs, and he notes that tens of thousands have already fled to safe cities. In the first article, Sudanese journalist Youseif Basher argues that the complete disappearance of the state since the first day of the fighting exacerbates the human cost of a conflict which is likely to be exhausting and long, due to the fact that the two fighting sides possess a huge amount of military equipment and seem unwilling to stop the fighting. In light of the ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, Sada publishes three articles that discuss the humanitarian and political situation, the impact of fighting on the future of the country, and the possibilities of external interference, namely from countries that have historically played prominent roles in Sudan, such as Egypt.
