The population is questioning the reasons that led to this deadly conflict. The conflict between Hemedti and General al-Burhan exploded when they were forced to announce their plan to integrate the RSF into regular troops.
Another bone of contention is the presence since the reign of Omar al-Bashir of many Islamist officers in the Sudanese army. Washington is closely monitoring the situation in Khartoum and is calling for a ceasefire, at least to evacuate the wounded and affected populations.
