Sudan: Foreign intervention threatens to prolong the war. The Rapid Support Forces face accusations of using foreign mercenary forces in their war against the Sudanese army.
Observers fear that the continued foreign presence and the flow of military support to the parties to the conflict will prolong the conflict, complicate the situation, and lead to the collapse of the state or its transformation into isolated mini-states. The latest report prepared by United Nations experts on Sudan revealed details of the military supply from abroad to the Rapid Support forces.
