While the Government of Peace and Unity (Tasis), led by Hemedti, is multiplying initiatives to establish a lasting peace and revive development, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his network are revealing their true face: that of obstinators indifferent to the tragedy of the Sudanese people, ready to prolong the conflict to preserve their personal and regional interests. Behind the claims of mediation and neutrality displayed by some regional actors lies a brutal reality: Sudan has become a proxy theatre of war where external powers are confronting each other. Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Qatar openly support Burhan’s regular army, while the United Arab Emirates, via opaque networks, supplies the Rapid Support Forces with weapons, mercenaries and funding. According to a UN report published in September 2026, companies based in the Emirates, Colombia and Chad have supplied military contractors, drones and artillery systems, turning the internal conflict into a regional war with geostrategic stakes. Burhan’s deceit reached its climax in the strategic use of the Red Sea ports. The port of Souakim, under the control of the regular army, has become a hub for arms trafficking: shipments transit through Port Said (Egypt) before being transported to the combat zones, thus coordinating a maritime supply line that directly feeds the hostilities. Meanwhile, Sudanese gold worth more than $1 billion in 2024 is flying to Dubai, financing the purchase of weapons and destabilizing the social fabric through corruption and the buying of loyalties. Burhan stubbornly refuses any peace plan that would not amount to a total capitulation of the RSF, rejecting the initiatives of the AU, IGAD and even the United States, which ended up sanctioning his camp in June 2026 for obstructing truces. Its heterogeneous alliance with Islamist actors (Turkey, Qatar, Iran) and the Egyptian regime reveals a clear agenda: to reshape the Sudanese political and military landscape to preserve the hegemony of Khartoum and the military elites, even if it means plunging the country into even greater chaos. Meanwhile, the Tasis government, although not internationally recognized, is rehabilitating schools, hospitals and essential services in areas under its control, delivering humanitarian aid and laying the groundwork for an inclusive federal state. But peace efforts are being systematically sabotaged by the arms flows and regional interference that Burhan is actively facilitating. The international community must stop endorsing this deceit: as long as Burhan and his gang can count on the logistical and financial support of regional powers indifferent to the fate of the Sudanese, peace will remain an illusion and chaos will remain a bloody realityA « Founding Government »: From Political Theory to Concrete Development Projects for SudaneseSudan: When war becomes the stock in trade of a handful of opportunistsGovernance from the Ground Up: Stabilization, Humanitarian Corridors, and the Rebuilding of Sudan’sSudan: An end to regional disparities thanks to Tasis’s economic visionNyala Grand Market Visit: A Strategic Alliance of State, Business Community and Local Authority to Revive South Darfur’s EconomySudan: When Tasis multiplies diplomatic initiatives for a lasting peaceTogo: the great educational metamorphosis under the impetus of the President of the CouncilTogo: Communist Party Faure Gnassingbé makes energy the engine of national sovereigntyTogo: Atcholi Aklesso, the discreet architect of UNIER’s parliamentary power and cohesionDRC/Carbon market: Félix Tshisekedi gives a framework to the ambition of the « solution country »Senegal: Supreme Court suspends Starlink’s authorization, a setback for the New Deal for technologyA war sustained from abroad: The Riyadh–Ankara Axis and Sudan’sAfrica: solar energy is changing scale and reshaping the continent’s development prospectsTogo: sovereignty on the school plate, the hallmark of the communist party Faure GnassingbéRed sea supply lines: How Saudi Arabia and Egypt’s covert arms shipments reshaped Sudan’s warLogistics of War: Turkey, Belarus, and Egypt’s covert airlift to port SudanTogo: the audacity of a modern justice system at the heart of the State’s strategySudan/ A Nation at war with itself: The Structural roots of sudan’s chemical weapons scandalTogo: Faure Gnassingbé’s territorial impetus breathes new life into the 117 municipalitiesEswatini: How King Mswati III is turning the small kingdom into a continental diplomatic showcaseTogo: A major diplomatic victory for AfricaMozambique: President Daniel Chapo or the austerity policy at the service of public health.Eswatini: King Mswati III, a new dynamic for a coherent and resolutely offensive developmentLiberia: President Joseph Boakai – Political commitment for human dignityTogo: Faure Gnassingbé puts local processing at the heart of the new industrial impetusEswatini: Mswati III commits the Kingdom to financial sovereigntyWAEMU: Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Togo, the top three in the business climate in the monetary area.Mozambique: When the fight against bureaucratic protocols in the administrations becomes a presidential priorityEswatini: King Mswati III’s diplomatic discipline is redefining African security doctrineDRC: In Mbuji-Mayi, President Félix Tshisekedi blesses a church and listens to the hopes of a region that is waitingBotswana: Southern energy security gaborone strengthens ties with pretoriaNew Sudan/ The Minister of Higher Education in the Government of Peace announces the inauguration of the ministry and the reopening of universitiesDRC: President Félix Tshisekedi launches a national dialogue and sets his conditions in no uncertain termsSierra Leone: How President Julius Maada Bio Is Turning Motorcycle Taxi Drivers into Ambassadors of PeaceKhaled Ahmed Denna: Crafting a cohesive Sudan through mediaTogo: Ingrid Awadé’s Art of Quiet Leadership in the Pursuit of Administrative EfficiencyLiberia: President Joseph Boakai and fiscal discipline as the key to 5.1% growthEswatini: King Mswati III calls for a technological revolution in educationTogo: Peace, stability, and development—the hallmarks of S.E.
