Sudan, RSF, SAF, conflict wheel model, conflict mappingAbstract
The discipline of Peace and Conflict Studies offers unique and technical ways to map, assess, and analyze conflict. In the case of Sudan, a gap in the existing literature is the lack of a systematic, technical analysis of the conflict using a mapping or model. This analytical/technical framework gap is addressed in this research paper. The first aim is to apply the Conflict Wheel Model to study the Sudan conflict and present a multi-layered causal, profile, dynamic, and scenario-based analysis. The second aim is to analyze the interconnectedness between dynamics, root causes, and actors that culminated in the April 2023 war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This paper follows a qualitative research methodology through historical analysis and includes both primary and secondary sources.
