This
research aims to understand the impact of the 2023 civil war in Sudan on ethnic
groups in the north and south. It compares the effects on central and local
administrations to find solutions for ethnic conflicts. In April 2023, a civil
war broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (al-Burhan) and the Rapid
Support Forces (Hemedti). The conflict was a struggle for power following the
overthrow of Omar al-Bashir in 2019. During Bashir's era, the RSF helped
protect the regime from coups, which increased their power and led the army to
conspire to remove him. The current conflict has intensified ethnic and
administrative tensions in the north and south. The study uses qualitative
analysis to examine the effects of the war on ethnic and administrative groups,
relying on secondary data from the United Nations and organizational reports
from 2023-2024. The analysis compares the north and south to assess tensions
and administrative efficiency, using Ethnic Conflict Theory. Findings show that
civilians continue to suffer from violence, with 7.7 million internally
displaced and over 2 million refugees. Ethnic tensions have worsened in both regions.
Around 16 million children need humanitarian aid. The war has caused famine in
several areas, disease outbreaks, and climate-related crises. Women and girls
are most at risk due to sexual violence, with over 12 million people needing
specialized services. The 2023 Sudanese civil war caused the collapse of
central administration in Khartoum, halting services like health and education,
and leading to chaos. Locally, it disrupted governance in areas like Darfur and
Kordofan, causing mass displacement and shortages in care and security. This
hinders recovery, with billions in economic losses reported. The research is
important for the future, suggesting models for ethnic reconciliation and
strengthening local governance, which can guide peace policies and open doors
for regional studies on fragile conflicts.
