NEW PUBLICATION! I analyzed 10 months of combat locations, weapons transfers, military logistics & networks in #Sudan🇸🇩 to reconstruct how the #RSF overtook the #SAF on the ground - and how Wagner & UAE supplied this war. Summary🧵below
@GIGA_Institutegiga-hamburg.de/en/publication… First and always foremost: The suffering of the people of Sudan disappeared from the headlines, and we need to keep our eyes on Sudan more than ever.
