السودان وأزمة الدولة المتهالكة: عندما يعيد الجميع إنتاج الفشل

The Sudan Tribune reports that the current situation in Sudan is not just a struggle for power, but also a competition to monopolize it through specific groups. While the military leader and his allies from the remnants of the National Congress Party are fighting for control, millions of Sudanese people are paying the price with displacement, exile, hunger, and collapse of services. The crisis goes beyond the current war, as it is an issue of a state built on structural imbalances that have never recognized the country's diversity in terms of politics, culture, ethnicity, and geography. Since independence, a central elite has monopolized power, wealth, and decision-making, while peripheral regions, including the Blue Nile region, have been marginalized. The Blue Nile region has not seen genuine development, education, or healthcare that meets its needs, nor basic services to maintain the dignity of its citizens. For over four decades, the region has been a battleground for internal wars, and the most basic living conditions are still absent. Poverty and isolation have become direct consequences of policies of exclusion, marginalization, and absence of fair participation in decision-making. Unfortunately, the crisis is no longer limited to the center; even some armed movements that emerged from these regions as a response to marginalization and injustice have fallen into the same trap, instead of providing a new model based on democracy, justice, equality, and partnership, they have reproduced practices of exclusion and monopolization of power.

Since independence, Sudan has been plagued by structural imbalances that have led to the marginalization of peripheral regions. The central elite has monopolized power, wealth, and decision-making, while regions like the Blue Nile have been left behind. Despite its rich resources, the region has not seen genuine development, education, or healthcare that meets its needs. The absence of fair participation in decision-making has led to policies of exclusion, marginalization, and poverty.

The crisis in Sudan is a complex issue that requires a deep understanding of the country's history and structural imbalances. The current struggle for power is not just about individual interests but also about the reproduction of practices of exclusion and monopolization of power. Even some armed movements that emerged from these regions have fallen into the same trap, instead of providing a new model based on democracy, justice, equality, and partnership.

The crisis in Sudan requires a fundamental transformation of the state's structure and policies to address the country's diversity and marginalization. Practitioners must consider the long-term implications of current actions and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
