Why is there fighting in Sudan?
The intentions to incorporate the 100,000-strong RSF into the army, and who would subsequently command the new force, are one of the key causes of contention.

Fighting in Sudan has been widely reported over the past week, but why is it happening now?
The nasty power struggle that broke out within the nation's military leadership is the root cause of the bloody confrontations that occurred all over the place. Sudan has been governed by a council of generals since a coup in October 2021.
The two soldiers at the heart of this argument are:
Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the military forces and de facto president of the nation, and Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, often known as Hemedti, his deputy and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF),
They disagree on the direction the nation is taking and the idea of switching to civilian administration.
After days of tension, fighting between the two sides broke out when RSF members were redistributed across the nation, which the army viewed as a danger.
