Sudan Fears Civil War as Military and Paramilitary Forces Face Off Over Power-Sharing Deal

The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group have mobilized troops around Khartoum over disputes on military reform and power-sharing in Sudan's transition to civilian rule.
The RSF was formed from militias that committed human rights abuses in Darfur and wants to remain under civilian control rather than integrate into the army.
Tensions have been rising for months and threaten to plunge Sudan into a civil war between the army and RSF.
The RSF has amassed troops in cities across Sudan in violation of the law according to the army, accusing the RSF of destabilizing Sudan.
Russia has expressed interest in building a base on Sudan's Red Sea coast with the support of the RSF.
