At least 97 people have died and hundreds have been injured in Sudan, where forces loyal to two rival generals are battling for control of the North African nation. The clashes have now entered its third day and world leaders have called for a ceasefire, but news reports indicate neither side has shown signs of backing down.
If you’re looking for more context on this matter, please consider David Shinn, professorial lecturer at the George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs. Shinn served for 37 years in the U.S. Foreign Service with assignments at embassies in Sudan, Lebanon, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritania, and Cameroon and as ambassador to Burkina Faso and Ethiopia. His areas of expertise include a large focus on the Horn of Africa, U.S. policy in Africa and African relations with nations like China, Russia, Turkey and Gulf States.
