As Sudan navigates through this crisis, the international community watches closely, concerned about the potential for widespread humanitarian crises, from refugees fleeing violence to increasing incidents of malnutrition among children. The involvement of entities like the Wagner Group further complicates the situation, raising questions about foreign interference and the long-term impact on Sudan's transition to democracy.
