SUMMARY:Conference on the War in Sudan
DESCRIPTION:http://horn-africa.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/انطلاقة-مؤتمر-الحرب-في-السودان-وتأثيرها-على-الأمن-والاستقرار-في-منطقة-القرن-الأفريقي.mp4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference on the Impact of the War in Sudan on the Horn of Africa\nIntroduction\nThe war in Sudan\, which erupted on 15 April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)\, which had previously been part of the special forces affiliated with the Sudanese Army before being classified as a rebel force\, has become one of the most pressing issues occupying the international and regional community today. \nThe war has serious implications for security and stability in the Horn of Africa and neighbouring countries\, many of which already suffer from fragile political and security conditions. These developments are likely to exacerbate regional security challenges across the region\, particularly given Sudan’s pivotal role in its regional environment. \nAgainst this background\, the Horn of Africa Centre for Studies and Research intends to shed light on this critical issue through an in-depth study examining the impact of the war on regional security and stability. \nRegional Security\nThere is no doubt that regional security and stability constitute a cornerstone for achieving development and progress in the countries of the region\, in addition to their role in maintaining the stability of political systems. The relationship between security and political stability is closely interconnected: the absence of security undermines political stability\, and vice versa. \nThe war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces can be classified as an urban war\, with the three-city capital area of Sudan becoming the principal theatre of military operations. The resulting confrontations have severely affected civilians\, paralysed state institutions and movement\, displaced large numbers of people\, and undermined human security in Sudan. \nThis situation has\, in turn\, opened the way for increased displacement\, migration\, and refugee movements towards neighbouring countries in the Horn of Africa and the wider Arab region. \nPolitical Fragility\nThe threat posed by the war to Sudan’s security and stability has extended beyond the country’s borders to affect the wider region. Political stability represents an important foundation for the economic\, developmental\, and political advancement of states. \nThis is particularly evident in the Horn of Africa\, where political instability has reached a level that may be described as persistent turmoil. The region is characterised by multiple conflicts and disputes\, whether resulting from internal wars that affect the stability of political systems and the balance among domestic political forces\, or from regional dynamics driven by fluctuations in foreign policies\, which constitute a major factor in regional stability. \nWars and conflicts in the region remain among the most significant drivers of political and security instability. \nPolitical instability within regional systems is also shaped by the nature of relations between states\, which range from cooperation to competition and are influenced by numerous factors. In the Horn of Africa\, internal conflicts and armed confrontations are among the most important factors negatively affecting regional stability. \nAccordingly\, the war in Sudan requires an in-depth analysis of the regional policies of the countries concerned\, their positions towards the conflict\, and their interests in Sudan and the wider region. \nThis is particularly important given Sudan’s central position in the Horn of Africa and the possibility that the consequences of the war may extend beyond its borders to affect the region as a whole. \nRegional conflicts tend to expand in scope and intensity\, depending on geographical boundaries\, the number of potential actors involved\, the scale of resources\, the types of weapons used\, the support provided to the parties\, and the positions adopted regarding the objectives of the war. \nInternal wars within any regional system can alter the nature of interstate relations and may contribute to regional disorder that runs counter to the interests of both peoples and states. \nCall for Research Papers\nThe call for research papers adopts an analytical methodology based on available sources\, including international reports\, academic studies\, expert analyses\, and available field information. \nIt seeks to analyse the various dimensions of the war in Sudan and its effects on regional security and stability\, with particular emphasis on its impact on neighbouring countries and the Sahel and Sahara region\, as well as its implications for security in Egypt and Sudan itself. \nThe research will examine the political\, economic\, and social factors that contributed to the outbreak of the war and analyse its repercussions on countries including: \nEritrea\, Ethiopia\, Somalia\, Djibouti\, South Sudan\, Kenya\, Libya\, Chad\, Niger\, Mali\, and the Central African Republic. \nThe research also aims to analyse the impact of the war on human and social security at both the local and national levels\, while seeking to develop forward-looking perspectives on Sudan’s future foreign relations and the country’s security and stability. \nExpected Outcomes\nThe research project is expected to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the war in Sudan on regional security and stability and to offer insights into possible future trajectories for Sudan and the wider region. \nTarget Audience\nThe research project targets: \n\nResearchers and academics\nPolicymakers and decision-makers\nSpecialists in African affairs\nExperts and practitioners\nStudents and researchers interested in regional studies\nThe general public interested in understanding the dimensions of the Sudanese crisis and its regional implications\n\nConference Objectives\nThe conference\, entitled “The Impact of the War in Sudan on the Horn of Africa\,” aims to analyse the nature of relations among the countries of the region. \nA comparative analysis may demonstrate how the impact of the war varies according to the political\, economic\, security\, and strategic strength of each country. \nThe conference will highlight the key actors and examine how their interactions have been affected by the war in Sudan\, whether positively or negatively. \nThe conference is based on the premise that each country has its own internal political context\, which influences its political system and regional interactions. \nIt will also examine the role of regional states\, in cooperation with the international community\, in promoting security\, stability\, and peace in the Horn of Africa. \nConference
