Wojna domowa w Sudanie w świetle koncepcji nowych wojen
The Civil War in Sudan in the Light of the Concept of New Wars

Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the war in Sudan from the perspective of the new wars con-cept authored by Mary Kaldor. The confl ict between Sudanese Armed Forces andRapid Support Forces (rsf) largely proves its validity. The war derives from long--lasting political instability and violence in this country, as exacerbated by multipleethnic and tribal tensions (which are characteristic for the entire region of Sahel).The activity of external actors was also an important driver which concerns espe-cially the Wagner Group and the Arab states supporting rsf. The clashes weremostly irregular and emerged in large areas of this vast country. Large-scale vio-lence targeted civilians which fueled a refugee and humanitarian crisis. A widenetwork of rsf-centered domestic and international business ties – makingthis paramilitary force almost a state within a state – played an important role.For the reasons above, perspectives for sustainable peace have been poor.
