Sudanese must join efforts to get out of this existential impasse, says H.A. Hellyer.

"Salvation" spoiled this emotional cohabitation and human intimacy by trying to co-opt some components – especially the Arabs – and bully them," Hellyer says. The salvation chose Darfur as a backyard to fight its ideological differences, which later turned into an ethnic confrontation that mobilized all tribal components, Hellyer adds. The polarization between the RSF and the army in Khartoum will have serious repercussions on the sidelines, he says.
