Abstract
Since April 2023, Sudan has been in a state of conflict driven by a power struggle between two rival military factions that has devastated the country. Over three million people were displaced just in the first 100 days, thousands killed, and many more wounded. But what do we actually know about the conflict in Sudan?
Join host Naghmeh Sohrabi as she speaks with Anna Simone Reumert, a postdoctoral fellow at the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at the New School, who has conducted extensive ethnographic work with Sudanese migrant workers in Lebanon and Sudan. In their conversation, they cover a wide variety of topics from a basic understanding of the various local and global actors to what we miss when we insist on calling the conflict a civil war; the ways in which comparisons to the Lebanese civil war sheds light on the conflict in Sudan; and an assessment of available diplomatic solutions.
