They were the dictator's fighting dogs in Darfur – and became a large shadow army that wants to take over the entire country. The paramilitary RSF forces are fighting the army in an ethnically torn Sudan, with large foreign support. Immense resources in gold, cattle and other things are at stake, says Sudan expert Johan Brosché.

ConflictsThe parties in Sudan continue the brutal fighting that has torn the country apart over the past two years. The war rages on with support from other countries. The war could never have continued with this intensity if the country had not been flooded with weapons from many other countries, says Johan Brosché, associate professor of peace and conflict studies.
ConflictsOver the past ten years, Sweden has exported military equipment to the United Arab Emirates for almost 20 billion kronor. Now critical voices are being raised against the export due to the country's actions in Sudan. Sweden can put pressure on the country, says Johan Brosché, associate professor of peace and conflict studies.
SwedenMore massacres in the brutal civil war in Sudan are becoming known to the outside world. But no strong intervention from the outside world is in sight – even though the major powers could probably agree on this particular issue. We have such deep distrust now, says former top diplomat Jan Eliasson.
