Abstract

It can be said that Sudan, since independence, has not had a purely national elite, as Sudan has been suffering from instability since independence on all levels. The features of Sudanese political failure have become clear, and the problem has become the insistence of the political elites on continuing the failure and reproducing its nutrients. Instead of thinking about solutions to the crises, the political parties want to keep them and invest in them. This problem has its reasons, whether internal or external. As we know, Sudan has a social structure that has made it a miniature Africa. The problem lies in the management of this diversity by the ruling elite. On the other hand, the problem lies in the relationship between the civil and military administration. The dispute still exists between the civil and military political institutions, or between the military institution itself. What we see today of the conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces is only evidence of the crises that Sudan is going through, which are almost throwing Sudan into the abyss.
