How US-Israeli war on Iran has eclipsed the crisis in Sudan Submitted by Osama Abuzaid on Wed, 04/15/2026 - 18:47 With global attention now squarely fixed on the Gulf, Sudanese warring parties may double down on the conflict economy A Sudanese soldier carries anti-tank rockets seized from a base that had been used by the rival Rapid Support Forces, in the Salha area of Omdurman, on 26 May 2025 (Ebrahim Hamid/AFP) On After six weeks of escalating violence in the US - Israeli war on Iran , a fragile two-week ceasefire was brokered by Pakistan in early April, with peace talks taking place this past weekend in Islamabad.
