The fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces started in April 2023 .

It was sparked by two generals competing for power after a failed political transition.

Several external actors are supporting the two warring parties with arms, ammunition and money.

The United Arab Emirates is emerging as one of the foreign players most invested in the war.

In Sudan , two Emirati firms are farming over 50,000 hectares in the north, with plans for expansion.

Agricultural produce is then shipped through the Red Sea .

To bypass the port of Sudan , the UAE signed a new deal in 2022 to build a new port on the coast of Sudan .
