Growing concerns have arisen along the Sudan\/Central African Republic border where conflict from Sudan is spilling over into neighbouring countries and affecting thousands of people.<\/p>\n
Ramadan Ahmed, political analyst and editor of SudanHorizon.com, says that the visit undertaken by the Prime Minister of the Central African Republic, Felix Maloha, is to \u201cassure his population that they are safe\u201d. With two armed groups operating in the region, his visit to the northeastern town of Biaro following a deadly attack on the border town of Am-Dafok serves to bring stability to the region.<\/p>\n
The nomadic Arab group from the CAR are the same ones committing a genocide in Darfur and doing what the Sudanese RSF are doing in rebelling against the government and holding arms against them.<\/p>\n
Countries neighbouring Sudan like Chad and Ethiopia have been affected by the civil war, with Eritrea the only country not affected by the insurgencies. According to Ramadan, some are even \u201cconniving\u201d with the RSF and its funders, the United Arab Emirates, bribed to facilitate the transfer of arms into Sudan. The RSF is not an \u201corganised group\u201d like an army with a hierarchy, but rather works arbitrarily, and can easily turn against anyone, with Chad itself having suffered daring attacks by the RSF.<\/p>\n
Politicians always try to pacify citizens, but it is difficult to deny the \u201cfacts on the ground,\u201d Ramadan says. \u201cInvestment and instability are antidotes,\u201d that cannot exist side-by-side, he emphasizes. With the Sudanese border being \u201cone of the hottest borders\u201d due to the nature of the terrain and the tribes, attacks are frequent with volatile nomads who often turn against each other.<\/p>\n
Ramadan says that he is \u201cnot optimistic at all\u201d that the situation will improve because of the involvement of outside forces like the UAE that is operating on behalf of Zionism, creating instability, hegemony and fuelling the conflict in the area. He adds that it is \u201cincumbent on regional governments\u201d to show commitment to the safety and stability of the region without accepting bribes, and to not allow insurgency to continue from the outside.<\/p>\n
