Former Sudanese Prime Minister Dr\u202fAbdalla Hamdok\u2019s recent two-day visit to South Africa has provided renewed insight into the catastrophic crisis unfolding in his homeland. Speaking on Radio Islam International\u2019s Debrief Report<\/a><\/em>, analyst Zakiyya Hatia summarised Hamdok\u2019s stark warnings\u2014and urgent calls for action\u2014to prevent further collapse of Sudan.<\/p>\n

Hatia emphasised Hamdok\u2019s \u201cpragmatism\u201d and calm leadership, especially during the worsening crisis since April 2023 when fighting surged between Sudan\u2019s regular armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This conflict has ravaged the country, killing thousands, displacing millions, and pushing over 30 million people\u2014nearly two-thirds of the population\u2014into dire humanitarian need.<\/p>\n

The scale of the destruction in Sudan is staggering and has affected over 15 million directly through displacement, famine, or disease, Hatia observed.<\/p>\n

According to Hatia, Hamdok outlined three critical objectives for peace:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Humanitarian relief: \u201cending the killing of all Sudanese, civilian and military, and making sure there’s access to basic needs like shelter, food, and medicine.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Ceasefire: enforcement via \u201cmonitoring mechanisms and humanitarian corridors.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Political resolution: a \u201ccredible, comprehensive national dialogue\u201d to formally end the conflict.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hamdok contends that without all three steps, \u201cpeace is a distant hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The situation in the region has reached epic proportions, with over 30 million Sudanese\u2014including 16 million children\u2014in need of urgent aid. Food insecurity has reached famine levels in regions including North Darfur, while health services crumble, with up to 70\u201380% of facilities non-functional.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, there are more than 12 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and over 3 million refugees\u2014the largest displacement crisis globally.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, cholera, malaria, dengue, and measles outbreaks are rampant, with the WHO reporting over 135 attacks on healthcare facilities since 2023.<\/p>\n

    Making matters worse, U.S., European, and other donor funding has declined\u2014some of it frozen\u2014leaving already underfunded operations struggling as the rainy season threatens to intensify the suffering.<\/p>\n

    The interview also revisited criticism of Hamdok\u2019s 2020 decision to lead a civilian government under military oversight.<\/p>\n

    Hatia remarked, \u201cHis attempt to form a civilian-led government under military oversight was a difficult, controversial decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

    She noted that while rare and sometimes compared to Myanmar\u2019s Aung\u202fSan Suu\u202fKyi scenario, the move was made to avert collapse\u2014and \u201cseen with a different sense of wisdom \u2026 it might have been a good decision had that gone through in 2020.\u201d However, she warned that \u201cit might just be too late for the country in that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Hamdok\u2019s visit spotlights a grave warning: Sudan stands at a crossroads between total collapse and the faint hope of recovery. His holistic framework\u2014humanitarian relief, ceasefire, and inclusive dialogue\u2014is a strategic blueprint urgently needed, yet its success demands swift, coordinated action from both Sudanese factions and the international community.<\/p>\n
