Sudan war tests peace efforts in era of drone warfare
Sudanese refugee women walk through Tulum refugee camp in eastern Chad’s Wadi Fira province on November 30, 2025. Sudan’s war has displaced millions and created one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.
Sudan’s war has entered its fourth year, becoming a persistent burden for mediators who have deployed every tool available to end the bloodshed. It may also foreshadow future conflicts, suggesting wars could become harder to resolve as access to advanced technology expands.
On Monday, the international community said in a joint statement that dialogue and civilian-led efforts, not violence, should be pursued “as a central pillar in efforts to end the war and lay the groundwork for a democratic and inclusive civilian-led transition process”.
