El-Obeid Battlefield: Two Sudanese Generals Refuse Ceasefire Despite International Pressure
The fight for el-Obeid exposes the deadlock in Sudan's peace process as both the army and paramilitary forces insist on a military victory, ignoring humanitarian warnings and U.S. diplomatic efforts.

Analysts describe the conflict as a proxy war, with foreign powers backing each faction and little prospect for a ceasefire.
