Abstract
The collapse of states represents a critical juncture in global geopolitics, with profound implications for regional stability and international relations. This paper explores the regional and international ramifications of the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan, focusing on the potential for state collapse and its multifaceted consequences. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review and analysis of Sudan’s geopolitical landscape, the study examines the historical context, external influences, and internal dynamics driving the conflict. By synthesizing insights from various scholarly works, the paper highlights the inadequacy of previous studies in fully assessing the risks and implications of state failure in Sudan. Through an exploration of regional actors’ interests, including neighboring countries and global powers, the study underscores the complex web of geopolitical dynamics at play. Additionally, the paper analyzes the causes and potential outcomes of state collapse, including its impact on regional stability, humanitarian crises, and security challenges. The findings underscore the urgent need for proactive measures to mitigate the risks of state collapse in Sudan and its far-reaching consequences on regional and international security.
