Over 50 Cameroonians were recently repatriated from Sudan amidst the ongoing violence that has resulted in over 550 deaths. The conflict is due to a power struggle within the military leadership, which has made it difficult to address long-standing political, economic, and social issues in the country.
The Root Cause of the Conflict.
The conflict in Sudan began with the 2021 coup, which saw the country being run by a council of generals. The ongoing violence is the result of a power struggle within the military leadership between Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the armed forces and effectively the country’s president, and his deputy, Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti and leader of the RSF.
The situation escalated on April 15th, when the RSF was redeployed around the country, which the army saw as a threat. This led to shooting and subsequent violence that has resulted in over 550 deaths and ongoing human rights abuses. The crisis is further complicated by long-standing political, economic, and social issues that have plagued the country for years.

cameroonians repatriated back to their country.
