Sudan’s Calamity and the End of the Liberal Order:

By: Ali Noureldin Abdulrahman

Following a three-hour meeting between Sudan’s President of the Sovereignty Council General Abdul Fattah Al-Burhan and the US envoy for Africa Massad Boulos in Switzerland, the Washington Post published an article by columnist Ishsaan Tharoor, in which he said Sudan suffers from neglect and indifference that seems to reflect the new shape of global politics.

Tharoor said the superlatives in Sudan remain bleak despite repeated calls by the United Nations for humanitarian aid to the besieged people in Elfasher and elsewhere in Sudan.

He said in the past week at least 63 people , mostly women and children starved to death in Elfasher which is besieged by the RSF for more than a year now.

Eric Perdison, the World Food Program’s director for Eastern and Southern Africa, said “ everyone in Elfasher is facing a daily struggle to survive.”

The writer said the intractable nature of Sudan’s conflict and the ubiquity of the suffering is an indictment of a faltering international system.

He quoted Anne Applebaun as saying that the end of the liberal world order is a phrase thrown around conference rooms and university lecture halls.

Anne, reporting from a camp for the displaced outside Khartoum, said in the Atlantic’s latest cover story, said “ in Al-ahamdda, this theoretical idea has become reality as the liberal world order has already ended in Sudan and there isn’t anything to replace it.”

What remains now is to see the outcome of this contact between Sudan and the U.S, the first in months.
