    الأزمة السودانية: هل تسهم التحويلات المالية في منع المجاعة وانهيار الدولة

    يشهد السودان تصاعداً مهولاً في العنف الدائر بالبلاد، منذ ١٥ أبريل الماضي، تحديداً في دارفور وفي العاصمة الخرطوم. ترك الصراع العنيف بين قوات الدعم السريع شبه العسكرية، والقوات المسلحة السودانية للسيطرة على البلاد ومواردها، أثراً بالغاً على حيوات معظم سكان السودان. وعلى الرغم من أن هذه المعركة تبدو للوهلة الأولى وكأنها حدثاً طارئاً ، إلا أن الواقع الحالي يقتضي النظر إليها كتكثيف لنشاط الاقتصاد السياسي السوداني الاستخراجي (الريعي)، بجانب استخدام المليشيا في خوض الحروب الداخلية السودانية

    المساعدات الغذائية والسلطة في السودان – هل حان وقت التغيير أم الترسيخ؟

    لأول مرة في عقود من الزمان أصبح للسودان فرصة حقيقية لتحقيق التغيير السياسي والإقتصادي. لقد أدت ثورة ديسمبر لعام 2019 إلى تشكيل حكومة إنتقالية عازمة على دعم حقوق الإنسان والمفاوضات السلمية بالإضافة إلى عقدها لإنتخابات ديمقراطية. إن البرمجة بصورة مراعية للنزاعات مهمة في هذه الفترة وذلك لعدة أسباب: 1. يمر السودان بعدة أزمات متداخلة بعضها سياسية وأخرى إقتصادية أو صحية، بالإضافة إلى النزاعات المتواصلة وعمليات النزوح المطولة بدارفور، زيادة على تدفقات اللاجئين. 2. إن المعونات الغذائية جزء مهم من المساعدات الإنسانية وقد تم التلاعب بها بصورة كبيرة في الماضي. 3. إن البيئة السياسية الجديدة تفتح الفرصة لتحقيق أقصى قدر ممكن من الآثار الإيجابية للمساعدات الغذائية.
