Correct Answer:
A. Rapid Support Forces
The recent Sudanese Civil War, which erupted in April 2023, is fundamentally a power struggle between two major military factions: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
- A: Rapid Support Forces is the correct answer. The conflict is a direct confrontation between the SAF, the official army, and the RSF, a powerful paramilitary group that emerged from Janjaweed militias.
- B: United Nations is incorrect. The UN has a political mission (UNITAMS) in Sudan, but it is not a combatant in the civil war; rather, it seeks to support a political transition.
- C: African Union is incorrect. The AU has been involved in diplomatic efforts to mediate the conflict and promote peace, not as a warring party.
- D: Arab League is incorrect. The Arab League is a regional political organization and is not directly involved in the fighting.
