The Sudanese army’s recent military advances have depended on a fragile alliance with other armed factions united against a shared foe, but analysts warn the coalition could fracture once the conflict’s immediate threat diminishes. With competing interests and loyalties already surfacing, maintaining cohesion without a unifying enemy may prove difficult, raising concerns about future stability. The risk of infighting or shifting power dynamics could undermine hard-won battlefield progress if the alliance fails to solidify a lasting political or military agreement. Whether the army can consolidate its gains—or if the partnership unravels—will hinge on how effectively it manages the post-conflict transition.
Sudanese army's battlefield gains rely on an armed coalition it may struggle to control once the common enemy is gone.
