A breakaway country will be a fertile ground for terrorist organisation, instability and insecurity (AP)

Sudan has been ravaged by a heartbreaking humanitarian crisis. Millions are left with dwindling food and water supplies, medicines and fuel. Public health services are teetering on the brink of wholesale division and collapse.

A prolonged civil strife is unbearable to contemplate as Sudan has a strategic location on the Nile, neighbouring Ethiopia, Egypt and Chad. A breakaway country will be a fertile ground for terrorist organisations, instability and insecurity in Africa, and across the wider region. The world cannot afford another Ukraine in the making.
