Abstract :

The ongoing Sudanese civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has had profound impacts on the country’s economy, services, and community. The crisis has also resulted in a spillover effect, with millions of refugees being displaced into neighboring countries such as Egypt, South Sudan, and Chad. This review presents the history and key findings of the conflict, including the current state of agriculture, health, education, and industry. The ongoing civil war in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has deepened long-standing political instability and generated severe economic, social, and humanitarian consequences within Sudan and across North Central Africa. The central objective of this paper is to examine how conflict and internal political instability in Sudan shape economic outcomes, public service provision, and vulnerability both domestically and in neighbouring host states. Drawing on a narrative review of academic literature, policy reports, and humanitarian data, the paper analyses three interconnected themes: food security, public services, and humanitarian impacts. The findings show that conflict-induced disruption of agriculture, health, education, and industry has accelerated economic contraction, weakened state capacity, and intensified food insecurity and gender-based violence. Largescale displacement has further redistributed these pressures to countries such as Egypt, South Sudan, and Chad, where limited absorptive capacity amplifies regional instability.
