00:00 The conflict in Sudan, now in its seventh month, is getting closer to South Sudan and
00:05 threatening to spill over.
00:07 Addressing the United Nations in September, one of the belligerents was well aware of
00:11 the risk.
00:12 "The danger of this war is now a threat to regional and international peace and security,
00:21 as those rebels have sought the support of outlaws and terrorist groups from different
00:26 countries in the region and the world."
00:31 Since April, fighting has raged in heavily populated areas between the forces of Army
00:35 Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who commands
00:41 the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary.
00:43 The struggle between the two has crippled essential services in Sudan and razed entire
00:47 neighborhoods of the capital and the western region of Darfur.
00:52 More than 10,000 have been killed, according to conservative estimates, and the UN says
00:56 more than six million people have been forced to flee, both within and outside Sudan.
01:00 "We come from Karcho, we are suffering a lot.
01:04 We have here about 11 days without food, without water, even without basic needs, there is
01:12 nothing."
01:14 For weeks, the RSF has been advancing on army bases in Darfur, a region scarred by decades
01:19 of conflict and atrocities committed against civilians.
01:22 Meanwhile, both sides have positioned themselves as peacemakers in negotiations in Saudi Arabia.
01:27 In previous negotiations, every agreed truce was almost immediately violated by both sides.
