Egypt is ramping up diplomatic pressure at the UN Security Council as Sudan’s civil war intensifies amid territorial gains by the Rapid Support Forces.
Egypt’s UN envoy, Ehab Awad, says Cairo is working with international partners to force an immediate ceasefire.
But on the ground, the peace efforts face a steep uphill battle.
Analysts point to a glaring lack of political will and a steady flow of foreign weapons that are only fueling the fire.
Right now, heavy fighting is escalating in North Kordofan and the city of El Obeid, driving up civilian casualties and triggering a massive humanitarian crisis.
Cairo is currently coordinating with the US, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey to revive stalled peace talks.
