The Structural Crisis of the Sudanese State

Sudan is currently experiencing a complex crisis that surpasses any previous experience. Political complexities are intertwined with the eruption of armed conflicts and multiple armies. Furthermore, the intervention of regional and international powers. In this context, transitional justice becomes more than just a legal framework or a post-war phase. It is a strategic tool for peacebuilding and re-establishing the state. Traditional global models of transitional justice; from South Africa to Rwanda, cannot, on their own, encompass the complexities of Sudan. Whereas, individual and collective crimes intersect, state authority is absent, and actors without clear tribal or local affiliations emerge. Making impunity more likely, and complicating the process of building a sustainable peace, that guarantees lasting stability for the Sudanese state.
