Public Policy: Beyond the Stalemate: Mitigating the Political Spoiling of Peace in Sudan's Conflict

This paper highlights how various political and military groups in Sudan have spoiled efforts to achieve peace during the ongoing conflict in Sudan, pointing at the failures of the international community’s approach for peace talks. To mitigate these spoiling behaviors, the paper suggests a two-track approach that keeps military talks separate from political discussions. This strategy aims to encourage more effective international engagement in the process and decrease the influence of spoiling in order to create a more positive environment for peace talks.
