The article outlines the role of the EU in resolving the armed conflict in the western Sudanese province of Darfur, and explains the important role played by the EU in its engaged in peacekeeping and that guided his condition, as well as how it actions and decisions were received by the Darfurians and the government in Khartoum. Unfortunately, the nature and progress of the conflict, and above all, the great ignorance of the region and the population, makes all attempts to resolve the conflict are ineffective. Through these years, the EU has introduced a number of resolutions, declarations and sanctions. All this was not only to save the life of hundreds of thousands of civilians, but also opposition to the regime and impact on its interests. Unfortunately, there was no general coordination of EU the actions, not only in Darfur, but also in the whole of Sudan. That resulting chaos in actions related to the quality of cooperation between the EU bodies. There was no close co-operation aimed at planning of aid from the United Nations, also because it was a kind of rivalry between EU and UN organizations who want to be seen as a major mediator in peacekeeping.

Many researchers seek to identify the most common factors that may increase the risk of wars, including civil wars. However, analysing the causes and economic drivers of conflict is receiving increasing attention, especially concerning civil wars in the poorest regions. The main purpose of this article is to present the process of creating armed groups in Darfur, as well as their ideology, internal divisions, stages of conflict and the emergence of these groups. This study attempted to analyse the motives and objectives of Darfuri rebel groups. Using a model created by Spittaels and Hilgert, we explain the relations between events on the ground and the motives and objectives behind the waging of a war, which in future could make it easier to outline the essence of the conflict.

For 30 years, Sudan was ruled by one man – Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir. He went down in history as a dictator. His rule was marked by terror, persecution and suffering. Bashir’s regime led to the displacement of millions, the death of thousands, poverty, a humanitarian and economic crisis in the country, and he was indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and genocide. With the fall of Bashir, there was a short-lived hope for a better future. But it was an illusory hope. The country’s political scene has been taken over by the military, which is still in power despite announcements that it would hand over power to civilians. The purpose of this article is to analyze the political and social situation that led to the fall of the Bashir regime and the current political situation under the military junta. The analysis is based solely on information gathered from open sources of intelligence (OSINT).

Following its independence in 1956, Sudan confronted the tasks of constructing a distinct national identity, establishing effective governance and economic systems, and addressing internal ethnic conflicts stemming from the condominium era. In terms of ethnicity, the post-colonial history of Sudan can be segmented into two phases: sectarian politics, primarily observed in northern Sudan from 1956 to 1999, with the south not experiencing sectarianism in the same manner; and ethnic politics prevalent in South Sudan from 1955 to 2011 and in North Sudan from 1999 to the present. However, the postcolonial history of Sudan is actually a replay of a set of patterns that kept governing the politics of the country for centuries.
