Sudan has witnessed rapid developments in the Darfur region after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized control of Damra Mustariha on Monday, February 23, 2026, and before that, El Fasher, following the withdrawal of the last army stronghold from Darfur on October 26, 2025. This was a pivotal step that created a new reality and further complicated the Sudanese landscape, pushing Sudan towards a scenario similar to the Libyan scenario. The signs of a second split in Sudan have emerged, with two separate and conflicting governments, leaving the country and its people to suffer in the middle.

After America’s success in 2011 in separating South Sudan, it found its instrument in the RSF and used them in a plan to separate Darfur. It instigated a war between Burhan and Hemedti in 2023 and successfully managed it until the RSF seized control of the entire region. Thus, Sudan effectively had two governments: one in the west, the Darfur region, an area twice the size of Britain and equal to France, encompassing large parts of Kordofan, led by Hemedti. This government controlled most of Sudan’s production of rare minerals, such as gold and oil fields, which Trump coveted wherever they could be found; and another, second, government led by the army in the rest of Sudan.

America pursued this scenario based on the recommendations of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), established by Congress in 1984, whose directors include the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. At a workshop in Nairobi in April 2024, the Institute described the situation in Sudan as surpassing the Libyan scenario, being the most likely and worst, according to indicators on the ground (Al Jazeera, March 14, 2024). This institute is considered one of America’s tools for steering the course of war in the direction America desires. Following lengthy discussions held in the same workshop, the focus shifted to the existence of two governments in Sudan, which became the most likely and probable scenario. This is the same scenario that Trump’s senior advisor on Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, spoke of regarding the repetition of a Libyan scenario, related to the division of Sudan, in an interview with Al Arabiya channel on October 28, 2025.

America deliberately prolonged the war, which was expected. On May 4, 2023, less than a month after the war began, then-Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines stated: “The fighting in Sudan between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces is, we assess, likely to be protracted” (DW website).

The eminent scholar and Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, who exposed the conspiracies of the disbelievers in Muslim lands, had already stated that America wanted the two generals to prolong the war. In a publication dated April 25, 2023, just ten days after the war began, he said in point 4: “As for what is expected of the continuation of this clash and its outcome, as we mentioned, its purpose was to exclude Britain’s agents (the civil component of Freedom and Change and others), and although this was done or almost, but the precedent of the coup against the constitutional document and its exposure to the people makes America and its collaborators this time prolong the conflict to some extent, but out of hit-and-run rather than decisiveness.”

Thus, prolonging the war was the one of America’s styles for establishing the Libyan scenario. Massad Boulos emphasized that there is no military solution to this conflict, explaining that this war cannot be won militarily and that President Trump is completely against this principle and always prefers peaceful solutions (Al Jazeera, November 21, 2025). This is evident from the course of the battles since the outbreak of this accursed war! In the same interview, Boulos clarified that Washington has solutions and drafts ready, but the key lies in implementation, stressing that his country is in constant contact with both sides of the conflict in Sudan. He had also stated to Asharq Al-Awsat on October 28, 2025, that “the only solution and the only way forward is through peaceful solutions via dialogue.”

America has pursued a policy of perpetuating the war in Sudan, stalling on solutions and resorting to endless delays that have deafened politicians and observers of Sudanese affairs, all to consolidate the influence of America’s separatist ally, Hemedti. in Darfur.

The leadership of the army and the Rapid Support Forces are America’s men in Sudan. According to David Satterfield, who succeeded Feltman as Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa, in a study published by the Washington Institute,opined that Washington had only bad options in Sudan and was forced to make deals with the army. According to i24 News, Massad Boulos confirmed that the United States is in daily contact with both sides of the conflict, moving negotiations from Jeddah to Geneva to Cairo to Washington and elsewhere, not to find a solution, but to stall for one. They announced a quick truce on September 12, 2025, but we haven’t heard anything about it since, except in statements by Massad Boulos and his Quad!

These delaying tactics employed by the US are intended to give both governments, Burhan’s and Hemedti’s, time to consolidate their power, each within its respective areas of control. The transitional government has already begun to gain international acceptance, at least from countries allied with the US in the region. On Friday, February 20, 2026, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni received the entire transitional government, headed by Hemedti, at the state palace in Entebbe. Museveni wrote in a post on his official X platform that he affirmed during the meeting that dialogue and a peaceful political solution are the only paths to achieving sustainable stability for Sudan and the region (Sudan Tribune, February 20, 2026).

The current and future efforts of the US will not lead to a solution that satisfies the people of the country. Instead, they are mere chatter in hotel lobbies, on the banks of the Rhône River in Switzerland, in Zurich, in the resorts of Sharm El Sheikh, Washington, and elsewhere. All of this is happening until the time comes to carry out the crime of separating Darfur. Then America will find itself negotiating, gathering the parties to sign off on this crime, just as it did in South Sudan. If things proceed, Allah (swt) forbid, in this manner, America will continue to control this file until it is confident in its plan to separate Darfur.

It is extremely dangerous to deal with the colonialists, and allow the head of evil, America, to handle matters related to the security of Muslims and their other issues. Islam has forbidden the interference of non-Muslims in the domestic or foreign affairs of Muslims and has emphasized its prohibition. Allah (swt) said,

[وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً]

“And never will Allah (swt) give the disbelievers over the believers a way of authority” [TMQ Surah An-Nisa': 141]. The Islamic Ummah must sever the ties that allow the interference of the disbelieving Western colonialists in its lands, and this can only be achieved by establishing the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, which preserves the unity of the Ummah and the unity of the state. Allah (swt) said,

[وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَ قُلْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيباً]

“And they say, “When is that?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon” [TMQ Surah An-Isra': 51].
