1. Read the International Crisis Group (ICG) report "https://www.crisisgroup.org/global/10-conflicts-watch-2025."
2. Write on the SUDAN conflict.
3. Identify two major issues or conditions the authors in this ICG report suggest would cause this conflict to escalate.
Only authorized sources (Must cite each source at least once):
-Sudan facing humanitarian crisis of “epic proportions”

Answer all the following questions using the journal articles to support your responses. Please include subheadings in your paper so you and I can easily see where you answered each of these questions:
(a) Do you agree or disagree with the authors in the reasons why they are concerned about the conflict?
(b) What is the basis for the conflict in the two issues that you've identified?
(c) Are the issues common in the international community?
(d) If the issues are commonly found in the international community, then give some examples. If they are not, then discuss why this country or area is different than what we see elsewhere.
(e) Given the basis for the conflict and the issues you have identified, what type of intervention would you argue as most effective in resolving this conflict? We've explored methods such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, sanctions, a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation peacekeeping operation, or a peace enforcement operation (i.e., a military intervention without the consent of the host state, such as that which might be authorized under R2P). Please explain why.
