The Tactics Institute for Security and Counterterrorism calls on international authorities and regional governments to take immediate and decisive action to prevent the resurgence of al-Qaida in Sudan. The Institute urges all concerned parties to collaborate effectively to counteract this emerging threat, which poses a severe risk to regional and global security.
Over the past 15 months, Sudan has been engulfed in chaos and conflict, creating fertile ground for the return of al-Qaida. This alarming development coincides with the terrorist network’s efforts to bolster its presence across the Sahel and initiate attacks on maritime targets in the Red Sea. Experts warn that the instability in Sudan, exacerbated by economic turmoil, social unrest, and precarious borders with Libya, Chad, and Somalia, is a perfect storm for extremist activities.
The power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), controlled by Gen. Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, has created a significant power vacuum. This void has only intensified the country’s vulnerability, inviting terrorist organizations to exploit the situation.
The Tactics Institute emphasizes that the actions of these belligerent factions not only destabilize Sudan but also violate fundamental international rights and laws. The resurgence of al-Qaida in Sudan represents a direct threat to peace and stability, not just regionally but globally.
Al-Qaida’s historical ties to Sudan, coupled with recent efforts by prominent figures like Abu Hudhaifa al-Sudani to incite jihad, highlight the urgency of the situation. The Institute calls for the immediate cessation of hostilities and the establishment of a robust international response to secure Sudan’s borders, dismantle terrorist networks, and restore order.
The Tactics Institute for Security and Counterterrorism calls on all regional and international stakeholders to act swiftly to prevent the resurgence of al-Qaida in Sudan. The integrity of global security hinges on the collective ability to address this threat without delay.
