Sudan can hold an important key for the future of the Middle East. While located inside Africa, Sudan has close ties to countries such as Libya, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others. Its government is seeking normalization with Israel, and whether it happens or not depends on the outcome of the current civil war. The General Security Services and the RSF are pro westernization, and they are battling forces inside that want to warm to Russia, China and Iran. The outcome could determine the course for Middle East Peace.
