Sudan stretches over almost half the western shores of the Red Sea, a vital artery for international trade. Around 30% of the global oil trade and 10% of international trade pass through this vital waterway. The former links IGAD with the West African Economic Community (ECOWAS). Thus, it is crystal-clear that regional and international stakes in Sudan’s stability cannot be overestimated. Besides the humanitarian and mediation support, Sudan urgently needs a smart economic and political partnership with the international community.
