AB  - Sudan’s recent history has been marked by persistent instability caused by historically shaped internal and external factors which can be associated with the country’s colonial history, incomplete and problematic statebuilding processes, and the interactions of external actors with the country. Internally, Sudan has grappled with long-standing issues such as political and ethnic divisions, economic mismanagement, and social unrest, all of which have fueled discontent and volatility. After examining the internal factors affecting the country’s instability, the article delves into the external forces that have shaped Sudan’s trajectory, including regional conflicts, foreign interventions, and geopolitical interests. These factors have exerted significant influence on Sudan’s internal dynamics, exacerbating existing tensions and undermining attempts at stability. By analyzing the interplay between internal and external factors, the article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Sudan’s instability, highlighting the complex challenges that the country faces as it strives to achieve lasting peace, social cohesion, and sustainable development.
