Sudan’s Impact on Africa By Amb. Innocent Eneta, Publisher Daily Global News
Sudan’s Impact on Africa By Amb. Innocent Eneta, Publisher Daily Global News
As the publisher of the Daily Global News and African Conflict exparte, I would like to draw attention to the ongoing crisis in Sudan and its potential impact on West Africa, Africa as a whole, and the global community. If the West African states and governments do not take action to address the conflict in Sudan and its associated activities, it could lead to more insecurity across the region, a shortage of food, increased sickness, diseases, hunger, child trafficking, sexual abuse, death, and economic hardship.
Background
The crisis in Sudan has been ongoing since the fall of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The transitional government that took over has been struggling to maintain stability in the country, particularly in the Darfur region, where a long-standing conflict has been ongoing. The situation has been complicated by the activities of various armed groups and militias, as well as the involvement of external powers, such as Russia and China.
Potential Impact on West Africa
The conflict in Sudan has the potential to spill over into West Africa, where several countries are already dealing with their own security challenges. Sudan shares borders with Chad, Libya, and Egypt, all of which have their own internal security concerns. The influx of refugees from Sudan could further strain the already fragile security situation in these countries.
Furthermore, the conflict in Sudan has the potential to disrupt regional food supply chains. Sudan is a major producer of agricultural commodities, such as wheat and sorghum, and any disruption to agricultural production could lead to a food crisis in the region. This could result in increased sickness, diseases, and hunger.
Child trafficking and sexual abuse could also become more prevalent in West Africa, as vulnerable populations are forced to flee their homes in search of safety. Women and children are particularly at risk of being subjected to exploitation and abuse in these circumstances.
Potential Impact on Africa and the Global Community
The conflict in Sudan could have wider implications for Africa as a whole, as it could lead to the destabilization of the continent. Africa is already grappling with several security challenges, and the addition of another conflict could lead to a wider security crisis.
The African Union must take decisive action to address the conflict in Sudan and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the continent. The international community can play a role in supporting the efforts of the African Union, as well as providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict.
Furthermore, the conflict in Sudan could have a global impact, as it could provide a breeding ground for terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS. If the conflict continues to simmer, it could provide these groups with the opportunity to regroup and launch attacks against the West. This would have implications for global security and could lead to a wider security crisis.
Economic Impact
The conflict in Sudan could also have significant economic consequences. Sudan is a major producer of oil, and disruptions to oil production could have an impact on global oil prices. This would have implications for global economic growth and stability.
Moreover, the conflict in Sudan could lead to an increase in the flow of refugees and migrants to other parts of Africa and Europe. This could lead to increased pressure on the economies of host countries, particularly in Europe, which is already dealing with its own migration challenges.
Recommendations
Given the potential impact of the conflict in Sudan on West Africa, Africa as a whole, and the global community, it is imperative that action be taken to address the situation. The following are some recommendations for West African states and governments, the African Union, and the international community:
Diplomatic engagement: West African states and governments, the African Union, and the international community should engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Sudan. This could involve mediation, dialogue, and negotiation.
Humanitarian assistance: The international community should provide humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict in Sudan. This could include food aid, medical supplies, and shelter.
Support for peacekeeping: The African Union and the international community should support peacekeeping efforts.
The conflict in Sudan has the potential to have far-reaching consequences for West Africa, Africa as a whole, and the global community.
The conflict could exacerbate existing security challenges, lead to food shortages, and increase the incidence of sickness, diseases, child trafficking, sexual abuse, and economic hardship.
It is therefore imperative that West African states and governments, the African Union, and the international community take decisive action to address the situation in Sudan.
This could involve diplomatic engagement, humanitarian assistance, support for peacekeeping efforts, and increased efforts to prevent the spread of terrorism in the region.
Failure to address the situation in Sudan could have significant implications for regional and global security, economic stability, and human welfare. It is therefore in the interest of all stakeholders to work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Sudan.

APC Group Endorses Fubara for 2027, Calls on Tinubu and APC to Prioritise Performance Over Politics in Backing Governor’s Second Term Ambition
*APC Group Endorses Fubara for 2027, Calls on Tinubu and APC to Prioritise Performance Over Politics in Backing Governor’s Second Term Ambition*
The APC National Vanguard has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support a second term in office for Siminalayi Fubara, citing what it described as “impressive and verifiable developmental strides” across Rivers State.
In a statement issued on Thursday by its National President, Dr Gbenga Salam (JP), the group said its position followed an extensive assessment tour of key infrastructure and public service projects executed under the Fubara administration.
The APC National Vanguard said the appeal was based strictly on performance, arguing that governance outcomes should outweigh partisan considerations, particularly in a state as economically significant as Rivers.
“We respectfully urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to support the continuity of Governor Siminalayi Fubara beyond his current tenure, in recognition of his commitment to development, prudent resource management, and people-focused governance,” the statement read.
According to the group, its delegation visited multiple project sites across the state, observing ongoing and completed works spanning road construction, urban renewal, and public infrastructure upgrades.
It noted that the scale and distribution of these projects reflect a deliberate effort by the state government to extend development beyond traditional urban centres and into underserved communities.
“Our findings from the tour reveal a government that is not only active but intentional in its development agenda. The execution of capital projects across various parts of Rivers State demonstrates a clear understanding of the needs of the people and a commitment to addressing them,” Dr Salam said.
The group particularly commended what it described as prudent financial management by the administration, noting that the projects reviewed showed evidence of careful planning and efficient allocation of resources.
“At a time when economic pressures are evident across the country, it is commendable that the Rivers State government has managed its resources in a way that delivers visible and impactful development without signs of fiscal recklessness,” the statement added.
The APC National Vanguard further observed that despite political tensions in the state, the Fubara administration has maintained focus on governance, ensuring continuity in project execution and service delivery.
The group argued that such stability is critical for sustained development and should be encouraged rather than disrupted.
“Leadership must ultimately be judged by results. In Rivers State, there is clear evidence of progress—projects that are not only announced but executed, and policies that translate into real benefits for citizens,” Dr Salam noted.
The group warned that discontinuity in leadership could stall ongoing projects and reverse gains already recorded, stressing the importance of allowing a performing administration to consolidate its achievements.
“Rivers State is at a pivotal stage where continuity will allow for the completion of ongoing initiatives and the deepening of development gains. Supporting Governor Fubara for a second term is, therefore, a decision in the best interest of the people,” the statement said.
In addition to its call on the APC leadership, the group reaffirmed its support for President Tinubu, expressing confidence in his administration’s broader economic and governance reforms.
The APC group urged Nigerians to remain supportive of efforts aimed at stabilising the economy and strengthening public institutions.
“We reiterate our endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office, in recognition of his leadership and commitment to national development. With sustained support, the administration can consolidate its reform agenda for the benefit of all Nigerians,” Dr Salam added.
The APC National Vanguard concluded by calling on political actors to prioritise development and public interest over partisan divides, insisting that governance should always be guided by performance and accountability.
“Where leadership demonstrates prudence, delivers development, and remains focused on the welfare of the people, it deserves continuity. This is the position we have reached after a careful and independent assessment of Rivers State,” the statement added.
*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase
Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.
Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.
Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.
From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.
This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework
