A battle of egos and the struggle for power are at the center of the fighting in Sudan that's killed more than 400 people over the last seven days.
Al-Burhan dissolved the fragile power-sharing government between civilian parties and the military, issued a state of emergency and said the military would rule until elections were held — polls that never came. Al-Burhan was de facto ruler and Hemedti was his deputy.
While al-Burhan wanted to be the top military figure and the only one to report directly to the civilian government, Hemedti demanded to have his own direct channel to civilian leaders without having to go through the commander of the military, the senior U.S. official and another American official said.
But by then, the talks between the two generals had fallen apart, and both sides began to prepare for an armed confrontation, a separate source with knowledge of the situation told Axios.Al-Burhan, who feared an attack by Hemedti, began ordering reinforcements into Khartoum early last week, that source said.
"It is really the breakdown between two men who are now holding their entire country hostage and have brought significant damage and destruction to their country because they could not agree on a chain of command," one of the U.S. officials said.Since the fighting began, the U.S. and many of its allies and partners, including the U.K., Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Egypt, Norway, the African Union, and the UN have repeatedly called for a cease-fire.
