Abstract
The ongoing war in Sudan exposes the limits of international mediation efforts when stripped of political substance. In this blog, Jan Pospisil argues that current approaches reduce mediation to a technocratic exercise, where inclusion is invoked more as a legitimising slogan than a meaningful political act. To make a difference, mediation must re-engage with power, fragmentation, and the complex realities of Sudan’s political landscape.
