Mutual aid networks fill state void in Sudan's war
Original: How the war in Sudan is teaching society to govern without the state https:// wagingnonviolence.org/2026/09/ sudan-mutua
As war in Sudan collapses state infrastructure and public services, mutual aid networks have stepped in to provide food, care and coordination, with communities effectively learning to govern themselves without the state. The article from Waging Nonviolence argues this civic self-organisation could shape Sudan's future long after the fighting ends, though it also raises questions about resilience and sustainability amid ongoing conflict.
Why now: Renewed attention on Sudan's devastating civil war has sparked discussion of how ordinary people cope when the state fails.
