The research examines the complex limitations of Sudanese foreign policy in light of the current transformations and chaos in Sudan, as well as its peripheral role as a strategic focus for managing international competition over Sudanese resources. The research emphasises the geopolitical and geo-security dimensions that impact Sudan's position.
It also investigates the challenges and opportunities facing Sudan, particularly in the context of international and regional competition. It also considers the importance of strengthening strategic partnerships to achieve sustainable development and political stability.
The research adopted an analytical approach to understand the dynamics of influence on Sudan from the perspective of international relations theories.
The "Bridge and Resource" strategy was adopted as a central concept, enhancing Sudan's role as a strategic link between international powers and neighboring countries. Such a strategy enables Sudan to optimally utilize its natural resources and geographical location within the international competition.
The research ultimately provides an integrated vision for managing geopolitical and geo-security challenges. Such a vision combines theoretical frameworks of international relations with a diplomatic approach. This combination tool balances national interests and regional integration to maximize the benefits of Sudan's geographic location and resources.
In the end, the research concludes that the bridge and resource theory helps Sudan maintain balanced relations and a state of competent investment. The research also finds that such a strategy based on this theory provides Sudan with a preferable passage for Africa. As such, Sudan gains more flexibility in its relations with different superpowers.
