Nearly two weeks of fighting in Sudan has threatened to tear apart the country of 49 million people - and to further inflame conflicts within its neighbors' borders.
Sudan borders seven nations - Egypt, South Sudan, Chad, Central African Republic, Libya, Ethiopia and Eritrea - each of which have faced war, violent civil unrest or political upheaval in recent years. As hopes for a swift resolution in Sudan dim with each failed cease-fire, a "catastrophic conflagration" of the conflict could consume the region, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres warned this week.
