I keep hearing it mentioned and the only stuff I can really find out about it are from questionable mainstream US sources, any insight as to whats going on there would be appreciated, thanks.

The RSF and the SAF are both backed by imperialist interests (the US has alternately sided with both factions, and are often opposed to KSA who also has backed the conflict). Ultimately, the goal seems to be to keep the country at war to maximize the waste commodity and open it up to complete dominance once both sides are weakened.

Partially explains why we hear next to nothing about it, though the US treats Africa as though it is in a different solar system 95% of the time anyway, the exceptions being when it is being 'exploited' by China.
