Regional powers (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE) backing different sides risk proxy competition. Humanitarian collapse may trigger refugee flows affecting Egypt and neighboring states, complicating regional stability.
Similar to the 2003-2009 Darfur conflict, which displaced 2+ million and destabilized the region for years, creating refugee crises in Chad and Egypt while drawing international intervention.
