- In predicate logic, an existential quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as “there exists”, “there is at least one”, or “for some”. It is usually denoted by the logical operator symbol ∃, which, when used together with a predicate variable, is called an existential quantifier ("∃x" or “∃(x)” or “(∃x)”). Existential quantification is distinct from universal quantification (“for all”), which asserts that the property or relation holds for all members of the domain. Some sources use the term existentialization to refer to existential quantification.

On April 15, 2023, fighting broke out in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an independent military force, and quickly spread across the country. This followed months of mounting tensions between SAF leader General Abdelfattah al-Burhan and RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (“Hemedti”) over the integration of the RSF into the SAF. Burhan and Hemedti had jointly carried out a military coup against the transitional government in October 2021.
