    The ultimate tragedy about the Sudan Civil War is that it's not even between an evil government and rebel fighters; instead it's a fight where both sides are absolutely vile and have committed truly despicable acts. No matter which side wins, the Sudanese people are the ones who lose.

      Yes the Sudanese army has blood on its hands but unlike the RSF, they don't rape and kill just because they can.
      I lived in Khartoum my whole life under the army, i left out of fear when the RSF took control.

      It's a war between rival imperial factions with blatantly selfish motivations. Both factions are driven by a mix of greed and ego, with contempt for all Sudanese institutions and the people that comes pretty close to nihilism.

      True. Sudan is one of the most corrupt countries in the world according to Transparency International, and the last assessment only considered data from May 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023 (the previous year's May to the end of the next year's April is the methodology). So, it's probably even worse now.

      You could even say this about the Middle East as well. Both of these regions are actual victims of post-colonial carelessness and international meddling to undermine legitimately elected governments.

    The world brings food and supplies to Gaza for the Palestinians... Hamas seizes those shipments, and the Palestinians suffer anyway. If aid was brought to Sudan during a conflict, one of the two warring factions would seize it, just like in Gaza. The only way to get the aid to the people is to _ALSO_ provide military security... which would then escalate to fighting. If you follow this logic, then that means the only way to solve this problem is for the world to end the war in Sudan... _with more war._
    AND, if the world did that, it would have to keep troops there *permanently,* since the instant the troops are withdrawn, the fighting resumes. And this is not idle speculation. Look at Nigeria - it's only had one peaceful turnover in its history. Every other time has been a coup through force.
    If you're unwilling to permanently -- _PERMANENTLY_ -- keep troops there, then why intervene at all? Nothing else will work.

      @@alperakyuz9702It’s very much a correlation thing, and within regions, the correlation isn’t particularly strong. European countries with growing populations are doing better than those with shrinking populations, for instance, and that’s true even if you ignore immigration and focus solely on birthrates.
      It’s more that the least developed countries are the least far along in the modern transition to a low-fertility norm, yet they all have some access to modern medicine and basic medical knowledge, so *very* high population growth rates do imply some level of poverty, which in turn causes instability. But high population growth by itself is only a driver of conflict if a country’s government is too sclerotic and repressive to allow private industry to access the booming workforce and translate that population growth into economic dynamism.

    This isnt exactly a new thing. People dying in hunger in large numbers was an every day news in 80's. Africa has received incredible amount of support over decades. A thousand billion dollars limit broke many, many decades a go. I do not even know how much has been sent by 2024. Problems stem from corruption, African leaders listening to Soviet Union back in the day when west wanted Africa to invest in agriculture, but CCCP had other plans. West also wantes to teach Africans to govern themselves, but communists brainwashed their puppets to see that as "western imperialism" and got African leaders to shy away from it. CCCP has a big role in how things are in Africa, but you never hear about that, only what soviet propaganda "taught" people about " western imperislism". Again, those you actually tried to help, got ridiculed.

      This is a weird right-wing American narrative that wants to make poverty in Africa about socialism, while completely ignoring plenty of countries like the DROC, Nigeria, Liberia, etc allied with the West and ended up just as poor. Sudan was never a communist state, and it's also not really sub-Saharan Africa.
      But more significantly, your narrative relies on the premise that Africa has not improved at all in the past few decades, and that just isn't true. Most of Africa has improved vastly since the 90s in terms of life expectancy, GDP, literacy, HDI etc. Life expectancy under 50 is basically unheard of these days. Africa is not perfect, but the idea it hasn't gotten any better is wrong.

      Local warlords and corrupt officials steal everything sent. Very common in africa

      It's more difficult than you think. Someone has to actually let you fly the supplies out of their country, and many won't want to do that if it will cause issues with the eventual government of Sudan.

      Also airlift is rather inefficient, boats and rails are the only way to get truly large quantities of supplies moved around. Once you drop humanitarian assistance, what control do you have of it getting to where it is needed, of it not being looted by the warring parties?

      Well, airlifts are incredibly inefficient for moving in astronomical amounts of aid supplies, even the berlin airlift was considered one of the greatest logistical triumohs of all time, snd it fed a city, not a nation. Moreover the hard part isnt bringing food to the ports or railway stations or airfields, the hard part is being able to distribute the aid to renote villages or towns controlled by warring militas without getting shot at or looted.

      They could, It would be very expensive. But nobody cares unless Jews are involved.
