As a Tanzanian I just wish our brothers in South Sudan the best, studied with many in Kenya, they were good friends we just had good friendship between them and Tanzanians
This channel might be one of my favorite lucky finds on UA-cam. Most of these stories lack proper exposure in the west and I enjoy the amount of detail and context you provide. Also the fact there's so much archival footage available (assuming that's what's being used for visuals and not just stock footage) is amazing.
I wish I could state my level of disappointment with the levels and years of fighting for basically nothing. I know this is not your doing and I know there have been incredible highs for the Sudanese people. However this "separation" is not about cooperation but "power". It is not Africa which started these wars and religious postures. It was the racist West. Weapons, Slavery, Resource appropriation...There is no South and North Sudan and Islam along with Christianity are a madness Sudan should expunge forever. This was and is senseless and based on Self hate. I really haven't been this sad in a while. Great Documentary which is very informative and to you @PeaceKeeper2000 I wish Love, Peace, and Ubuntu. I am coming to Sudan. I in all seriousness want a unified Africa. Al lthat is necessary is to unhand ourselves of the racist dogma which does not come from us.
I respect your opinion but I think you are just eager to see things happen overnight and I can't even deny the fact that this government is not what our fathers expected it be but you can still agree that separation was the best thing to ever happen to the southerns.without the west still we could have rebelled the northerners.let me ask you a question,if you claim its the west propaganda then tell me why are the northerners still killing the their upto date?why is the government killing people from darfor and the nubians from kordofan region? brother despite the southerners being uncivilized,the Islamist had no right to put their stupid laws .I was born in a foreign nation and I've been home for 2 months only but I'll never regret the decision of my fathers.@@lesserlight
@@majah4,thanks South Sudan🇸🇸🦾 for explaining it politely as possible but Sudanese people never understand what our people went through for decades to be respected, and gained dignity😢. I can go on, God is our witness✝️❤️🙏
Islam, Chritstianity, and Judaism are problematic because they are warlike theologies made to turn a logical mind illogical. These are Not African devices and need to be expunged from the continent. Meanwhile the West places African artifacts in museums and economic exchange.
Some how the funders of these groups are mainly the same folks that colonized, the European colonials. They create these groups... burkino faso already exposed them, u are at sleep and have hate for Muslims, that's what's blinding u yet u ignore it because of arrogance...
You did it again! Congratulations my brother. Salute to the whole Africa! We have to cherish ourselves and realize we as people are the number one resource.
I really appreciate this documentary! I've taught refugees from South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains, and their story is one the world at large refuses to hear. That being said, I have one issue with your framing of the early history of South Sudan in the early part of the video. I would not say that the ethnic groups of South Sudan existed in "relative harmony". The Nuer Conquest (1820-1890) was one of the largest and most violent episodes of warfare ever recorded between two nomadic/transhumant societies. Over a period of 70 years, the Nuer expanded their territory fourfold, displacing and assimilating their Dinka and Anuak neighbors, often selling captured men to European and Turko-Arabic slavers and taking captured women as wives and concubines. The expansions would almost certainly have continued for even longer had they not been halted in 1890 by the Mahdist War. Omitting this history in a documentary about South Sudan is really surprising, because without this context, you cannot appreciate the deep roots of the modern-day inter-ethnic violence and resentment that often sadly exists between Nuer, Dinka, and Anuak peoples. There's a good book on the conflict, "The Nuer Conquest: The Structure and Development of an Expansionist System", by Raymond C. Kelly (1985), although Kelly discusses the war primarily through the lens of theoretical anthropology and ethnography rather than history and modern African politics.
Thanks for this comment. This is a great channel, but sometimes glosses over the pre-colonial history that gives real context to the dynamics of the modern Era. Truth is, pre-colonial history is hardly taught in my country and when it is, it's highly summarized (probably the same in other African countries). So outside University's, little is known by African's about their own history...it has lead to a tragic loss of identity, the acceptance of a colonial identity rooted in inferiority. I've gone on a bit of a rant, but bear with me 😅
‘European’ slavers in the Sudan in the mid to late nineteenth century ? I’m afraid that that seems rather improbable. Or simply unlikely. Any verification available on that ? Sound & solid sources ?…
From 1955--2005 it's the longest civil war in history my grandparents born in war fleeing thousands time growing up as refugees almost all our life the impact of the war is still visible and we're still facing the marginalisation left during those turbulent time. As a South Sudanese i know one day over lasting peace will come to our motherlands
The work of this channel is truly underrated, I had very little knowledge on the situation in South Sudan until finding it this my UA-cam feed. A blessing of knowledge in a world with so many voices but so little understanding, thank you to the team for what they do ❤ edit: I am bad at grammar 😅
Always looking forward to your videos. It has been outstanding to learn over the years about the different histories behind the numerous states that form the African continent on this channel. Cheers!
I have watched this with much sadness and hope all Together. I am proud of the steps they've taken and as your jiranis here in Kenya 🇰🇪 we wish you well and much prosperity
Thank you for summarizing our history struggles against all odds to get our independent country today called South Sudan 🇸🇸, yes we have internal problems in South Sudan🇸🇸today but we shall too overcome them going forward 🙏.
The best decision South Sudan ever did was secede from the Muslim North. They would be embroiled in the ongoing conflict and it would even be worse. South Sudan has a chance of developing now, unlike the north that will forever be embroiled in Muslim conflicts
I've been watching these docs for about a year or so now and they are fantastic. Very interesting and very well put together and narrated. Keep up the great work!
Am a proud Kenyan seeing my brothers liberated at last. Kenya fully participated till the end....that flag resembles Kenya and we love our suddanesse brothers
We the Southerners know that people of Uganda and Kenya are our brothers but during the first Sudanese civil war most of our leaders first went to Uganda and Kenya but those governments were hostile to our rebels and some of our leaders were sent back to Khartoum and tortured and killed and finally went to Congo and got welcomed and got some guns and hope so you know that we are very closely related to you but you were under British and American that support Sudan during that time
It doesn't matter whenever getting independce from northren sudan was good or bad decision. It had to be done, regardless of results. Arab ethnocentrism and Islamic fundamentalism killed Sudan. Nuer, Dinka and other ethnicities are christians and animists. There was no way for Sudan to stay united.
Wow. Thank you for a wonderful and comprehensive history of Sudan . I am Kenyan American, and I have always wanted to visit Sudan. It appears that the Northerners have had a choke hold on the South for a long time, and I am glad that South Sudan finally liberated themselves from this oppression. The politics of Africa is complicated by foreign interference, and I hope one day Africa can get it right. Respect and acknowledgement that we are over 3,000 Traditional Ancient Nations, all looking for self determination must be the focus of discussion. We cannot continue under the 54 artificial territories designed in Berlin in 1885. These were designed to benefit Europe no Africa. Once we give independence to all the Ancient Nations, then we will have solved the issue of power sharing and equal distribution of resources, as each region will be responsible for its own destiny. It is true that others will be wealthier than others, however, we must appreciate that without such acknowledgement of self determination, for all Traditional Nations on the Continent, we cannot sit down and honestly discuss African Unity. The problem of Sudan is the same problem of Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa , DRC, Ethiopia, Somalia and many others. We have one group actively engaged in dominating another, and that is not sustainable.
Am happy South Sudan broke away from the Arab North who treated them as sub humans and exploited their mineral resources for their use because they were non Muslims and black. Kudos to South Sudan for fighting for its independence. I couldn't have imagined what would have happened if they were part of Sudan now that they are fighting themselves.
@@mahalallel2012 in practicality it is not! Once you are not in their circles they regard you as an infidel. Please read the Quranic versus in Surah chapter five
Islam is a peaceful religion, that doesn't mean you can't have problems within because human beings are always greedy and ready to exploit one another. When you want to understand Islam, you have to go to the source, not by merely looking at the Muslims just as if you want to understand Christianity you must go to the Bible.
Why ? Your continent is blessed with more of an abundance of resources than almost anywhere else . Independence was either obtained or simply granted over half a CENTURY ago ! Are Africans also given to playing the same tune as impoverished Arabs, or South Asian Muslims ?..That they still suffer from ‘neo-colonialism’ ?
Real shame that independence was immediately followed by a new protracted brutal civil war in South Sudan, but at least that spared them from the entirely separate current brutal civil war in Sudan.
In Sudan/Lower Egypt along the Nile the Luo-Shilluk Kingdom under Reth in 639-645AD fought the Turco-Egyptian rulers of Egypt and conducted raids on the Arab north therefore slavery did not advance southward into East Africa . The Dinka, Luo and Nuer created fierce warrior classes and these conflicts spilled over into modern times with the first Sudan civil war(1955-1971) known as Anyanya I rebellion against Arab North .
The Nilotic Luo,Dinka,Nuer and other groups in Sudan stopped the Arab advancement and occupation southwards into Sudan . And in recent times after The Luo of Sudan,The Luo-Jor Chul,Luo-Pari,Luo-Thuri,Luo-Balanda,Luo-Kumam,Luo-Shilluk,Luo-Anuak together with Dinka,Nuer and other groups resisted Egyptian and British rule the same way they had stopped Arab enslavement .
By 1956 Sudan Independence Civil conflict had broken out hence the Anyanya I rebellion from 1955-1972 against the Arab North Sudan . Anyanya II would later follow with 64 ethnic groups in Sudan against the Arab North
I'm a Dinka Bor-man, a Jesh El Amer and a "Lost Boy of Sudan", and my heart bleeds when I see our people suffer. It really hurts when you see pain and xant doanything about it.
As New Generation African, it's unbelievable what happens to our people in past but. Like they say in the end we all become story's let's make our this time a greater than before...
What depressing about South Sudan, is that it literally went through a civil war immediately after independence. I know the civil war ended, but the situation is still unstable and unsafe correct? As of now I have no knowledge of South Sudan’s current state. Does anyone have any info?
(time stamp 9:07) The British caused similar problems in Gold Coast/Ghana. At the Achimota conference 1956, they offered post-independence autonomy for Ashanti which was accepted first, and then dishonored by Nkrumah's government after independence 9:30. This ethno-tribal issue has always shadowed and polarized politics in Ghana since then.
The British are really to blame for setting up the messy division between the north and southern parts of the then Sudan (time stamp 8:44) . Just as they created a mess in Middle East and many other places that they exploited.
My goats, my sheep, all gone for a good cause. Just before I left home in 1987, I used to take my sheep and goats to Werkok to drink, but there were always SPLA soldiers waiting to pick the fattest sheep or goat. I would always go home crying and my father would hold me and says, "It's okay. They only took one". I then realised that SPLA was never paid and their food was from goat-naping or sheep-naping. The next rime I took my goats and sheep ro Werkok, I even helped a SPLA soldier to pick a goat to take. One by one, all were gone and my dad never even got angry but I was mad, because I was a kid and did not understnd why an army would eat all my goats and aheep.
Nice documentary ,I have learned that main cause for the split of the Sudan was north Sudan "afro Arabs " forcing Islam on south Sudanese Christians or people practicing traditional religions , the south Sudanese could not accept this new religion being forced on them which led to war and finally separation from the North Sudan
غير صحيح السودان مسلمين ولا زالوا يتقاتلون السبب هو المصالح الشخصية والثروة والسياسية والكونغو مسيحيين ومع ذلك يتقاتلون كذلك روسيا وأوكرانيا الإعلام الغربي يحاول بث الكراهية والحقد بين الشعوب والدول النامية بقدر ماكانت العبودية منتشرة بين كل الشعوب بسبب الحروب فالمنتصرين بدل قتل الرجال المهزومين ربما يتم الاستفادة منهم في البناء الزراعة أو الرعي أو الخدمة ..... ولكن هذا صار من الماضي لانه كان لا يوجد قانون ولا دول ولا حدود ومع ذلك فإسرائيل اليوم تفعل أكثر بكثير ولا ينتقدها الإعلام الغربي.
@@ahmaddo5946 Islam is not to blame, but Arab supremacy is; the racism, the slave raids and the annexation of large Southern territories were the main reasons for the war
@@ahmaddo5946everywhere islam is, there is war. Only Malaysia is at peace, and that is a secular government. Israel doesn't enslave people, arabs enslave people. Not everyone is stupid enough to believe what you said. Islam must keep to itself! Let people be free! But no, islam and arabs must always cause trouble.
When the Arabs conquered Egypt in 639 to 649 AD they attempted to advance Southwards into Sudan but were stopped by Nilotic and Nilo-Saharan groups hence slavery did not spread into the interior like in West Africa . Portuguese managed to capture slaves in Angola and Congo but were unable to spread into the interior where hostile Nilotic groups such as the Dinka, Nuer, Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Luo, Karamoja existed in North East and East Africa .
The North East and East Africa region was dominated by Nilotic, Nilo-Saharan, Nilo-Cushitic and Cushitic groups before Bantu migrations into the region from Central Africa including the Congo . Nilotic groups such as the Maasai, Luo, Dinka, Nuer, Nyamanga, Turkana, Karamoja, Toposa etc did not practice slavery and shunned slavery or resisted enslavement and some Nilotic Kingdoms in Sudan/Egypt, Ethiopia and Uganda stopped slavery .
The White Portuguese ,Spanish and English slave traders attempted to enslave the Banyarwanda in the 18th and 19th century but failed . King Rwabugiri IV was the first to come into contact with the white Europeans resisting slavery and preserving Rwanda's borders . To this Day Rwanda is similar to an ethno-nation state in the continent .
In recent times in 1964 a Uganda Luo-Langi John Gideon Okello staged a revolution in Zanzibar that stopped more than 500 years of Omani Arab Subjugation and enslavement of the black bantu populations . The Omani Arab Sultan Jamshid Bin Adullah fled Zanzibar after the revolution in January 1964 to the UK and 17,000 arabs died in Zanzibar. Tanzania was then formed from this Unification of Zanzibar and Tanganyika .
@@papd3532 The Luo nilotes also migrated much later than the Bantu from northern Uganda and South Sudan. Some of them like the Masai absorbed cushites like the yaaku people.
@@papd3532 In East Africa the slavers were mostly Arab-Swahili, not Europeans. And by the time Europeans made it in the interior slavery had already been abolished.
The Nuer were selling Dinka and Anuak men to Europeans and Turku-Arabic while keeping the women for themselves. Even though this sounds like its tribe vs tribe its actually tribal conflict based on foreign influence. And how come the Dinka keep getting stepped on all throughout their history as framed via your comment and this video? Tell me a story or pure tribal wars in Africa that have zero to foreign influence and are significant in damage and amount of people mistreated by near by tribes? I will wait....
The Nuer had a brief moment of dominance (mostly confined to Upper Nile) in the late 1800s, while the Dinka had their period of dominance in the 13th and 15th Centuries.
You didn't go into how Christianity also ruined Sudan and now South Sudan is a graveyard. Islam ruined it from the North, and Christianity is destroying Sudanese people. Only the Sudanese people can correct this, but they have to work from the past to the now to differentiate.
SURELY MR THIS CHANNEL DOCUMENTS OF 20th CENTURY EVENTS ON AFRICAN IS IMPORTANT BUT HOW YOU DESCRIBING IS TESTING ALMOST 2 PROBLEMS 1. MUSLIM DID WRONG THING 2. CLEANING COLONIAL POWER DID WRIGHT THING I think your country's colonised white man still influences your educational curriculum .
South Sudanese are cush aka hamite not black Israelite, This is Sudanese aka men of statue the real pharaoh lineage Read isaiah 45 vs 14 and Exodus 11 vs 7
The story of South Sudan is about people rejecting to be free servants of God and accepting slavery to every thing else: the stones, the animals, the trees and the dead.
The story of South Sudan is the story of Africans who choose to remain faithful to their Christian beliefs and reject the falsehoods of the north who confuse themselves to be Arabs
@@IdidntplayballNah we didn't choose slavery , we chose freedom your claim of we not choosing to be servants of God is pathetic. We chose not to be slaves to the Arabs who regarded us slaves, If they wanted to convert us then why not do it peacefully be persuasion rather than violence and destruction? Is that how peaceful Islam is?
@@Ididntplayball God also doesn't condone forced conversion, as written in 2:256 and 2:285, and a portion of the latter reads as "They believe in God, His Angels, His Books, and His messengers." Notice that it says Books, plural rather than singular, thus recognizing the Torah and Gospels, as all three have overlap with messengers and prophets, peace be upon them. And God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
As a Tanzanian I just wish our brothers in South Sudan the best, studied with many in Kenya, they were good friends we just had good friendship between them and Tanzanians
Asante sana ndugu for that awesome comment.
This channel might be one of my favorite lucky finds on UA-cam. Most of these stories lack proper exposure in the west and I enjoy the amount of detail and context you provide. Also the fact there's so much archival footage available (assuming that's what's being used for visuals and not just stock footage) is amazing.

The independence has never been beneficiary, they immediately started fighting against themselves
I love my country s,Sudan juba❤😂🎉😢😮😅😮
Thanks for this narrative, this is the real history.
And the country has known no peace, very unfortunate
My goats, my sheep, all gone for a good cause. Just before I left home in 1987, I used to take my sheep and goats to Werkok to drink, but there were always SPLA soldiers waiting to pick the fattest sheep or goat. I would always go home crying and my father would hold me and says, "It's okay. They only took one".
I then realised that SPLA was never paid and their food was from goat-naping or sheep-naping. The next rime I took my goats and sheep ro Werkok, I even helped a SPLA soldier to pick a goat to take. One by one, all were gone and my dad never even got angry but I was mad, because I was a kid and did not understnd why an army would eat all my goats and aheep.
So sad so sad why afican we are dividing
African Biographics migh i ask you a question, which country are you from? are you a Kenyan.
one thing is a big lie, the south sudanese strongly opposed the slave trade. and they were never any south sudanese ever sold as slaves
Good for the British, preventing the toxicity of Islam. We all wish they'd do that today.
Nice documentary ,I have learned that main cause for the split of the Sudan was north Sudan "afro Arabs " forcing Islam on south Sudanese Christians or people practicing traditional religions , the south Sudanese could not accept this new religion being forced on them which led to war and finally separation from the North Sudan
غير صحيح السودان مسلمين ولا زالوا يتقاتلون السبب هو المصالح الشخصية والثروة والسياسية والكونغو مسيحيين ومع ذلك يتقاتلون كذلك روسيا وأوكرانيا الإعلام الغربي يحاول بث الكراهية والحقد بين الشعوب والدول النامية بقدر ماكانت العبودية منتشرة بين كل الشعوب بسبب الحروب فالمنتصرين بدل قتل الرجال المهزومين ربما يتم الاستفادة منهم في البناء الزراعة أو الرعي أو الخدمة ..... ولكن هذا صار من الماضي لانه كان لا يوجد قانون ولا دول ولا حدود ومع ذلك فإسرائيل اليوم تفعل أكثر بكثير ولا ينتقدها الإعلام الغربي.

Islam is not to blame, but Arab supremacy is; the racism, the slave raids and the annexation of large Southern territories were the main reasons for the war
@@ahmaddo5946everywhere islam is, there is war. Only Malaysia is at peace, and that is a secular government.
Israel doesn't enslave people, arabs enslave people. Not everyone is stupid enough to believe what you said. Islam must keep to itself! Let people be free! But no, islam and arabs must always cause trouble.
My takeaway from this is that Riek Machar exists to screw things up.
And I thought Somalia had it bad …. Sudan is almost in complete nonstop civil war since independence to this day !
When each ethnicity tries to gain power, it will inevitably lead to civil war

Does it look independent to you?
We will reunite Sudan but under South Sudan.
Never going to happen
We need to be separate, we have nothing to do with the Arabs
Stop fighting amongst yourselves and develop your country. God blessed you with abundant oil and gas.
Us South Sudanese 🇸🇸 don’t want to be with those radical Islamist
American divided Sudan to wraken it in the region. Otherwise, a united Sudan would have been a force to reckon with.
Islam and racism divided sudan
Lol blaming America for anything sudan was a threat to no one Islamic racism is the only thing to blame
Thing for the internat for showing african this past store.african wake up to free afriica from the hand of the wicked people.
😢
Sounds similar to nigeria
When the Arabs conquered Egypt in 639 to 649 AD they attempted to advance Southwards into Sudan but were stopped by Nilotic and Nilo-Saharan groups hence slavery did not spread into the interior like in West Africa .
Portuguese managed to capture slaves in Angola and Congo but were unable to spread into the interior where hostile Nilotic groups such as the Dinka, Nuer, Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Luo, Karamoja existed in North East and East Africa .
The North East and East Africa region was dominated by Nilotic, Nilo-Saharan, Nilo-Cushitic and Cushitic groups before Bantu migrations into the region from Central Africa including the Congo .
Nilotic groups such as the Maasai, Luo, Dinka, Nuer, Nyamanga, Turkana, Karamoja, Toposa etc did not practice slavery and shunned slavery or resisted enslavement and some Nilotic Kingdoms in Sudan/Egypt, Ethiopia and Uganda stopped slavery .
The White Portuguese ,Spanish and English slave traders attempted to enslave the Banyarwanda in the 18th and 19th century but failed . King Rwabugiri IV was the first to come into contact with the white Europeans resisting slavery and preserving Rwanda's borders .
To this Day Rwanda is similar to an ethno-nation state in the continent .
In recent times in 1964 a Uganda Luo-Langi John Gideon Okello staged a revolution in Zanzibar that stopped more than 500 years of Omani Arab Subjugation and enslavement of the black bantu populations .
The Omani Arab Sultan Jamshid Bin Adullah fled Zanzibar after the revolution in January 1964 to the UK and 17,000 arabs died in Zanzibar. Tanzania was then formed from this Unification of Zanzibar and Tanganyika .

The Luo nilotes also migrated much later than the Bantu from northern Uganda and South Sudan. Some of them like the Masai absorbed cushites like the yaaku people.
@@papd3532
In East Africa the slavers were mostly Arab-Swahili, not Europeans. And by the time Europeans made it in the interior slavery had already been abolished.
Free for all Government only leave and allow your enemies to govern this holy spiritually nation,,,,,, one Africa one Government
The Nuer were selling Dinka and Anuak men to Europeans and Turku-Arabic while keeping the women for themselves. Even though this sounds like its tribe vs tribe its actually tribal conflict based on foreign influence. And how come the Dinka keep getting stepped on all throughout their history as framed via your comment and this video? Tell me a story or pure tribal wars in Africa that have zero to foreign influence and are significant in damage and amount of people mistreated by near by tribes? I will wait....
The Nuer had a brief moment of dominance (mostly confined to Upper Nile) in the late 1800s, while the Dinka had their period of dominance in the 13th and 15th Centuries.
The rich oil country ❤❤❤in east Africa
This was arab led apartheid 😢
💚🖤❤️
Good afternoon ❤️🇸🇸🦾😇👋
move in silence
You didn't go into how Christianity also ruined Sudan and now South Sudan is a graveyard. Islam ruined it from the North, and Christianity is destroying Sudanese people. Only the Sudanese people can correct this, but they have to work from the past to the now to differentiate.
SURELY
MR THIS CHANNEL
DOCUMENTS OF 20th CENTURY EVENTS ON AFRICAN IS IMPORTANT
BUT HOW YOU DESCRIBING IS TESTING ALMOST 2 PROBLEMS
1. MUSLIM DID WRONG THING
2. CLEANING COLONIAL POWER DID WRIGHT THING
I think your country's colonised white man still influences your educational curriculum .

Two thousand years taken over even the holy nation identify and wealth still enjoy by imposters
South Sudanese are cush aka hamite not black Israelite, This is Sudanese aka men of statue the real pharaoh lineage Read isaiah 45 vs 14 and Exodus 11 vs 7
❤😂😢😮😢😮😅
This history is dinkawashed..
Elaborate
The story of South Sudan is about people rejecting to be free servants of God and accepting slavery to every thing else: the stones, the animals, the trees and the dead.
Spoken like a true colonizer.
@@eve3614 God is above the whole thing of colonization and decolonization.
The story of South Sudan is the story of Africans who choose to remain faithful to their Christian beliefs and reject the falsehoods of the north who confuse themselves to be Arabs
@@IdidntplayballNah we didn't choose slavery , we chose freedom your claim of we not choosing to be servants of God is pathetic. We chose not to be slaves to the Arabs who regarded us slaves, If they wanted to convert us then why not do it peacefully be persuasion rather than violence and destruction? Is that how peaceful Islam is?
@@Ididntplayball God also doesn't condone forced conversion, as written in 2:256 and 2:285, and a portion of the latter reads as "They believe in God, His Angels, His Books, and His messengers." Notice that it says Books, plural rather than singular, thus recognizing the Torah and Gospels, as all three have overlap with messengers and prophets, peace be upon them. And God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
