Why Sudan is Ripping Itself Apart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- A civil war between two rival factions of the military government of Sudan, the Sudanese Armed Forces under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces under the Janjaweed leader, Hemedti, began during Ramadan on 15 April 2023. It is arguably the worst conflict on the planet and no one is talking about it

![Corrupt Nigerian Police Officer demands MONEY 🇳🇬[S7-E62]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2sgPIAu3DGU/mqdefault.jpg)
I was in the Sudan for several months as a medical aide worker years ago. It was bad then to hear it got even worse is mind numbing.
Sudan or South Sudan?
@@jomo2483 Sudan and Southern Sudan a bit. I was single then. I have grandkids now. It's been a while.
@@Crowwalker100 wholly it's been a while .
thank you for helping, people like you are the glue that hold this messed up world together.
Islam does that
Lord kitchener, The founder of modern Sudan once said: "Sudan was a mistake".
We as a Sudanese wholeheartedly agree with him.
Fuck Kitchener it's sudanese people themselves fault why sudan is weak
Do you won't to be under the British or be split up, or mabye a tito guy holding the nation to gather?
@@BigBl0ck-r9y Split up of course.
We already gained our independence since 1950's As exchange for our service in WII, we were supposed to join Egypt.
South Sudan and Darfur were already split entities under the "Closed districts" ordinance and were supposed to be independent nations.
@@mujtabashanan3548 but what will prevent it from becoming a Pakistan vs india slash balkens, situation? Mabye the if the un did there job, thay could create a nomans land like in Cyprus where they are the only onse allowed? But all the parties need to be on the same page about giving them the power!
@@BigBl0ck-r9y This is what the government was trying to do, sharing the power with those warlords, it only worsened the situation with other ethnic groups seeking power through such deals.
We had enough of them. In the best case they are federal region with Thier own government will leeching of our economy, in the worst case they running a mock undermining the national security and worsening the economy for the rest of us.
Western Sahara, South-Sudan, Central Africa, Azawad-Mali, Yemen, Tigray, Kivu, Armenia, Burma, Peru, Colombia.... so many conflicts and wars going on...
To be fair most of those wars have been going on for almost as long as many of us have been alive. Burma/Myanmar has been ongoing since before independence and that started right after years of fighting during WW2. The wars in Columbia and Peru have been going on since the USSR started the communist guerilla campaign. Similarly the CAR/Kivu conflicts are continuations of the Congo wars which started in the 60s while the Belgians were still around. If i remember right the Western Sahara's war originally started when Morocco and Spain started fighting when Morocco was still a colony during the early Cold War. Crazy how many of todays problems trace back directly to European imperialism, you'd think we'd be well past all that by now seeing as most of the population of these countries werent even alive during colonial rule and some of these wars were started before the soldiers fighting in them were even born yet.
Olllllllll pland sins 1933 i beliwe after yares off study ......Hooooooff why are u alvsys maki wars??? WTF 😮 the mening off life is isy pisy love and respekt . I am a nde and know how bad diss
Lying are ending hvid 😢 plice stopp pliiiiiiiise stopp the wilans bifor so.bady els do🧨🎇🎆♾️ war???Hello from. Norway 🇧🇻😪
@arthas640 its due to many of the problems being fundamental to the countries now. After foriegn rule left they werent really set up to deal with independent rule plus many of the nations are those that wouldnt exist as they are naturally.
Yemen deserves more attention - the level of malnutrition among children is insane. It was the largest humanitarian crisis in the last 5 years (depending on how Sudan’s situation pans out)
I'm from Colombia
And the conflict here is nowhere as insane as that of Sudan
We have a really low intensity conflict with guerillas but that's about it
Sudan is going through an apocalypse
A large part of the lack of attention is probably the "boy who cried wolf" effect.
It's one thing to be upset about a terrible war... But it's harder and harder to really care about the next one. And the next one. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. And so on...
When they've been mercilessly slaughtering each other CONSTANTLY OVER THE COURSE OF DECADES, people start writing the whole thing off as a lost cause.
You hit the nail on the head. The rare time you do hear about these conflicts most people seem to react like its as normal and expected as the raising of the sun....it's a sick twisted joke honestly
@@Northraider123 and that's a perfectly reasonable reaction, because in that area? This really IS normal and expected. Butchery and slaughter in central Africa is a nearly universal constant.
@@Arclite02And might means right will remain a constant until they get tired of that system. That has so far not happened.
A more important reason is the lack of a good guy vs bad guy projections, in this conflict the raf and saf are very similarly horrible, but in other conflicts like Russia Ukraine and especially Israel Palestine there is always a side that either agrees with your ideology or is a part of your group and a side that opposes it, so it's easier for a lot of people to care about these two wars because they can project their support to whichever side aligns with their values/project their hatred to the side that opposes it, another reason is that there is things that can be done here, by pressuring your government to support a side, meanwhile your government likely doesn't care about sudan so it makes you feel powerless and thus apathetic, other reasons would be racism against Africans or feeling that this region is pretty much hopeless
It's like Boy who cried Wolf, but there was an actual Wolf every time. At some point, people will just think its Wolf territory and move on
I was about 14 when I first learned about the Darfur genocide. I highly recommend reading "They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky" by Alephonsion Deng, that's the book I learned about it from. Truly harrowing stuff, and the photos really hammer it home. I still can't get some of them out of my head 15 years later.
Black Lives Matter!
My parents got married in their late teens 1988 somalia. They saw it all.
It's not just western media, I live in Africa and it still is not talked about at all. We thankfully have a few charities that help but they never become well known. The world still does not care for Africa.
Charities in the west aren't looked favorable on anymore as they were in the 1980s or 90s because a lot of the money went to waste and local corruption frustrated donors. Basically, people got tired of donating to things that never improved.
It is not the world's responsibility to care for Africa! And stop using the excuse "we were colonized that's why we are the way we are" - are you just going to use that excuse for the rest of your miserable existence? Or some other excuse why you can't progress out of the hellish pit that a lot of you are in?
Maybe try these:
- stop fighting each other,
- stop stealing from each other,
- follow the rule of law,
- have discipline,
- stop making too many babies,
- invest in institutions and proper infrastructure, and not in lavish palaces and sports cars,
- stop with this deity nonsense,
- be patient for at least 20 years.
Perhaps Africa can start caring for itself first before expecting the world to constantly babysit.
Unfortunately, to be perfectly blunt, the other side of that statement is that Africa doesn't even care for _itself._ Why should the world help nations that so violently and consistently abuse that help? Why should people donate aid when so often that aid is wasted, stolen, or misappropriated?
I had a sister who once sponsored an African child at a Christian orphanage. The program was supposed to keep her nourished, educated and supported until she became an adult and learned to take care of herself- instead, she dropped out at 14, disappeared with a boyfriend (I think he was a pimp,) and was never heard from again. That's a _microcosm_ of the rampant corruption charity donations and aid get subjected to once it gets packaged and sent abroad.
If someone abroad sent a hundred million meals to Sudan, I wouldn't trust them to get out of the port before they were stolen and resold.
@@PorkChopAChunky I understand why you would comment that
This may come off as harsh or uncaring, but I just wanted to say this.
If a nation state, especially one with many groups of different peoples, cannot truly provide for all of its peoples without showing contempt for some, then those who deem themselves able to run their own affairs should have the option for independence. I'm not calling for every country to shatter into smaller nations.
Balkanization is not a bad thing usually. It just won't work here. They already consider themselves to be separate countries, separated by cultural lines- this is pretty much a colonial war. They even have privateers.
And? Who's going to give them the support to do so?
Independence seems like a moot point when everything is going to hell.
USA has a problem along this lines. So does every country in the World
Wouldn’t that just cause a similar situation to the Israel and Palestine conflict
I mean there’s already South Sudan so…should there also be a west and East Sudan? I’m not trying to be an asshole either I just don’t know what a viable solution is at this time
With the African population projected to quadruple(x4) until the end of the century, we might see some more conflicts for resources, land and survival between countries and ethnic groups.
that is the true problem indeed. Africa's population, especially in the Sahel zone is exploding. Most of these countries have populations that they have no hope of sustaining by now. Things are hoing to get lot worse.
That's not gonna happen. Alot of those nations either get food Imports or fertilizer Imports. With the population crash happening in the west and east, economies will suffer and those Imports won't come in.
@onionfarmer3044 yep, we sent them free food and they breed soliders
@@jackblaisdell4097we send them food because otherwise it goes to waste. Hell a lot of it already goes to waste. Just look up cheese mountain.
I highly doubt it will actually happen. Maybe double but these situations will persist and the reproduction rate will drop intensely. Malnourished people cannot make babies or bring them to term. We will see wide generation gaps and probably see a great reduction in population growth estimates
Thank you for talking about this conflict. I barely hard about this myself so knowing me about it was enlightening.

Thanks for bringing attention to an often ignored topic
What are they supposed to do? They have their own lives to live.
It’s exposes hypocrisy that these same people can affect politics.
Not me... Just plain funny!
@@FrostyMts Why? I can affect my local politics through my vote. The only way I can affect foreign politics is through local politics. Or you really suggesting I grab an AK and go ham on a foreign army?
@@FrostyMts Only in an alternate world where voting means anything at all. Ever heard of managed democracy? Or 'controlled opposition'? Red vs Blue? If you think for one second that all political votes aren't automatically compromised then I want what you are smoking because you are too optimistic and naive at the same time for it to be natural.
Think: This channel does a grand job of showcasing the world's comically incompetent corrupt governments. Do you think just because our older, more experienced, governments don't appear to have immediately obvious & comically overblown corruption, that it isn't there? My dude there is no such thing as an honest government on the face of this planet.
Our opinions and how we vote is fundamentally irrelevant. We and by extension you don't matter for foreign policy decision making.
It's not that people don't care. It's that people are like "again? Ok."

I heard about this when I was in college in the mid 2000s. So sad that this is still going on…
unfortunately its a new conflict coming from the old
@@historyofeverythingpodcast what role do western countries (ex France and its printing money for the west Africa etc) companies have in causing the instability in the African countries?

Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been following stories about Sudan for the past 10 years. Things haven’t gotten better. Our news outlets only focus of topics that they care about.
It would be considered racist if it was reported on by media.
Every story about this breaks my heart a little. Had a coworker from Sudan who wanted nothing more than to go home and open a club.
I don’t think that will ever happen.
Very good video. Loved the conclusion, I've been saying that for years.
Thank you for posting this. It really needs to be known. I'm donating.
It’s about food. Many of the regions that are spinning apart were pretty awful places to try to survive until the 1990s when the Soviet block fell apart and the world gained access to Russian fertilizer production. This glut destroyed the market and drove the price of fertilizer down for 30 years. This in turn allowed a staggering amount of marginal lands in areas that do not have soil nutrition suitable for agriculture (the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa bordering the Sahara, Brazil’s tropics, essentially of China not in the north plains, etc.). The more food that is produced the cheaper food becomes and the more people that can survive in countries that would otherwise not be able to support more people. Since the war began Russian fertilizer production has dropped by an estimated 60%. In places like Europe the cost of fertilizer has tripled and so have food costs, but they are rich countries and can afford it. A poor country cannot and so food production drops back to 1980s levels, with 2020s populations. The result is massive social upheaval and revolution. Who is in control does not matter when there isn’t enough food. We are headed for an Africa that looks a lot like it did in the 1970s and 1980s.
100%
That's fine as long as they stay in africa!
thank you.
As usual, the west ruins everything because it just candle out anything good to come out of Russia.
You should do a video about Toyota Land Cruisers and Hiluxes and why insurgencies rely on them all over the world
Ohhh, good idea!!
The Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have gained a reputation as the go-to vehicles for insurgent groups around the world, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the "Toyota War" due to their prevalence in conflict zones. Here are several reasons why these vehicles are favored:
Durability and Reliability
Robust Construction: Both the Land Cruiser and Hilux are known for their rugged build, capable of withstanding harsh terrains and heavy use without frequent breakdowns.
Dependability: These vehicles have a reputation for reliability, often running for hundreds of thousands of kilometers with minimal maintenance. This is crucial in remote areas where access to spare parts and repair services is limited.
Off-Road Capabilities
4x4 Capabilities: Both models are equipped with four-wheel-drive systems, making them ideal for navigating rough and uneven terrains such as deserts, mountains, and unpaved roads.
High Ground Clearance: Their design allows for better handling of obstacles and rough surfaces, which is essential in combat zones.
Versatility
Adaptable: These vehicles can be easily modified for various uses, such as mounting weapons (like machine guns and rocket launchers), transporting troops, or carrying supplies.
Cargo Capacity: The Hilux, in particular, has a large cargo bed that can be used to transport equipment, ammunition, and other essential supplies.
Availability and Cost
Global Availability: Toyota has a widespread distribution network, making these vehicles accessible in many parts of the world. They are sold in many regions, including those where conflicts occur.
Affordability: Compared to other heavy-duty vehicles, the Land Cruiser and Hilux offer a relatively low-cost solution with high performance. Even used models are highly valued.
Ease of Repair
Simple Mechanics: These vehicles have relatively simple mechanical systems that can be repaired with basic tools and limited technical knowledge. This is a significant advantage in areas without advanced automotive repair facilities.
Abundant Spare Parts: Due to their popularity, spare parts for Land Cruisers and Hiluxes are readily available, even in remote regions.
Psychological Impact
Intimidation: The sight of a convoy of armed Land Cruisers or Hiluxes can be intimidating to opponents. They symbolize mobility and resilience, enhancing the psychological warfare aspect.
Cultural Symbol: In some regions, these vehicles have become symbols of power and resistance, further cementing their use by insurgent groups.
Case Studies
Chadian-Libyan Conflict (Toyota War): The term "Toyota War" originates from the Chadian-Libyan conflict in the 1980s, where Chadian forces used Toyota pickup trucks effectively against Libyan tanks.
Middle East Conflicts: Groups like ISIS have extensively used Toyota Hiluxes and Land Cruisers for their operations due to the vehicles' adaptability and reliability.
African Insurgencies: Various rebel groups across Africa, such as Boko Haram, have also relied on these vehicles for their campaigns.
In summary, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux's durability, reliability, off-road capabilities, versatility, availability, and ease of repair make them highly suitable for the challenging conditions encountered in insurgent operations. Their widespread use in conflict zones around the world underscores their strategic value to non-state armed groups.
I was surprised to find out a big reason for the Hilux's success was the low horsepower engine. It makes the engine way more long lasting and lower maintenance which is why they last even longer then other Toyota's
@@arthas640 It's an insightful observation that the low horsepower engine contributes significantly to the Toyota Hilux's success. While it might seem counterintuitive at first-especially in a world where high horsepower is often equated with better performance-the design philosophy behind the Hilux's engine prioritizes longevity, reliability, and efficiency over raw power.
@@TheXnyu i wish more companies did that because often high horsepower isnt important or needed, it's just that "this car has X amount of horsepower" is an easy selling point for any salesman.
Thank you for covering this conflict. I remember hearing about it when it first happened but I didn’t realize it was not only still going on but had gotten worse.
Ok, but lets take a look on it from historical standpoint, here me out.
For generations that country and multiple other countries wanted to be and tried to fought for their independence, be it violently or not.
Then for decades after colonial powers collapsed, each and every attempt of doing ANYTHING in those countries by western countries was portrayed by public oppinion as something bad. That west should stay out of africa and do not meddle with it.
Multiple humanitarian attempts like mosquito nets, feed the poor, the well digging was sooner or later described as evil and colonialist.
When belgians wanted to shoot down those who perpetrated the rwandan genocide they were shown as the abd guys.
So from that standpoint.
Why should a westerner care about what is happening there? Colonial era has been depicted as the biggest evil done to africa, while the circa 50 years of independence for most of the countries brought non-stop wars, etnic cleansings and misery.
So, why should a western citizen care? Each and every attempt for last 40-50-60 years ended in getting the backlash and being called evil.
Thank you so much for bringing this to light, we never realize how crazy this world is. Never forget how amazing you are and I hope it gets better
I hope Sudan can see peace someday 😢
As a sudanese i say to you
Thank you ❤
Good luck man 🙏🙏
Thank you ❤️
And if you could share this video it would mean a lot to me and other sudanese citizens as our voices aren't heard and our suffering is ignored but ppl like you could get it to the main stream
The RSF and SAF are ripping the country to shreds and I can not stress enough how helpless we are about it so please help spreading the word about it and hopefully someone with power could do something about it 🙏
@@mohammedemad3715well, i hope you guys get thru this quickly and we wish you the best. I’ll say a prayer for you. When the US breaks out into civil war say one for us.
thank you so much for sharing this! you are right, the news has been criminally silent on this!
Because it is in Africa a place full of might makes right culture and a sprinkling of religious extremism
Meaning any attempt to fix things need to follow that recepie. That require being strong enough to strongarm the warlord's power from them.
@michaelpettersson4919 you think an El salvador approach would be the way to go?
@regor2081 you'd end up putting the entire power structure into prison. these are governments and armies, not gangs (though they act the same).
Most countries can barely run themselves, who's going to fund a new power hierarchy in some African shithole?
Thank you for informing people of this conflict!
Somehow, everywhere in the world is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
Always has been.
This is so sad!! I pray for peace and a spirit of forgiveness to come upon the land of Sudan!!
That's ... a lot. Appreciate the insight.
I really really appreciate how you tackle these difficult subjects. There's so much going on in the world that most of us only know the surface details about.
We can’t just keep blaming the “media” for so many people living in news-free bubbles. At some point folks should realize that our feeds, and many news websites, show us what we are asking to see and are likely to interact with. If folks aren’t seeing this decades-long saga, it’s a skill issue, not censorship.
As a Sudanese we don't care about the conflict ether in fact yesterday we heard about a marriage between our family members in the middle of the conflict in Khartoum and yet nobody talks about anything about the war or who's winning this fight its sad and hilarious
Commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for your discussion
It's not a "boy who cried wolf" situation, but contrast in patterns is what tends to perk up the collective human spidey senses, so when you're in civil war or fracturing into multiple coutlntries for decades, it won't register to the average news consumer because it won't make it. Best example: The Chinese coast guard has conflicts with the Phillipine navy or fishing fleet several times a month. Almost always the same story. Super important to geopolitics but not covered because it is just repetitive IMO.
I just found the best channel on UA-cam
The SAF and the RSF have dropped casual racism. They are going competitive.
And here’s the worst part
You can’t tell them apart
In fact the Janjaweed or RSF look as African as their victims
Depressing affair
@@EM-tx3ly I mean, race and skin color aren’t necessary intertwined. The Rwandan genocide, and even the holocaust (albeit to a lesser extent), are the proof of it.
@@EM-tx3ly because Arab in Darfur refers to Arabised africans

I do want to say, for the german christmas markets they sell "dutch fries" which is a style of fries that is eaten nowhere in the netherlands at all.
I must applaud the level of research done, the intense deep dive into this depressing topic. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just to clarify, the SAM-7 is a NATO reporting name for the Russian made Strela-2 MANPAD. The Strela-2 is also known as the 'SA-7' in NATO militaries. Which is why the origin of the SAM-7 may have gotten confusing.
Thank you for letting me know. Outrageous how they don't report this in the news.
I dont know where your from but it is being reported on here in northern europe.
Theres also a UA-cam channel called Warographics that has a weekly update about current conflict if u wanna stay up to date with sudan, myanmar and other less reported on conflicts.
UA-cam allows child porn on here, but God forbid you try and bring light to atrocities around the world that nobody else pays attention to.
That's a bridge too far
WTF
I can see why nobody is talking about this, especially not in the West; Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin in fixing a mess that's this horrendously bad:
You can't send in aid at significant scale, because aid workers will be targeted and aid goods will just be diverted towards sustaining the war.
You can't intervene militarily because you'd just wind up endlessly fighting insurgents and guerillas for a decade to absolutely no benefit, like in Afghanistan.
You can't pressure foreign backers into ending their support for both sides of the conflict, because one of those foreign backers is Iran who can't really be reasoned with.
You can't support one side over the other so that it wins and the conflict ends, because ethics and because both sides are awful; Whoever wins would just inflict unspeakable horrors on the losing party and then do the same to the part of the civilian population that supported it.
You can't mediate a negotiated end to the conflict, because as long as there's support from foreign backers neither side will materially degrade to the point where it can no longer continue the war.
The only thing to do is to ignore the conflict and wait until both sides run out of men to throw into the meatgrinder.
Sad but true. This whole thing is FUBAR.
Interesting that the comparison is made to the mongols rather than the arabic invasion and subsequent raids that they have performed since the advent of islam.
The mongols are much more popular and known.
@@arthurmiranda8896 but much less relevant beyond tactics that were common even before them, such as the parthian shot for the feigned retreat. Very much seems like avoiding the issue rather than the mongols
The Arab invasions are often glazed over since it paints Arabs negatively and conflicts with their world view as victims of imperialism rather then perpetrators of imperialism.
Mostly because nobody wants to upset the Arab Muslims as things tend to blow up when they feel upset.....or threatened.....or they just see something they want.
@@mordreek yet for the average person it sticks way better as a comparison due to common knowledge, therefore making the main information more accesible
Best podcast ever
This video reminds me of a speaker I heard about Africa in general. " Africa is the graveyard for Africans" Those with the means/money leave, invest in overseas businesses and/or have bank accounts in Switzerland. The more I see/hear what's going on, the more I believe that speaker. It hurts and makes me want to do something but, if the aide isn't going to the people it's meant for, what are the other options?
11:00 LAND CRUISER, Americans always talk about the Hilux but its the land cruiser that is the technical vehicle of Africa. AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO!!!!!!!!!
It depends in more developed southern africa its the hilux and in even more developed south Africa its just a basic vw polo that people use for day to day stuff
Are you really surprised that the 24 hour news cycle ignores this? There's no clear good guy, and religion isn't a factor. There's no agenda they can push for their donors.
religion is the biggest factor.
well actually islam isnt a religion is a political deen but still.
its evil and its the root of the prob
Getting the word out helps.👍🧐
Hemedti has to go. All these psycho warlords need to go.
islam needs to go

NGL the Toyota Hilux meme is so good. Just like the truck. The sales must be wild
There is all these conflicts that are more than war. Wasn't the UN made for things like this. Countries put so much money and resources to the UN and nothing is ever done. They should set up guarded hospitals for Haiti, Sudan and other countries.
Maybe we can get a History of the UN?

Watching this felt like where South Africa could be. The fact that we still have some semblance of infrastructure and function is a massive wake up.
any humanitarian aid that gets sent to virtually any African nation gets sequestered by a warlord or 'government' and then taken for profit.
There is no point in sending aid to that region or.. to most regions for that matter.
Even locally, most large charities have to pay for their overhead costs and that's almost all of your donations.
Why donate?

Sudan and other African nations have been in a constant state of pearl and famine my whole life. And I was born in the 1980's.
Yes, the pearls of the Red Sea have been extracted for centuries.
"Those refugees are people like us, blond, blue eyes" reported an European journalist about Ukraine. That's why "yet snother African war" is irrelevant to Western Media.
Nah it's because Muslims are the perpetrators and the media doesn't like to show them in a less than favorable light.
"As young as 7" they got completely spawn camped💀
people treat war like a football game, if there’s no good guy to root for nobody will care
Semi-stupid question:
When is the Middle East not a warzone?
Israel. They have their hands in every war in the ME. Even Sudan.
@@wingmanemu3473no one told Egypt and the Arab coalitions or the Iranians to literally turn the Palestinians into proxy cannon fodder for decades while simultaneously helping to box them in to keep the war going. Well except the Soviets of course...not that you ever cared to remember that detail because it makes you have to reevaluate nuance
This isn't in the middle east, it's in Africa
No it is a very valid question. Historically middle east was very stable and had empires that lasted for like hundreds of years, like the ottomans or Ummayads or Aayubids. In fact it is just recent that the middle east faces unstability which is to say more specifically; after the fall of the ottoman empire in ww1, many greater empires like the British and French simply wanted to exploit the middle east (since the more the land the better ig). Anyways to sum it up, trashy borders drawn after independence lead to dispute on land and lead to people distrusting the government put by the colonialists, which lead to revolutions and the ones that didn't like the revolution form terrorist organisation to plan for a another "better" revolution and the creation of isreal was a major catalyst for instability, because basically most of the terrorist organisations in the middle east almost always have the goal to remove isreal. Terrorism is bad for the middle east and now one wants it, however it improves weapon trade with USA or Russia or even EU, therefore having terrorist that buy your weapons is basically and economic advantage for the west, and no one in the west is sadly denying that, therfore maintaing the instability in the middle east is very important for countries that manufacture weapons even if it is immoral and inhumane. Also note that gulf countries are currently very stable and are living currently in their golden age due to oil obviously and trade with gold. I hope this helps!
When the Ottomans were in charge.
When this ends, where are those raiders going to go... they've realized that there will be no repercussions for their raiding and pillaging, regardless of loyalties. They're not going to stop. Sudan is not going to get better.
Sudan: But what about civil war?
The World: But you've already had civil war... twice!
Sudan: We've had First and Second Civil War, yes, but what about Third?
do a video on the situation of Syria..its history, the Arab spring and present situation
not arab. arabians are cool. its islam. islam is evil and evil is the problem.
I understand why the Sudan civil war get soo little coverage. What could the world do about it? Short of a strong nation moving in and take over restarting colonialism I got no idea of what to do that could work.
Nothing that the world can really do besides at most somehow pressuring the UAE to stop funding the RSF and hoping that that would get them to capitulate
@@Thedimensionalwarrior
How about Russia?
You could say the same thing about Ukraine/Israel, the world isn't reporting on it not because we can't do anything about it. but because the region is just so dull and uninteresting we're not even interested in having a proxy war over it. (of course we'll still give them a couple of USA AA missile launchers just for the lulz)
Iran and the UAE are sqabbling over a dusty field which is about all the middle easterners can ever hope for. and Russia just needs whatever they can get their mitts on.
tl;dr Sudan needs to spontaneously discover oil fields for team america to go in and save the day.
interfere with the 3rd party influences, remove wagner group, UAE and everyone
Can anyone recommend any channels/podcasts/books discussing nation building in these kind of situations and how local/ethnic tensions can be delt with?
When is it not ripping itself apart.

You are an amazing narrator, but the lower half of your face hides a lot behin the mic, and that makes it harder to understand you and engage fully in your narration - from a fan in Denmark :-)

How many westerners know that the Tigray war is so far the deadliest war of the century at it's peak 1000 soldiers were being unalived everyday, it's total cost being 600,000 people...
I know that it was but Post colonial Africa is my niche historical interest
How about asking anyone outside of eastern Africa. What could the average Liberian, a Nepalese, a Korean or a Syrian tell you about this war? Don't put your frustration on "the west" in this case as they have no real ties to this conflict.
@@ballenboyit makes sense for westerners to not know about all wars in the world if it doesn't concern them and they aren't interested, but they should be educated about any conflicts in which the participants are funded by westerner governments in order to pressure their governments to either stop funding them or continue funding them depending on which conflict, which unfortunately for westerners is a lot of conflicts, but I don't think that is the case in Ethiopia or Sudan
@ballenboy people in Asia know ,I'm not blaming the West come on...I'm just speaking as to how they are so uninformed,
@@Avaricumstudios Do the people in Asia really know? Is africa and middle east really regions that the asian news and public follow and keep up with. Is the Ethiopian crisis and now Sudan really reported and followed in India, Japan or Vietnam? I suspect the west is still more conscious of those areas from past historical entaglements and a sense or responsibility (from when the west dominated 95% of the globe).
Heard families of 4 survive on $10 a month in Sudan
Sad
These geniuses have been doing this for decades. Who really cares?
It’s clear to me Sudan is at least as important (possibly more important) than what’s happening in Palestine and Ukraine. Why is the US media not covering this? Feels like censorship to shove this under the rug
All dictatorships are democracies. Therefore, when the factions and this conflict say they're going to reinstate democracy. They are technically being correct. North Korea is a democracy, The Congo is a democracy, Eritrea is a democracy, Turkmenistan is a democracy.
Managed democracy )))
@@major_kukri2430 for super Earth
Most dictatorships claim to be democracies, you mean. Some others claim to be communist. Some claim to be monarchies.
It really doesn't matter what a ruling government claims they are.
@@CheezMonsterCrazy true
@@CheezMonsterCrazy there's a really good reason why the founding fathers of the United States refuse to use the word democracy. They use the word Republic because it has a lot more restrictive definition than democracy.
SAF leader picked up a weapon and slugged it out with his troops? respect
As a European, that is sad but so what? We have meddled so often with Afrika and gotten the blame for it and some is well deserved and what has it accomplished? Jack nothing. As I know the definition of insanity, I'm for a change of tactics: Just sit and watch, the noble black Africans surely can figure things out without the need of a white savior in any form.
Hold the same standard when it comes to the Israel Palestinian conflict
100% They used to be Pharaohs and lived in a utopia where clean water fell from the sky and food was so abundant it grew on trees. They are so smart and are an example for all western countries. We have so many problems going on in the west right now. I cant unscrew the lid off my spaghetti sauce and have been trying to get this square peg in a round hole for a few weeks and cant figure it out. They are the only ones smart enough to solve it, if any white people got involved we would probably get lost or just end up stealing all their inventions again.
@@Bcorcoran100too bad. islam has replaced the bad white man in your example.
@@sharwama992Irrelevant stick to the subject 😂
@@ifirespondiamstupid7750 what I said stands.
Things are about to get bad here. Really really bad. And no one will care when it happens to us
