Grox44... fuck Africa. Why should our young soldiers die for these people? Let them live how they want to. They had since the beginning of civilization to build their own country. They are living exactly how they want
@@ilovecookies2532 - Are you kidding me? America created South Sudan. As you heard, war intensified after america finished mapping out the oil in the late 70s early 80's. As John Kerry, Sec State at the time, said, 'America midwifed the birth of South Sudan'.
I mean when a country finds oil its free gake for them to do the civilized thing and capitalize on it but Africa has the WORST leaders in the world so I assume the country will never fix itself.
why would any one want to visit such a shithole ? I mean these people throughout history have proven again and again that they are not able to build a decent civilization. They havent built one ancient city that is still standing. Do you know how old Paris or London is? Na man, he is stupid to risk his life in this country and lucky that he didnt cath anything. A friend of mine went to africa on holidays this winter, i told him dont go. No he is in a coma because of fucking malaria.
Stona Raptor these ppl had greater civilization than the white man could make shit if the white man didn't steal resources and knowledge they wouldn't be shit.
That’s because they haven’t recovered from the rape of the continent by Europeans. Took the resources, destabilized all the countries, and left them at war with each other
This is the unfortunate reality about why so many African nations are caught in tremendous strife. It's a state of constant instability as one power-hungry leader or group tries to wage war for personal gain and valuable resources, and the people are always having to rebuild their lives because of these conflicts. It saddens me because I was elated for South Sudan when they gained independence and hoped that they could have a unified country free from Northern oppression and corruption. Now it seems that nothing has changed except the corrupt officials in power. God bless South Sudan and all of its African neighbors.
Vice is without question my favorite news outlet, by a long shot. It's decently unbiased, covers actual issues and not what new stupid thing some politician has said, and they're pretty thorough in their research. They're just an all around good company.
It's the only way to solve this terror. perpetrating war and violence, even if backed by good intentions will never achieve anything and will always be destructive.
I just feel bad watching all this in the comfort of my home, so unfair that i was born in a nice place and they were born in a shit place, i know im a lucky guy and i appreciate my life it just makes me wonder....
At the end when they were about to leave.. machet looked so sad and like he was about to cry as he sat there in that quick clip next to Robert. Towards the end I mean.. and that little 2 seconds.. broke my heart
Thank you for shedding light onto this story, you are truly representatives of quality journalism, which is rare nowadays. You show the real problems of the world, and you do so objectively and thoroughly.
Yep, created a lot of unnecessary strife all over the continent. People that had no historical or cultural affiliations were forced into contraptions that left them at odds, while external forces did all they could to maintain these countries, usually by supporting one side or the other. Ultimately, the Africans have to sort themselves out. The organic evolution of country/states with willing members has to occur, sometimes painfully and slowly.
And no one has ever had the sense since colonialism ended to redraw borders...especially since there’s a civil war every 15 minutes. I’m sure before these borders were drawn no tribes ever warred w each other...nothing but peace & harmony u til evil whitey came, right? Colonialism, bad. Blaming something already obsolete, useless & futile.
i am a black man but i must say bad mind and selfishness as well as tribalism run deed in black people. With all the resource that Africa have it seem that the black man never learn from his mistake all i hear it is the European fault for from it. Most of Africa has wealth national wealth and because of corruption and bad mined attitude of Africa as well as the Caribbean political leaders these regions will continue to be poor and broken black people are their worst enemy, they keep electing people who they like or who are from their own tribe and not competent individuals that can get the job done, black people are too emotional and less logical.
you have no idea about how much I agree with you on this .we blacks are too greedy to a point that you would rather see the resource go into the hands of foreigners than help your starving fellow people. Africa soo rich yet soo poor! its a shame
Byron Denninson It has nothing to do with being black. Almost all of Africas countries borders were created by Europeans without care to local populations. If it's borders were created more mindful of the locals or if they had just stayed out, Africa would have been better.
Abdukahor Muzaffarzoda My country would be several warring states without any resources or capabilities of a competent nation if the colonials didn't unify us. We actually revere them. Plus they ended slavery.
“Who taught you strategy & tatics” “During the liberation struggle, I went thru... First Group” “So the US taught you strategy & tactics...” “Here we are” How does nobody see that as one of the most powerful things in this documentary
Holy shit! I remember Machot from Costco! He was only a bag boy last time I saw hi, great to hear he's a manager now. I never knew his backstory. Great guy.
Africa has a massive amount of potential yet lack of educated people continue to haunt the continent. The rich who receive adequate education end up leaving to become doctors and such in Europe and the Americas because there is no way to make money in their native land. A proper educational system would completely change Africa. The money is there to build it, but corrupt politicians keep the money amongst themselves and it never is seen by the people. Everyone is commenting saying religion is causing this violence and while that is part of the problem it is not the sole reason. If people actually understood their religion they wouldn't go around killing people just because they're not of the same set of beliefs. That goes back to being uneducated. They don't actually know what they believe in, they just think they need to rid of anyone who isn't the same because someone of higher social ranking says so. They're vulnerable and will do anything in an attempt to please superiors so they can rise up the ranks in these militias, because that's the only way to become successful in life it seems. Without an education there is almost nothing else they can do. It's nearly impossible to get a good job in America without even a college degree, let alone not even having a basic primary schooling education. Africa has everything they need at their disposal (resources, people, land, etc.) and can fix itself without the help of foreign governments, they just need to use the right tools. That tool is education.
This is a very well made documentary. I feel it should have an age restriction or content warning though. Please continue to make these videos. We need true journalism
I get they need to subtitle some of the speakers with heavy accent but do you really need to subtitle the guy that lived in US for 18 years , manages a costco and speaks perfect english?
Definitely, he's glamorised the trauma of the former soldier's life. It's obvious, Machot is pissed off at the pampered white men reveling in his people's strife, for Machot when he goes home he'll be thinking about his people every day for his life, for the white guy he won't lose a wink of sleep over what he saw.
Oh fuck off you racebaiting shithead. Why do you think these people are there? You fuckers should be grateful anyone in the civilized world still gives a shit. Those pampered white people you talk about have visited most of the conflict zones on this fucking planet, no shit they're not gonna lose sleep because if they did they'd kill themselves, you don't know jack shit so fuck off.
Everytime i see these doccies i get reminded that south africa really isn't as bad as we belive it is.......it could obviously be better....but we got peace
kris Fodor Tell me of ONE developing/developed non-white country in the world that doesn't have white minorities or foreign investment...that doesn't mean they run the country and are in charge of it's development. Your comment is dumb
I feel so so sad for Machot(?). He seemed so happy on the journey there, all excited to return to his homeland. But then by the end, I could just feel his despair. It was just really upsetting to see that difference.
It’s a very good land am a Uganda now back to uganda but i still miss South Sudan i had felt in love with it those people are soo loving and trust worth
Watching this just makes me feel like there is no hope for S.Sudan. I mean after decades of war people still want to go to war again for revenge? So sad...
February 2020 and this conflict is still ongoing... Currently a total of 380,000+ casualties. 190,000 from war violence, and another 193,000 from war-related causes. The West really seriously needs to start monitoring and helping settle these horrible conflicts going on all around sub-Saharan Africa. Africa has such potential.... The birthplace of Man. God bless Africa
@@paultheviewer the West especially Europeans colonized this country made sure that people in South Sudan become Christians. USA fully supported the secession in South Sudan can't you hear the doctor nuer in charge of the rebels were trained and recruited by the Americans.
Africa is absolutely beautiful and the people are just so amazing! Everywhere in the world has problems but unfortunately in some parts of Africa it seems like no one cares! God bless all you beautiful souls until I come again!!
Some old apartments I lived in, in Georgia housed some of the lost boys. They were some of the coolest, sweetest guys. My sister and I still laugh about one incident with one of them. I guess he (Abraham) had never had Starbust before. My sister gave him one, and he ate the entire thing, wrapper and all😂. It was so cool watching them learn new things.
Read about a group of people known as the Janjaweed. They're Arab slavers from the north of Sudan who captured Dinka tribesmen and sold them in open slave markets. When I was in the Army, our battalion was being considered for a deployment there. I'd already deployed to Iraq twice (to fight a war I didn't agree with), and looked forward to deploying to Sudan and smoking some slavers (an operation I would have agreed with). No such luck, though. We were all looking forward to kicking ass for a good cause.
I am sure the majority of the conflicts has to do with oil, but from what I see, there are people who want to be leaders and need to be worshipped. Very sad.
rich and powerful = corruptability. i couldn't do it better, i know i'm corruptable and shouldn't go anywhere near a political or corporate career. best way i can help the world is to not be involved
maybe if people read a little bit of the ethnography accounts about the peoples of Sudan (the Evans-Pritchard books on Nuer people, for example) would understand that is not a matter of plain struggle for the oil but a long and complex ethnic conflict between the Nuer and the Dinka.
Yea, not sure when the last time violence on this scale happened in Ukraine for this long. I'd actually put my money on not in quite a few centuries. Ukraine saw some heavy defensive fighting in WWII, but it was mostly the German's fault and it was three years, not three hundred.
And yet here we are, a year after this comment was made, with a president who doesn't want to leave office, pestilence ravaging the land, rising tension between social groups, and *lots* of guns. Many steps away now seem like only a few degrees difference between the US of last year and a similar place as this.
@@GabeThinks president who dont want to leave office? :D lmao newly elected president first week in already bombed country, gathered national guards to close down whole Washington, damm you dems are retarded. Literally dictatorship arrising but you dont care, double standards are strong with you hypocrites.
Oh please conflict in Africa is as natural as sleep, to truly rid South Sudan's problems you would need to unite all of tbe groups within Africa and that is seemingly impossible if they are left to their own devices.
28:32 is the very look of serious PTSD... South Sudan has the worst affected people of war (especially the young) according to a survey on child soldiers.
20:15 is the actual reality and summary of this whole video. The guy’s eyes is splattered all over his own face. Then his partner said “we are in control of Malayalam. We captured it in the morning, at 10 AM” Damn the guy in the back barely made it back.
was it just me or did it seem like the journalists/filmmakers were mocking Machot at times and otherwise being consistently callous and totally unsympathetic to what he must have been going through - laughing at him, condescendingly telling him he can't control his anger in the middle of his own war torn country, mocking his hopes to 'save south sudan' on the boat at the end...yeah they nailed it in the beginning just the latest in a long line of crazy white men. it didn't seem like there was any respect towards the situation from them. it was like they were bored on their war zone safari.
Africa is too tribal for traditional western democracy, you need a monarchy or dictatorship from the smallest minority that preserves everybody’s rights and safety and ensure somewhat of economic growth and a road to prosperity with medium to little corruption, once educated, the future generations will get over tribalism, it happened 1200 years ago in Europe and can happen there too. Best of luck to everybody!
it's funny you mentioned that, maybe because half of the current African dictators came to power through elections at one point, while the rest had a coup against a former dictator that also came to power through elections. You see a pattern here?! cuz i do
This guy needs to narrate more videos. His voice is very calming and helps make his travel stories so engaging!

I'd already deployed to Iraq twice (to fight a war I didn't agree with), and looked forward to deploying to Sudan and smoking some slavers (an operation I would have agreed with). No such luck, though. We were all looking forward to kicking ass for a good cause.
Self extermination 😡 because if you live by the sword you die by the sword! This type of internal conflict never ends in peace 😢
I guess you could say 2 coup[e]s Makes a Sudan...
You got that joke from Sam onela's academy, didn't you?
Go home sam
Excellent journalist, this is Vice roots without all that new Buzzfeed bullsht
Secession was the worst step to take, I am from Kenya and sometimes you meet Sudanese along the streets of Nairobi and you shed tears.
I cant live without netflix and wifi
Secession best thing ever 🇸🇸🇸🇸

Fuck you detriot over everybody
Very conservative I would say more like 2025
@@trevorsmith2811 u cant even spell Detroit right, must of got your education there.
I am sure the majority of the conflicts has to do with oil, but from what I see, there are people who want to be leaders and need to be worshipped. Very sad.
they could be so rich and powerful what a waste
please every body know the truth so long the western countries want to steal their sources nothing will change
Sirak Lata Those africans simply can't keep their own corruption under control.
Same thing with the DRC and Venezuala.They have trillions of dollars worth of natural resources but there is just too much corruption.
@@ocsc9055 Not corruption, just not enough educated people.
rich and powerful = corruptability. i couldn't do it better, i know i'm corruptable and shouldn't go anywhere near a political or corporate career. best way i can help the world is to not be involved
this guy must narrate all videos his voice is very good, I can understand well
Thank you, Robert.

Since when did deers started to live in Africa.
Whether you like Vice or not, you have to admit that the journalists have balls to go to places like this.
I love how the former lost boy guy didn't even flinch when people fired guns
Just came off the Vice doc about mining in the Congo. Man, these are the Vice docs i want to see. More of this please!
Thanks for the upload, well done documentary.
Don't read the comments. It seems like you're on Stormfront forum.
what happens on that forum?
+TheJackCoffee last I heard it was a white supremacist forum?
The truth is not racist.

"They were common among royals"
Key word here is "were".
Never stops amazing me these reporters!!!
Rsking their lives so we can see such privileged footage of the unfortunate events that roam this planet!
maybe if people read a little bit of the ethnography accounts about the peoples of Sudan (the Evans-Pritchard books on Nuer people, for example) would understand that is not a matter of plain struggle for the oil but a long and complex ethnic conflict between the Nuer and the Dinka.
But why are they are they enemies of each other? They seem to have quiet a similar culture

Vice documentaries are amazing
Vice is my to go to when i want to learn about the world, the team always gets in ther, huge respect to the reporters and the camera crew!
Nuer versus Dinka, it's like York versus Lancaster from the 1400s. Africa is just 600 years behind the rest of the world.
Apparently not- Ukraine for one example.
Yea, not sure when the last time violence on this scale happened in Ukraine for this long. I'd actually put my money on not in quite a few centuries. Ukraine saw some heavy defensive fighting in WWII, but it was mostly the German's fault and it was three years, not three hundred.
That's isn't the truth my dear
splitting Sudan to two parts was a big mistake
ash osama I know I'm 3 years late, but it really wasn't, the Arab majority North was heavily oppressing the African majority South.
I dont think that there was really much of a choice as North Arabic Sudan was prying on south Christian Sudan.
well now you're killing each...way to go..
things dont get better in that part of the world..never do and never will
ash osama Lies

i agree this is a great narrator and quality job on news
Fantastic job. Really well done.
Boy am I glad to live in the US, your darkest day over here is a walk in the park in South Sudan
And yet here we are, a year after this comment was made, with a president who doesn't want to leave office, pestilence ravaging the land, rising tension between social groups, and *lots* of guns. Many steps away now seem like only a few degrees difference between the US of last year and a similar place as this.
@@GabeThinks president who dont want to leave office? :D lmao newly elected president first week in already bombed country, gathered national guards to close down whole Washington, damm you dems are retarded. Literally dictatorship arrising but you dont care, double standards are strong with you hypocrites.
I hope I can one day visit my country.
Oh please conflict in Africa is as natural as sleep, to truly rid South Sudan's problems you would need to unite all of tbe groups within Africa and that is seemingly impossible if they are left to their own devices.
thanks to us and eu
28:32 is the very look of serious PTSD... South Sudan has the worst affected people of war (especially the young) according to a survey on child soldiers.
20:15 is the actual reality and summary of this whole video. The guy’s eyes is splattered all over his own face. Then his partner said “we are in control of Malayalam. We captured it in the morning, at 10 AM”
Damn the guy in the back barely made it back.
23:07 First group is is responsible for operations in the Pacific, and that's how you know he is a liar. .
veedub447 Of course he lied. his body language betrayed him
i thank god every day were i can pick my own food from the trees and not worry about shit....👏👏
Once in a position of power, they never help the people, only themselves.
Incredible reporting
100 times better than CNN ...
was it just me or did it seem like the journalists/filmmakers were mocking Machot at times and otherwise being consistently callous and totally unsympathetic to what he must have been going through - laughing at him, condescendingly telling him he can't control his anger in the middle of his own war torn country, mocking his hopes to 'save south sudan' on the boat at the end...yeah they nailed it in the beginning just the latest in a long line of crazy white men. it didn't seem like there was any respect towards the situation from them. it was like they were bored on their war zone safari.
"Here we are."
Damn.
I’m Sudanese and I live in London now
You know what? Despite everything that's happening, Africa is actually, geographically, quite a beautiful country.
Thanks for the subtitles in Portuguese!
25:02 what is that!!!!
Africa is too tribal for traditional western democracy, you need a monarchy or dictatorship from the smallest minority that preserves everybody’s rights and safety and ensure somewhat of economic growth and a road to prosperity with medium to little corruption, once educated, the future generations will get over tribalism, it happened 1200 years ago in Europe and can happen there too. Best of luck to everybody!
Yeah dictators like Idi Amin, Mobutu Sese Seko, Sani Abacha, and Yahya Jammeh sure lead Africa to prosperity
it's funny you mentioned that, maybe because half of the current African dictators came to power through elections at one point, while the rest had a coup against a former dictator that also came to power through elections. You see a pattern here?! cuz i do
Like Robert Mugabe? Isaias Afwerki? Jose Eduardo dos Santos? Joseph Kabila? Theodoro Obiang-Nguema? The post-Mandela ANC? Paul Biya?
Mohamad Fay that’s actually correct.
A monarch or a leader that actually wants the people to be safe healthy and prosper.
Robert Young Pelton! Come Back Alive! Give this dude a channel already....
Loved every moment of this including Mashot's tribal marks!!
That dude's shirt at 27:50 is rockin' - Anyone know what the style is called/where to buy it?
Bro here in the north we've got loads of them type.
