The war in South Sudan began in murky circumstances in mid-December, when tribal factions within the country's army, the SPLA, began fighting each other in the center of the capital, Juba. The SPLA quickly fractured into two camps: an insurgency drawn from members of former vice president Riek Machar's Nuer tribe and troops who remained loyal to President Salva Kiir, of the Dinka tribe. Both sides have been accused of committing gross human rights abuses during the conflict. VICE News arrived in Juba and found the army desperate to dispel rumors that rebels were advancing on the capital. Soldiers were keen to take our correspondents on a trip with them into the bush to recapture the strategic city of Bor from the rebels... only the raid didn't turn out quite as they had expected.

The rebels seem more organized than the army.
They were part of South Sudan army division 8 commanded by one of Nuer Gen. Peter Gatdet who defected from the government side and killed his deputy who was Dinka, and the rest of Dinka soldiers because the Dinka soldiers massacred 20,000 Nuer civilians in Juba on December 13,14 and 15 and that commander who was lying was in fact from Nuer tribe and was lucky he was not killed and the other commander from Dinka was killed.
They are
They are not army just tribals militia
@@riekleip7128 I’m talking about the SPLA-IO not the Nuer White Army. According to UN reports majority of the ethnic cleansing was started by the government and allied forces. SPLA - IO has been shown to be more professional.
Holyshit! Must have been very frustrating for that guy who was trained to see all his comrades abandoning him and really had no idea what to do in a battle.
He was very stupid picking up untrained to be his battalion... just like committing suicide.
@@abepeternason703 im pretty sure he was just put there by the higher ups, u cant choose your own men
@@abepeternason703 you sound more stupid
He was one of the few who still had his helmet on throughout the entire time.
@@trlolingbear47 u so stupid
Officers are a disgrace. A soldiers job is to survive, an officers job is to LEAD.
can't blame the officers. they probably had minimal training let alone military schooling. it is battles like this that are bloody and terrifying, mainly because theres a lack of leadership and inexperienced troops. things are looking grim for the army.

Yeah look at the Lt. from Sanderhurst, his men weren't willing to follow orders. I'm sure that some officers stayed and some fled, just like how some of the soldiers were still fighting and some weren't
spades0628 oh pleaseeee, no training is just an excuse for stupid people... the romans don't need to go to sandhurst and west point to conquer europe... the chinese don't need to go to european military academy to unite china.... they r just plain lazy to think about combat tactics.
what? these sudanese armies expect the chinese came and dig the trenches for them? become their scouts to detect where the guerillas are? the above videos, pinpoint all the reasons why south sudan will fail militarily
Qiu S L you're seriously a naive buffoon. when high-powered rifle fire rips through the air and into people around you exploding pounds of flesh off of their bodies, I GUARANTEE your ass would be looking for a truck to flee in as well.
and wtf? NO professional army in the HISTORY of the world forgoes basic training for its troops and expects them to perform under fire. Idiot.
PhilP824 yup, training is about drilling discipline and the basics needed to fight even while paniced and under fire.
Poorly trained troops are those who have no repeated drill to fall back on when shit hits the fan, thus they break much sooner.
Is there any other vehicle in the world more capable than the Toyota Land Cruiser? This vehicle has featured in every theatre of modern war.
As a Warhammer 40k fan, this is what happens when you don't have a commissar.
They need Ciphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM
XDDD lol
They need some leadership there. They are all very brave men.
Who the guys who ran away their the brave ones you're saying I have a feeling no matter what they did because of who you are they would be okay no matter what they did you're not capable of criticizing somebody like that
It was not our interest to fight ourselves but it had happened.
Ira Albucher
And you don't know how we are as a Riek Machar armies
@@makuarmajiok3792 this fight is stupid brothers pls put guns down let's move forward. Into the 21st century, we look stupid as we are practically indistinguishable amongst each other in the world.
The rebels (Nuer) were more organized and aggressive than the Dinkas-goverment armies. Wow
They're so unorganized its not even funny, the first sign of trouble these "soldiers" high tail it out of there, guess they prefer it when the enemy is exposed for a massacre, rather than engage in a firefight.
Thanks VICE :)
another epic journey, brought to you by Brave Journalist :D
Great Journalism my friend, I salute you. Feel so bad for these people. Most look like good people who wants to do the right thing but have no sort of guidance.
The rebel ( Newar Tribe) are known as warriors, the don't play, I just hope all will finish
Vice I would like to know:
Why break up the video into 5 parts? Why not upload the entire story in one 20+min video?
There is a full video of it 25 min
I really have to commend you VICE, you guys are AWESOME!
i bet most of the wounds are from friendly fire, zero discipline.
Very true.
BTW, Sorry for ruining the 69 likes.
the guy with his face fuzzed out.. foreign intelligence operative?
It was a cameraman yeah, yeah that's the ticket, sure that's it, he was a cameraman yeah, yeah ~Tommy Flanagan the Pathological Liar from SNL
That Soldier @ 3:43 Had a cooking pot strapped to his chest as armor....
He is pubg boy
He holding it cause there’s people sitting on the floor🤣🤦🏿♂️
How to you quell a rebellion when your fighting force consists of cowards?
Know that the rebels have "found" 😭
The weapons that the UN lost
It's crazy how you would lose 3000
Guns lol
If I was stupid I would believe that
@@aweindaaat They were part of South Sudan Division 8 commanded by Nuer Gen.Peter Gatdet who defected from government side and killed his Dinka deputy and the rest of Dinka soldiers because the Dinka soldiers massacred 20,000 Nuer civilians in Juba on December 13,14 and 15
Major: " Oh the rebels are just kids with guns they don't know what they are doing they are not soldiers we will take control of the region by tomorrow"
Rebels: -kill the major and completely and brutally destroy the army in TV-
Major:
Rebels:
OMG! Some good journalism- taking us to the frontlines. Relentless brother!
The commander of this group told the press the rebels are not trained but as what i fucking see they are the one who is lossing and leaving the solgiers behind moving to battle with out medic is a fucking crazy move..
Pity...the whiteman risked his life at our benefit to see what happens, this is a roquer, unprepared army mission batlefront ever i see, you can"t go to the front fast with such light vehicles, the fighting form is scattered, disorganized. the strength is too much also you will loose as many soldier onthe spot they should have front recconaissance that guide the convoy 1 or 2 km away ..
No, you can’t go into the battle blind as a bat not knowing where the enemy is hiding.
Funny how in the last part the commander of the battalion said the rebels are nothing more than poorly trained tribesmen and less than 3 days later the army is already fleeing the battlefield
The rebels were stronger but things have changed as alot have now been bribed.
wait what??? '...everyone fled, the officers running away first leaving their men directionless and terrified...' holy shit!!! that army is disorganised af... and the way they were really confident in recapturing Bor...
Ceasefire talks = resupply ammo
??? I've already seen this part days ago, but this was uploaded yesterday.
This is not an army. Man with guns, that all
***** more like stfu and study your own history to see the ruthless barrage of unfiltered military invasions involving weapons on the part of european entities.
These people don’t have money education, food or other necessities. BUT, they can afford weapons!!!???
Yep, some of these tribes in Africa are crazy. Whatever they earn they spend on guns and ammunition and they don't even keep enough to feed their families, until next harvest(about 1 year), they will hunt or live off of USAID. Hopeless!
Exactly! Here in my country even a handgun is so expensive here!
No they got free weapons from some countries who made weapons like Russia and United States Europe China for make mess in this country because some richest countries can Stolen what they want from Sudan like oil and gold and diamonds this is the truth
@@possocho Excuses, that's what we Africans do for our stupidity! Why would you blame others who made weapons? why can't we get our shit together. Those men we blame they were born just like us they took care of their country and we Africans are destroying ours. So go ahead and blame others, your choice!
@@possocho and FYI I am not sure about Sudan but where I live there is no free weapon, almost everyone has AK and believe it or not they spent all they have on it, nobody gives you free weapon!
1:46 what the hell is this man behind
Possibly an international intelligence officer
The fight over dust and huts!!!
Most excellent reporting by Aris Roussinos! You are an awesome journalist mister!
This army is pathetic.
agreed
Like some said before. The Sout-Sudanese army isn't really an army. I doubt that they actually got real training, most of them are just civilians with guns.
you can only do the best you c an with the best you have, im sorry they dont have mass amount of drones at their dispense
Doesn't matter the equipment, some basic training would work wonders.
this is a poverty stricken nation we are speaking of in the midst of two wars one civil and one national/ethnical. There are so many complications but do not forget it also tribally seperating nation therefore co-ordinating a strike is not as easy as say fighting in the us army a national army responding to demands from one entity. These tribes i would think are no so responsive militarily to other tribes in terms of co-ordination so of course things can get clumsy when you have so many factors poverty,military underspending due to poverty, tribal seperation and one not limited to Sudanians, fear a natural human instinct that saves lives and in this case cause commotion. I do agree they should get training but it shouldnt be limited to ONE tribe that is how they gain power and dictate all other tribes how to live socially, economically and religiously. How do you train a nation of tribally seperated divised peoples in one half of sudan what happens to the arabs on the other side do we train them to?
Who was the white dude with the blurred out face
Probably a "Military advisor" or CIA agent
CIA indeed
The rebels know wtf they're doing over "government troops"
Both sides are untrained insurgents, They were part of Sudan and they fought a guerrilla warfare to gain independence. Now one of the sides is trying to play government, the others are just carrying on the Guerrilla warfare.
The rebels are more organised and have staked their blood on the war. It only tells you they have a reason and a strong course to pursue. I hope their interests are taken into consideration at the end of all these.
Brothers fighting each other there is no winning to this. This is not how Sudan's people Liberation Army(SPLA) were when they were fighting Khartoum or else they would had never lasted 21 years(longest civil war). I am a U.S army Officer(field artillery Hoah) borned in South Sudan and I know for sure, the SPLA I watched as a kid were brave men who knew they were fighting for the right cause. I don't think these soldiers are cowards. I believe they just don't believe in the cause they're fighting for.
Salva Kiir just need to step down and let South Sudanese continue instead of holding down to power by sending these young men to fight a cause they don't even believe in.
Bol Jock these guys were civilians from bar el ghazal.....most spla forces defected to machar
True...you can hear them talking about a settlement in addis abbaba. They do not want to die in the hope that there will be an agreement soon
3:31 is that man using pan for armor?
Serious stuff, brave journalist and brave cameraman!
wtf, they are not military ,they are just civilian with guns
I’m confident my Boy Scout troop could’ve routed that convoy, in a hail of .22s and birdshot.
5 years ago? I'm just seeing it now? Amazing . 🇨🇦
Me too... a nice series of people shooting guns... lol
don't know if to thumb up for production…
or thumb down for what's happening in Sudan
0:34 is that a t-80?? or t-90?? Howd they get so new tanks?
Yeah would not have a T90..
From the one's fuelling the war
lesson of the day do not ever mess with nubians they can fight
christ if they were acting like that because of rebels imagine it was british, americans or any nato force attacking them. That would be something i would want to see as sad as it sounds.
We wouldn't even have to put boots on the ground heck some 19 year old kid flying a drone from any military base in the united states could wipeout both sides of this fight in seconds with what we have now
Ur sad for thinking something like that
You come and try it yourself than. You might be more organize but you can’t push us back on a ground force though you might be well trained…. We’re brave enough to defend our territory 🇸🇸💎 Now the Rebels and Government have United under one government. We have no US or NATO Military base coz they can’t even think of stepping foots here. 😂
Lord of War @ 1:45
Is that really him?
@@neuroplasticity ua-cam.com/video/_iwc4ke1EEI/v-deo.html Yeah Sure it's real story but the problem that there's a lot who business in weapons
Peanuts with AK’s 🤦🏽♂️
Why don't they take the gun trucks instead of running line them up and open up with the 50 cal guns attached to the trucks?
Send one regiment of the Indian Army and the war would be over within days if not week😁
So? Thats it?!
Why fight? Why sacrifice human life for political ends? This video reinforces my determination to adhere to God and his precepts.
Aris, u son of a ... U got some balls man. Unbelievable, I can imagine how boring it must be coming back home from work.
حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل في اعداء الاسلام

مو جنوب السودان معظمه مسيح ووثنية صع؟
The commander who came with him was killed😒🙁
Are the GENERALS running from the fighting or are they trying to get to all the money that they have stolen.
The good old vice before they sold out
Damn.. they really got sprayed up by some little kids huh
That journalist has got some serious balls!
Denka know Nuer very well
Can someone tell me who is wearing what camouflage pattern? There seems to be about 5 different uniforms here, and I would just like to know what groups are involved.
I think everyone the doc is focusing on is South Sudanese army. But, there are tons of factions and rebels groups that all have their reason for fighting. Their own version of the 'truth'. And each one seems to think they're in the right. So, when and if it ends, who's version of history will be written?
ever my nerf battles are more organised than south sudans army 😑😑😑
The only guy taking a position is the one with the camera, the rest of the guys are running around with Kalashnikovs.
worst teammates ever.
with no medic in field either? wow
Why fight if your gonna run
These men are not soldiers if they are abandoning their brothers in arms like this. They're not even men. They're weak, selfish, untrained boys. This is disgusting.
No, they aren't soldiers. Most of them are just civilians/farmers who barely know how to manage gun. And if you are a soldier as you say, you should knew that already. Thats why its called "CIVIL WAR"
Snikp Burn!
Everyone who is not a Soldier and specially people with their poorly trained would do the same not only black!
The problem is, that if the officers are the first fleeing it will go through all ranks; even trained soldiers will lose their moral. That's something you can see through history. The moral of an army is only so high as the moral of the leader in the field.
1 PLT of US Marines and this whole war is over in 2 weeks.
People r starving and they can afford a tank and helicopter?
Foraging for lunch? lol
Who is the masked guy on 1:46? On 1:38 he puts on a shirt in order to cover his uniform?
probably a mercenary, or how they're called today, a private military contractor
What a brave Camera man.
1:57 they blurred the reporter of BBC
This was the one of the better stories yet, although could have been filled out with a bit more back-story on the conflict. Right in the action though. When can we expect the full non-segmented video?
they don't scare those lions they soo brave respect thems from the north SDN
If the general don't want to die ! Why would a solder stand his ground
I have already seen that on the Vice channel.
where did the tank go when they needed it or is it just for show ? bet they dont have shells for it lol
Probably don't know how to operate it, honestly.
Phil Jones They would have shells for it, would of came from Ukraine and would be sold pretty cheap seeing as its A T70 variant and as you can see they can operate it?
Poorly informed and poorly organized army, let alone having any form of tactics.
Most important thing lacking is a solid stream of logistics. First thing they should do is just gather a ton of cars just supplying food and water and picking up wounded bodies and drive on and of from a nearby camp so the soldiers can keep fighting.
i think it also has to do with their iq too. these guys r not that smart. education is more important
Where is Tarzan when we need him? He could hold their mouths open, so they couldn't bite ya. o.O
If they used the money for the missiles for smoke granades they could easily defend but missiles with untrained person using it would do no damage sometimes gamer are more trained than others
This was so hard to watch. There isn't a shred of organization. They're worse than children. They don't grasp the concept of fighting as a Unit.
I can't believe how untrained the army is...
The soldiers lack training and discipline
Matatan 🤔 Ribirin HS,
Did cameraman tell them to speak in English or what?
Because none of Salva kiir soldiers knows English. 😂😂🤣
All of these pawns, and not 1 single medic.
The officers were cowards
The men were made leaderless.
In America, that's a court-martialin'
They don't seem to know how to fight a war :/
Nonsense army don’t hold on running away from fight
Omg africa is really god forsaken.
These soldiers dont have proper gears and equipment uniform dont even fit.
No properly trained offucers to lead the soldiers.
The soldiers are afriad of these rebels, i know it as the reall ARMY supposr to br strong and fearless five steps infront these rebels but apparently they are on the same level.
The army clearly had total tactical failure in every field either due to lack of training or just negligence. On the other hand, look out for Far Cry 4 Sudan that'd be awesome haha.
DO IT TO YOUR POEPLE AS YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF , BUT POEPLE MUST OBEY YOU , BUT MUST BE GENTTLE TO THEM , THEY ARE A SLOW EDUCATORS
The real understanding here is... Africa is always in some type of shit, eh?
* cue the nut job telling me it's Americas fault *
Look like there playing didn't have any proper training
What a gutless, leaderless rabble. Disgraceful.
The reporter is very fool to
Discuss the rebellions
No medic...very poor
As my dad would say, they're not very bright...
the south sudanese army are not organize as the rebels. i think the rebelz will. win the war
It is certainly a gripping thriller of uncertainty and death. You really did a very brave job excellently with great courage and confidence putting your life at risk several times. Salutes. Very nicely wrapping up the events. Keep going but be very careful from next time onwards 👍👍👍🙏🙏
Dinka are nothing to nuer throughout the history
i would never go there their soldiers dont even know how too fight
The U.S and few European countries were heavily influenced by the christian evangelical movements to SPLIT the united Sudan, with its multi ethnic and religious groups, ( Christians & Muslims), and caused all what you are watching now. It is a vicious crime committed by a zealout N.American evangilcals who worked tirelessly to LOBBY the govenment(s) for years and years until this happened. WOE be to THEM... they shall perish .... soon.
