    A south Sudanese refugee actually came and spoke at my school a few weeks ago and she had to walk 1600 miles to Kenya to escape the civil war, her name is Nyibol Bior and she published a childrens book about her story in 2021 called My Beautiful Colors, she’s now a teacher who teaches special needs classes and she’s doing really well

    One of my good friends in college was from South Sudan. I loved watching his eyes gleam talking about being from "the newest country in the world" and about their constitution and stuff. It was sad hearing in later years how much civil war / oil / corruption had hurt his country (both before, and after their independence). His apartment was so bare bones it was crazy to me. He slept on a thick blanket (no "real" bed) and had his engineering textbooks, and his laptop for homework, and that was it. He had nothing else--only what he needed for his education. I need to facebook him and see how he's doing.

My first cousins had to move out of their home last year because their village was overtaken by militia. They now live in a refugee camp in Uganda, a country that they had never visited before. It hurts my soul, because they used to be regular kids, going to school and singing in the church choir, watching movies, and riding bikes, but now they have looked war and disease and death in the eyes and have become practically homeless in a year and a half. It is really difficult for my parents to contact their siblings, let alone send resources. War is truly a terrible thing.

He said it was literally the worst place he could think of on planet Earth, that he experienced and witnessed a lot of horrific things there due to the constant conflict. One day a typical edgy teenager in my class was talking about how anarchy is better than a dictatorship, and my teacher was pretty quick to shoot that down. at least in a dictatorship there's basic infrastructure.

      Darfur is in west sudan, and theres no genocide, theres some bandit groups from chad who trying to get a grip of that regiom because it has oil, the thing is, they never achieved anything, because they are bunch of thieves on horses and ak47s.

    So first Sudan had its civil war that resulted in South Sudan splitting off, and then South Sudan had its own civil war going on (though it sounds like some peace is going on currently), so what if they just keep splitting, like next, South-East Sudan gains independence, but then it has some civil wars, leading to the independence of South-South-East Sudan, and so on, forming a golden ratio spiral of Sudans
