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 favorite fact about South Sudan is that my favorite singer/rapper, Emmanuel Jal, is not only from there but was at one point literally a child soldier and after running away became Riek Machar and his British wife’s adopted son until the wife died in a car accident and Riek gave him the boot. Now he lives in Canada and is one of the most popular musicians in Africa. He also gave a ted talk and wrote an autobiography!

I'm South Sudanese. I was in South Sudan when you uploaded this video. (Also keep in mind that throughout these decades, even now, thousands of of my people, my relatives, have been slaughtered mercilessly.) 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.
My highschool history teacher did some charity work over in South Sudan, and he told me once that it was Hell. 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. A country as war torn as South Sudan just has... nothing.
Well, that just depends on the dictatorship you compare it to. I'd think living in South Sudan is still better than living under the Khmer Rouge. Of course that's like comparing pestis and cholera.

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

TL;DR - Sudan got into a war with itself for ethnic and religious reasons, and several decades later, the chunk that _finally_ split off... got into a war with itself... for ethnic reasons.
it's all about oil sudan refuse to give western big oil company control over its oil so they started finance rebel and brought 50000 mercenary from neighbors country to fight the sudan government and take control over oil places in sudan every african country that has a lot of oil and refuse to give it for free to oil company they did the same shit to them algeria libya Mali nigeria to name a few

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
Silence, shut up before they make the united republic of south-south-eastern south-west south-Sudan
They'll keep on dividing themselves until they're down to splitting atoms

TL;DR - Sudan got into a war with itself for ethnic and religious reasons, and several decades later, the chunk that _finally_ split off... got into a war with itself... for ethnic reasons.
it's all about oil sudan refuse to give western big oil company control over its oil so they started finance rebel and brought 50000 mercenary from neighbors country to fight the sudan government and take control over oil places in sudan

Fun fact: Sudan's independence of Egypt and England has lead to the only piece of unclaimed land in the world
There’s also a bit of Antarctica 🇦🇶
They’re not “unclaimed” per se, it’s that both sides think that Bir Tawil belongs to the other nation. Either side claiming ownership of Bir Tawil would lose ownership of the prosperous Halaib triangle region. Fascinating history
