I'm from sudan and currently living Inside the catastrophe so I appreciate your efforts to get the the word out, we are going through unbearable living conditions, my family lost access to 70% of our assets and our house in Khartoum probably got lotted, other than financial lost our life is on puss for nearly a year academically and generally.
Don't you somehow blame Israel cos Palestine or something? I'm sorry for the cynicism. I'm israeli and wish good upon you inshalla. Im just always amazed as how people think israel is somehow the problem in the middle east. 😑
As a Sudanese who lost everything because of this war, thank you for this, this is the most accurate explanation to the war. Truly a forgotten conflict.
@@Wailmur everyone escaped with duffel bags containing the essentials. Phones and passports and a few clothes because no one suspected that the war would last this long. I was there. I know how it was
I met a man who was one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan" from the Second Sudanese War. He and his little brother managed to escape into the desert when his Christian village was slaughtered during a raid by one of the Islamic militant groups. His little brother died in the desert, but he managed to find his way to a refugee camp. He was eventually sponsored by a Christian church group to come to the United States. He lived with a sponsoring family, who helped him find a job and enroll in school. He became a medical lab technician. When I met him, he was the Director for Laboratory Quality Control for a large public hospital system in Houston, Texas.
@@spartacus551 Both sides fight each other, unaware that they’re only so different from one another. Both Islam and Christianity are cut from the same Abrahamic cloth. Why do Abrahamic religions fight each other? “The reason is because they are absolutest, and they contradict each other. For example, In Judaism the Torah is the first, and final revelation (guidance) to mankind. The prophets, and the writings were only meant to guide the Jews back to the Torah. In Christianity the New Testament is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Tanakh. The New Testament is the second, and final revelation (salvation) to mankind. In Islam the Quran is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Torah (Tanakh), the Gospels (New Testament), and every other revelation to mankind. The Quran is the final revelation (guidance) to mankind. There can only be one true religion for absolutest religions.” - Dietleib Styria
@@spartacus551because the big christian countries started most wars the last 200 years and semi-enslave the rest of the world more or less and the USA are the final top power. China and russia are not going to win long term. NATO and United Nations are in western control. This video is very western biased. Many so called evil dictators weren't so evil and acted in the interest of their countries. Many so called terror attacks had been ochestrated by western military and later claimed it had been others. gadaffi was ki ll ed because he wanted a proper united currency for africa with gold standard and wanted to develop african independence, Osama Bin Laden wasn't the mastermind behind 9/11 and the invasion of afghanistan and even more iraq completly unjustified, the pro western iranian overnment under the Shah exploited the country in western favor what caused the revolution,...etc.
@@spartacus551 "Don't know why Muslims hate us Christians so much😓" Your crime is to not be Muslim, that is enough..... Ever heard of the Spanish inquisition? That was a time when Christians had the same level of arrogance that Muslims have today... but it was not sustainable once the Bible became widely known. The Quran though is less decisive to dissuade religious arrogance and fanaticism, so therefore these archaic mindsets continue to thrive to this day.
@@anderstermansen130 nobody really cares about Ukraine anymore either. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union has paid Russia $200 billion in fossil fuel payments, mostly for oil and gas. That makes the EU the largest enabler of Russia's war effort, ahead of China and India.
So, let me get this straight. Most African Conflicts: Step 1. Dictator Step 2. Uprising military coup against dictator. Step 3. Military Promises Elections. Step 4. Oops we forgot. Now we dictate. Step 5. See step 1.
Pretty clearly neither side has any moral high ground. Also the RSF atrocities are definitely not the whole story - you can't attract hundreds of thousands of volunteer fighters abroad by killing tens of thousands of their people.
also throw in that its almost always russia or chinas fault.... even though america, france, or england are almost always fucking with borders and planting puppet leaders that disrupt everything.
You forgot the most important reason why these conflicts still continue: Religion, the peaceful institution that was created to worship some kind of good god, that can be used to justify the most abhorrent human behaviour as righteous.
@@caedo6171 That doesn't make any sense. These borders are man made by other nations. The reason why there's corruption because Africans are not nationals they are divided on tribal and reilgious views no other countries are like this. How many different ethic groups like in Nigeria and Sudan ? There's 500 ethic groups in sudan alone. They don't identify as sudenese they identify by their ethnic groups that's why there's a civil war every damn 5 years in a African country each group wants to be in power. Then you got reilgion and language issues. We all know Muslim countries are not tolerant to other reilgion. So if you don't get to the root cause of why they keep fighting its disingenuous and low key racist.
@caedo6171 neo colonialism is still a thing as great powers like France, China, russia and the US still extract resources and play geopolitics within Africa and essentially help encourage corruption as the wealth and resources are taken from the general population and are given only to the elite and foreign nations
When I was in 8th grade, four young men from Sudan came to speak to us about their experience growing up in Darfur. I’m very saddened to hear that this nation is still suffering. Those men were very nice despite the very very awful things that they saw and had happened to them. It was one of the only times my rowdy class did not mess around or crack jokes. Every one else I have met from Sudan has been so nice. I hope this nation eventually heals and the Sudanese and their various populations can live in peace.
I am from Sudan and i had to leave my home and live in unbearable conditions in a far eastern state for 8 months, you don't know anything about war unless you experience it "and i hope none of you do" I've prospered in those conditions and learned a lot i am lucky to have family members abroad and i finally left last week and hoping to start a new. Much love for talking about this ❤
My Sudanese friend who's 22 years old went to visit his fsmily in Sudan back in summer of 2021 or when ever it was last safe and he's berb stuck there ever since. Evey once in s while he gets online and uodates on his situation and he's told me he was coming home in fall of 2022 that didn't happen then again in summer of 2023 that also didn't happen. He says there's a bunch of non sundanese people also stuck with them including Americans, Australians, British, Canadians and more. They are trying to make it to South Sudan which isn't as bad and hopefully get on flight out of this hell hole country. He's a young man who's lived in the USA since he was 3 yesrs old. This is all he knows and he was never interested in going back to Sudan he just did this time for his mom. Im sure he's scared its dangerous to be A male. Hope to see you soon Ammar!
I saw RSF rebels shooting from my window, even to already dead bodies. I will never forget those nearly 2 weeks trapped in Khartoum when the war basically broke out outside my building on that 15 April which changed everything. I was happy living in Khartoum. You’d be surprised of how kind, how nice, how brave the Sudanese people actually are. I was part of the UN’s transitional team who wanted the Revolution to really have an impact for Sudan’s future. A future that was promising when people took to the streets. It hurts to see that what I once called home is now considered “Africa’s Aleppo”. Nonetheless, what hurts the most is to see how the world doesn’t pay attention to Sudan’s bloodbath and humanitarian disaster. One of the world’s largest human catastrophes of our time. There are a few things to revise in this video as per historical and political context. There are also images/videos placed wrongly while you were speaking, which can cause confusion (like when you were talking about Burhan and showcasing South Sudan’s President or showing videos from the revolution/protests while talking about the war). Overall however is very good video to showcase what’s been happening and most importantly, who’s responsible for the fueling of this war and related conflicts.
You are an inspiration. I'm glad we have people like you who risk their lives and go to an unknown country to help the locals and make their life better!! O7
@@swell07_ Can't expect people to have the time or energy to care about problems going on elsewhere, when they are struggling to survive in a horrific conflict
Here a Sudanese guy. Just some corrections and things to note: 1. Burhan was not the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, it was Omar-Al-Bashir until he was overthrown. The Army then gave the position to Ahmed Awad ibn Awf who was unpopular with people for being perceived as too much of an El-Bashir loyalist so he didn't last longer than 48 hours. Burhan who was chief of staff was the second pick. 2. SAF is the military which was once the Sudan Defense Force under British Egyptian rule... so the military is actually older than the country as an institution. Al-Bashir regime created many other militias that acted beside the armed forces (operating as part of the extensive Sudanese internal Security apparatus) These militias include the Operations Authority (Islamist loyalists) who are currently fighting with the army, and the strengthened Central Reserve Police which got military level training. It must be noted that the Central Reserve Police was created by Jafaar Nimeri not Omar Al-Bashr, they were created to violently suppress tribal disputes. 3. Burhan is not Hemedti's rival (although both knew each other personally before the transitional period and there is a huge psychological-personal factor involved now as they take shots at each other occasionally.) The Army Command is much of a junta, the Military is an institution that believes the country belongs to it and that it's the rightful Guardian of Sudan. Burhan is just a figure head and equal to his fellow senior generals. Hemedti meanwhile got an almost stalinist cult of personality going around him and his Militia belongs to the "Daglo" family. Although there are some tribal elements to the RSF, they operate more as a criminal Organisation, almost like ISIS but they lack ideological motivation. They are just mercenaries and quite good at it. 4. Most Sudanese people don't like the National Army because of its history and incompetent leadership but everyone hates RSF who they spitefully call "Janjaweed" and "militia". The only folks in Sudan who like the RSF are probably those with personal links to it whether tribal or familial. The Army and RSF are not equals at all in the eyes of most Sudanese, however political parties here had been seeking to muddy the water and try to portray the Army as an "Islamist Militia" which is simply not true. Armed, Secular Rebel groups, Revolutionary Resistance Committees, Islamist regime loyalists have all been fighting alongside the army while putting aside their diffrences for now. I believe there is a somewhat pragmatic level of agreement against and a real of the RSF which is motivating these groups to fight alongside the Army (Each of these elements is weary of the Armed Forces because of History) 5. RSF started committing war crimes against "African" trib3s in Darfur immediately. Mostly the militias they are allied with. 6. The Sudanese Army bombings are indiscriminate not because of an intentional hatred of civilians as much as an irresponsible apathy to said civilians. Faulty intel and the use of primitive antinovs and migs are the main culprits leading to great human causalities and often not much harm against the RSF. The Sudanese Army had recently been fixing this problem (at least in the capital) by using drones (mostly commerical ones) to do precision strikes which helped it achieve some strategic success for the first time since the war. Still this had been condemned many times by people living in Sudan in areas still Army control.
On behalf of the Sudanese People, thank you for shedding light on the war in Sudan. We appreciate you sharing unbiased and accurate information. We trust that with your support and cooperation we can end the war in Sudan.

It’s all he does. It’s basically a large amount of research. And present it properly with good editing and animations such as the maps and all. Which he may have an editing team as well, maybe
Partly, by not proof listening. There are so many situations where the phrasing is extremely awkward, with surplus words. It's exactly what you get if you just proof read but don't proof say. "Was ALSO one of the world's most highly diverse countries AS WELL." 6:08

Thank you for covering this story. I'm Sudanese and although I've never lived in Sudan, people in my personal life have been affected by what is currently going on. My uncle had his home looted, 40 years worth of tireless work gone, this is the reality of many non-arabs in khartoum but unfortunately it feels like we're shouting into a void trying to inform the masses.
@@Omisaide Yeah bro, completely ignore *Russia* and all the other nations heavily involved. Just blame it on the West, and US in particular - who's just tangentially involved. 🙄 The propaganda is strong

Sudan has over 225 Nubian pyramids, more than any country in the world including Egypt which has 118 and only a handful are not in complete ruins and still standing (mainly at Giza). A further 80 of the Egyptian pyramids also ended up in Sudan after a historic border change. In war human life is obviously the priority but the protection of archeological/historical/art relics is also something but should also be considered, although it is nowhere near as important as preserving human life. Having seen the pyramids, they really are something special.
Well yeah, that makes sense seeing as Nubia was mostly in modern day Sudan. Same reason why Mexico has more Aztec pyramids then America and why there's more Saxon forts in England then in Italy.
Honestly bro I've just heard about this whole situation now, almost a year later, its insane how its ignored that much to the point where most people haven't even heard that it began Edit: the hell are all the comments flaming me because out of the 100 geopolitical channels I watch non of them covered this and also I'm just pointing this out
The world only cares about Africa when they need metals. DRC has more mineral wealth than any other country, yet it's one of the poorest countries on earth. No one cares that kids are dying there while mining the cobalt for batteries in electric cars, as long as they can keep their lifestyle at its current level.
The problem is there are more problems exactly like this at smaller scales its like trying to cover every wild fire on the planet ots gets ignored not because its so bad but because its just another tuesday in africa where they themsleves have the power to end the wars but then again the situation makes it worse eveeything being so interconnected in this world
The blood bath in Sudan is severely overlooked to a point that it actually hurts, I fear everday for the lives of my family members and friends in Sudan, our house and car are gone alongside with most of our savings, horrifyngly unknow future, but yet am considered to be one of the few luckiest people because I made it out of the country alive with my family. But I am certain that one day the Sudan that we dreamed and fought for in the revolution will actually rise, I just hope it'll be in my lifetime to witness it.
Im a sudanese myself,this situation is just sad, and the fact no one’s talking about this or documentaries explaining the worrying conflict,no one in sudan can make any videos about this,or explain thid online because they might get shot/killed, im glad one of my favourite youtubers is talking about this sad situations,Everyone needs to listen. Random edition:My school has made donations for morocco when during the tragedy of the earthquake,same for turkey and Palestine/Gaza (Im not saying i hate these countries,I will wlways and everday pray for the Adults and children that died and are injured from these tragedies)My school has never made a donation link for sudan.. There is so much that these people need,i just feel so helpless that i cant donate myself and saying that they should donate.
It's not personal really, people can only focus on so much and frankly nobody really knows anything about us. With major wars in Gaza and Ukraine, nobody has time for unimportant countries like Sudan 🤷 I'm Sudanese living in the west so I understand us and them. Also not all humans are treated equally.
An important and scary point is that there's very little donations that actually can reach anyone in Sudan, because most aid agencies aren't helping or are able to help.
i’m sudanese and it’s really sad how the recent war has barely any media coverage at all-we’re on the brink of famine and millions of sudanese people have been displaced; my heart aches for my people and my family, i can only hope that things can get better. ان شاءالله الأمور حتحسن. 🙏
I’m Sudanese and thank you for covering this. I’ve fled Sudan and I’m always thankful for that so maybe I haven’t really felt the suffering because I was only really there for 2 months during the war. I always appreciate someone using their platform getting the word out and I appreciate you especially for covering my country 🙏
The state of Utah takes Sudanese refugees and I’ve worked with them for years. I can tell you the one word that comes to mind when I think of them is strong. Many have endured the worst this world has to offer and yet are so strong, kind, and happy. Don’t get me wrong, you can see the trauma in many aspects of their lives. But they are more than their trauma. They’ve taught me a lot about the persevering spirit of humanity.
@@draculastraphouse7863 They can't because they don't know how to build their own countries and will die if they stay, so they have to move to countries where the people do know how to build a country.

@@draculastraphouse7863 Utah is a conservative state. Yet they see the value in taking refugees for two main reasons. 1: it’s the American way. We are supposed to be better than the rest of the world. With great power comes great responsibility. And 2: refugees have a positive impact on the economy. They come to work (usually jobs that most Americans refuse to do) and they pay taxes. They haven’t been a strain on our economy and they uplift our community.
@@draculastraphouse7863 we need to good policies that really help people instead of exploiting them. that said, most of the country is descended from refugees.

@@PickcheaMyanmar has the largest natural gas reserve in all of South Asia and is why the place was destabilized by Obama and then by Xi and then by MBS.

The sad thing is that as of now half of the country doesn't have access to internet or network services, no calls or anyway to know if our families are fine or to send them money
That's likely a major reason why the war isn't as famous as other African wars like Libya, similar to the virtually unknown tigray war, whereas the Ukraine war is so well documented that people are making memes about it and every missile in Gaza is filmed from 3 different angles.
finally someone actually cares for my country ever since we left sudan we missed it and it's super sad every time we think of it. even though we have Wi-Fi in KSA and stable food we still want our country back
@@swell07_Fight for who exactly? This war is a result of the greediness of two war criminals to rule the country. We Sudanese want nothing to do with any of the two and off course won’t fight for them. Best we can do is call for peace
That's a weak resolve. No wonder you guys are getting stepped on If this happened In the US 100 million regular citizens would put a stop to it with guns@mainmain862
I knew a dude from South Sudan- they were a bus driver. Nicest man in the world, just trying to make a better life for his family in the US as an immigrant. He would pick his kids up from daycare each time they drove us, going out of route just to help his family. I think that’s admirable, and people complained about it…
You think that's admirable? I would have reported him to his superiors for going out of route for personal reasons. He has other means of helping his family, since he is a bus driver, he receives a salary each month, which could be used for paying for transportation of his family.
It’s always the immigrants of such horrid countries who are always the hardest workers and the happiest people you’ll ever meet. My dad knew two brothers who fled Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime and genocide and they were the hardest workers he’d ever met. They were always so grateful for each day they continue to live and did so with massive smiles on their faces.
It's a confusing mess, but it's clear which side is the right side: the side of ordinary people who just want to live a peaceful, productive life. All of these problems are caused by those who want to consolidate power for themselves, in one way or another.
Ya but if you're not russian the right choice is not the rsf clearly; I'm sure some mushroom men enforce stricter bed times and archaic punishments or restrictions than others, like religious people here, until the darkness that sustains and protects them is all gone, without always the most essential non-profits like well digging, and prescence coming from the us, as I can keep pretty busy at our local watering well myself these days though?
@@michaelborror4399 My point is - neither "side" struggling for power is the right one if they don't put the wellbeing of the regular person first. Be free to argue who is less bad.
@@michaelborror4399 Please tell me that was a typo and you mean the SAF. The RSF was originally supposed to dissolve into the national army letting civilian powers take over. The RSF has masacared villages and brought in the most outside assistance and allowed mercenaries to loot cities for their service. The SAF is the right side and it's not even close
Chevron is just casually minding their own business pumping all that oil and paying the people peanuts, Africans just don't realized that they have nothin but enemies, who's only goal is to keep them poor and fighting each other, while robbing them of their resources, notice no one is attacking the resources, only the people.
Thanks for talking about our forgotten war. As we feel that you stand by us and try to remind the world of our current situation, and for the next time; please make sure to use Sudan's full map.
Thank you for the video. It is so hard to keep up with everything going on around the world, especially when you need to know so many details to begin to understand the situation.
It's pathetic the mainstream media doesn't even cover this, or much of anything anymore. I mean, Trump and Biden are important to discuss, but it's all they do 24/7. They fucking suck.
Myanmar was never correctly told from the start as foreign interest financed the problems to gain control of the gas reserve in Rakhine which the Saudis intended on carving out and making into a Brunei. This destabilized the western part of the country to such that its now the Wild West of the East, and a lot of Christian NGO’s are financing the ethnic violence, playing it like it’s a chess match
The war really affected me and my family iam a sudanese teenager myself and i was forced to flew the country bc of the war my did couldnt come with us bc he had to care for my grandma and so me and my mom and 2 sisters flew to egypt in there i suffered alot pf depression bc i couldnt seet alot of my friends and i didnt even know if they are alive or not and to make it even worse after 3 months my grandma died it was at this point i genuinely thought of ending it all but thanks to my mom who been all by my side and my dad always reassuring me i stayed strong, i just wish we could turn back in time.
As a Sudanese, it pains me how my countrymen kill each other instead of uniting as one body, but unfortunately foreign interventions are working to prevent this from happening.
I recommend the book “What is the What” by Dave Eggers for anyone interested in learning more about the Sudanese conflict, it is the true story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, Valentino Achak Deng, who fled Sudan as a child. Phenomenal book
I'm from sudan and I really appreciate you shedding some light on the tragedy that is happening in sudan since last year . me and my whole family and extended family have been kick out of our homes by the RSF and lost nearly all of our assets and everyday we hear about a friend or a relative's death weather killed by the RSF or torn into shreds by the military's booming . We've done nothing wrong ... we don't even know why the 2 armies are fighting yet we're the ones that suffers the most . the Internet was shut off for more than 2 months were we were staying we'd all gather around the TV and see if there's any news about the situation in sudan since we couldn't leave our houses and we had no idea what was happening but no one talked about it , it wasn't even mentioned and it was so frustrating and left me wondering... are we not human beings? Does our lifes not matter? So I mean it when I say I appreciate what you're doing ❤
As an Arab I have to say that the UAE is the reason, they are ones who supported the RSF in tbeir coup to make sure they ru-in Sudan so it doesn't become a competitor to their monopoly over the middle east, they did the same with Libya in 2014 and Yemen
Really appreciate the video in which exclusively explained the main reason for the ongoing conflict. A lot of people don’t know what’s going on which has to do with the things that have happened decades ago.
Stuff like this always makes me glad my country, Nigeria, was created/colonized by the British and not Arabs. We have issues and a long history of problems but nothing as bad as what Arabized Africa has.
The same genocide is happening in Northern Nigeria only slower because the nation state is still intact albiet badly run and mismanaged but intact non the less, but it's happening.
I am Sudanese and i have heard sum reports of Human trafficking. Someone I know lived in the war and said the RSF would go around looking for girls and kidnap them, on a mass scale, not just here and there. Someone once had to marry off his daughter to let the rest of his family escape, a sacrifice that no father should ever do but this father was forced by circumstance.
Thanks for making this video, it was really needed since people tend to overlook Sudan over other countries with conflicts in my opinion! :( Much love and strength to the people of Sudan from the Netherlands 🇸🇩🤝🇳🇱
I'm not in any way an expert on Sudanese history but it seems like to me that Sudan should have never been divided, and that the entire idea that any part of Sudan was ever rightfully Arab is beyond ridiculous. The so-called "Sudanese Arabs" are generally of partial indigenous Sudanese descent themselves.
Correct. Arab in Africa is more a linguistic identity. The conflict in darfur has been primarily between nomadic and farmer communities. There aren’t really any Arabs in Darfur.
I do believe the same. But for a different reason. when sudan and egypt and literally half of "arabian africa" was controlled by muslim caliphates for literally over a thousand years there was very few, if any historic civil wars in these regions on the scale we see today, when they were united by the fact that they were human, not just "arabs" or """"muslims"""" (islam forbids this distinction when treating others, and it promotes treating everyone equally, black, white, muslim, non-muslim, arab, whatever, treating everyone equally is a must to be considered a muslim. and infact the word "islam" comes from "peace" which is the absolute main point of islam.) Back in that era there was prosperity and growth that modern "arabian africa" lacks, yeah they have technology now, yeah they don't live in huts of tree leaves anymore, but they are actively killing themselves, and in my opinion that's worse than when they were living in caves let alone huts of leaves. the modern borders of ethnicity and religion we see today is primarily caused by, (in my opinion), 1-nationalism and 2-colonialism by the europeans. yeah the europeans got rich and won in the end, but that cost africa its future and many many many many countless lives of people. and obviously if you abuse your power with your new weapons against tribes people you will win, but history will remember you as a warmonger and criminal forever, not to mention the very hot hell waiting for you after death.
@@igameidoresearchtoo6511 Sure, peace is important in Islam, but it isn't the "absolute main point", the main point of Islam is monotheism, worshipping non-other than Allah (God). Yeah, Islam has the root S L M in arabic that means peace, but it actually means submitting your will to Allah. (think about الاستسلام)
It feels weird watching those videos, Sudan, Ethiopia, most of the African countries and even Turkey with the Armenian/Kurdish situation, every single time you mention a very ethnically diverse country, with very different people with very different cultures and worldviews inside the same border, it makes it feel like it’s less of a strength and more of a weakness unlike I’ve been exhaustively told and wanted to believe all my life.
Yeah how this channel talks about non-Western people and powers really soured me to this channel and caused me to eventually unsubscribe. Particularly, how he spoke on what's happening in Gaza affected me, but like you said it's pervasive.
I feel like without strong trust in social institutions (schools, police, etc.) and a separation of powers/ check and balances it doesn't work as well. That's why I am fearful of the total lack of trust in our intuitions in the US but also feel the the same why because we live in an oligarchy rather than democracy due to the power of lobbyists
@@sir.richard5346 No. They're a mess because they want to be like that. Lots of countries are rich in resources, and they're not like Sudan. And if what you say is true, then what is your grand plan to stop these outside forces from meddling?
Africa, due to it's geography and culture, will not have stable elections for the foreseeable. It will not become like the west and modernise. That's is a lie that history or geography teachers say to kids. Its strange that most people in the west believe it will get better for Africa without questioning how. But it is far from a given. Its not due to external powers, Africa has always been like this on a broader scale. Aid just helps the people keep their heads above water, or go in the pockets of corrupt politicians.
@cashewnuttel9054 they want to be? Do you hear yourself You think people want to be poor you think they want dictators to kill them if outside country's stopped supporting dictators then they wouldn't last that long
@@sir.richard5346the mess was started internally, the countries for whom it's a proxy are just adding fuel to the fire and supporting the sides they want to win.
This conflitcs really shines a light on the colossal hypocrisy of many people that pretend to deeply care about other conflicts because of humanitarian reasons.
This video like all them are informative and detailed. This is also a great reminder of how inaction against aggression and violence gives the allure that it is unstoppable and acceptable an therefore will be repeated.
I'm a Sudanese who got lucky and find my way to US just before the war takes place, I my self contributed in the revolution in 2018 which cost me years of my youth. It's depressing how things went out right now, and it has been more than a month since the shutdown of the internet, not a single message or response from family and friends💔 the burden is unbearable. May Allah have mercy on who ever affected by wars🙏🏽 Thanks for your efforts and PLEASE Talk more about SUDAN 🇸🇩 & G@ZA 🇵🇸🙏🏽
"The last genocide in the region" is a chilling phrase Its genuinely crazy how many people in the world live in countries where a genocide is a constant risk rather than a phrase you cover in history class
I like the content and it’s great that you are shining a light on this conflict. You absolutely should cite sources for this and your other videos. I want to be able to share this video and do further reading on the topic but can’t because you do not cite sources. I don’t feel comfortable sharing a piece of information with someone when there are no sources cited, and that is a shame because I like the content you make. I have been saying this for a year now, I hope eventually you can start citing sources so that others can verify the validity of your claims. It would be required on a child’s book report, it is absolutely required for discussions of modern conflicts.
6:07 But I've been told that diversity is our greatest strength. Shouldn't this mean that Sudan would be incredibly united and strong? Oh, no, it didn't, it meant the exact opposite...
Thank you for this very interstingt topic. I didn't knew anything about this terrible situation. But I have a quick note here, Sudan is not the largest country in Africa. It's the third largest, after Algeria and Congo.
I like how Op of this video says that it's just "migration" and other fancy words when it comes to colonialism of Arabs/muslims. Like, "Muslim arabs migrated to Sudan" like wtf? Was it their land or something? Call things what they actually are, Muslim Arabs colonised Sudan or at least tried to the point that the majority of Sudanese are speaking Arabic. But when there is Britain or any other "white" powers, now we can use those infamous buzz words like "colonialism"/"conquering" and etc I know OP called it conquering in relation to Britain and Egypt, but I'm wondering if he would call it that if it was only Egypt? Because you will never hear them saying "Jewish people migrated to palestine", they will be using all the buzz words for that "colonialism/white supremacy/west is bad/genocide" and etc
They don't say that about Sudan because its a lie the Arabic migration is not as huge to left behind it 40 million Sudanese the Arabic Tribes are one in Sudan its called al Rashyda the others are Nubian or fula or a punch of west African groups they called themselves arabs because their skin colour is brighter than most of the people in Sudan and their hair is soft not curly just like arabs

I met a man who was one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan" from the Second Sudanese War. He and his little brother managed to escape into the desert when his Christian village was slaughtered during a raid by one of the Islamic militant groups. His little brother died in the desert, but he managed to find his way to a refugee camp. He was eventually sponsored by a Christian church group to come to the United States. He lived with a sponsoring family, who helped him find a job and enroll in school. He became a medical lab technician. When I met him, he was the Director for Laboratory Quality Control for a large public hospital system in Houston, Texas.

@@spartacus551 Both sides fight each other, unaware that they’re only so different from one another. Both Islam and Christianity are cut from the same Abrahamic cloth.
Why do Abrahamic religions fight each other?
“The reason is because they are absolutest, and they contradict each other.
For example,
In Judaism the Torah is the first, and final revelation (guidance) to mankind. The prophets, and the writings were only meant to guide the Jews back to the Torah.
In Christianity the New Testament is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Tanakh. The New Testament is the second, and final revelation (salvation) to mankind.
In Islam the Quran is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Torah (Tanakh), the Gospels (New Testament), and every other revelation to mankind. The Quran is the final revelation (guidance) to mankind.
There can only be one true religion for absolutest religions.”

Your crime is to not be Muslim, that is enough..... Ever heard of the Spanish inquisition? That was a time when Christians had the same level of arrogance that Muslims have today... but it was not sustainable once the Bible became widely known. The Quran though is less decisive to dissuade religious arrogance and fanaticism, so therefore these archaic mindsets continue to thrive to this day.

@@anderstermansen130 nobody really cares about Ukraine anymore either. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union has paid Russia $200 billion in fossil fuel payments, mostly for oil and gas. That makes the EU the largest enabler of Russia's war effort, ahead of China and India.
So, let me get this straight.
Most African Conflicts:
Step 1. Dictator
Step 2. Uprising military coup against dictator.
Step 3. Military Promises Elections.
Step 4. Oops we forgot. Now we dictate.
Step 5. See step 1.
Pretty clearly neither side has any moral high ground. Also the RSF atrocities are definitely not the whole story - you can't attract hundreds of thousands of volunteer fighters abroad by killing tens of thousands of their people.
also throw in that its almost always russia or chinas fault.... even though america, france, or england are almost always fucking with borders and planting puppet leaders that disrupt everything.
You forgot the most important reason why these conflicts still continue: Religion, the peaceful institution that was created to worship some kind of good god, that can be used to justify the most abhorrent human behaviour as righteous.
@@caedo6171 That doesn't make any sense. These borders are man made by other nations. The reason why there's corruption because Africans are not nationals they are divided on tribal and reilgious views no other countries are like this. How many different ethic groups like in Nigeria and Sudan ? There's 500 ethic groups in sudan alone. They don't identify as sudenese they identify by their ethnic groups that's why there's a civil war every damn 5 years in a African country each group wants to be in power. Then you got reilgion and language issues. We all know Muslim countries are not tolerant to other reilgion. So if you don't get to the root cause of why they keep fighting its disingenuous and low key racist.
@caedo6171 neo colonialism is still a thing as great powers like France, China, russia and the US still extract resources and play geopolitics within Africa and essentially help encourage corruption as the wealth and resources are taken from the general population and are given only to the elite and foreign nations
When I was in 8th grade, four young men from Sudan came to speak to us about their experience growing up in Darfur. I’m very saddened to hear that this nation is still suffering. Those men were very nice despite the very very awful things that they saw and had happened to them. It was one of the only times my rowdy class did not mess around or crack jokes.
Every one else I have met from Sudan has been so nice. I hope this nation eventually heals and the Sudanese and their various populations can live in peace.
unfortunately, it’s wishful hope. Sudanese live under sharia law
They are good people, and hospitable.

My Sudanese friend who's 22 years old went to visit his fsmily in Sudan back in summer of 2021 or when ever it was last safe and he's berb stuck there ever since. Evey once in s while he gets online and uodates on his situation and he's told me he was coming home in fall of 2022 that didn't happen then again in summer of 2023 that also didn't happen. He says there's a bunch of non sundanese people also stuck with them including Americans, Australians, British, Canadians and more. They are trying to make it to South Sudan which isn't as bad and hopefully get on flight out of this hell hole country. He's a young man who's lived in the USA since he was 3 yesrs old. This is all he knows and he was never interested in going back to Sudan he just did this time for his mom. Im sure he's scared its dangerous to be A male. Hope to see you soon Ammar!

I saw RSF rebels shooting from my window, even to already dead bodies. I will never forget those nearly 2 weeks trapped in Khartoum when the war basically broke out outside my building on that 15 April which changed everything. I was happy living in Khartoum. You’d be surprised of how kind, how nice, how brave the Sudanese people actually are. I was part of the UN’s transitional team who wanted the Revolution to really have an impact for Sudan’s future. A future that was promising when people took to the streets. It hurts to see that what I once called home is now considered “Africa’s Aleppo”. Nonetheless, what hurts the most is to see how the world doesn’t pay attention to Sudan’s bloodbath and humanitarian disaster. One of the world’s largest human catastrophes of our time.
There are a few things to revise in this video as per historical and political context. There are also images/videos placed wrongly while you were speaking, which can cause confusion (like when you were talking about Burhan and showcasing South Sudan’s President or showing videos from the revolution/protests while talking about the war). Overall however is very good video to showcase what’s been happening and most importantly, who’s responsible for the fueling of this war and related conflicts.

😂😂😂🎉😢😮yyuuuiiiiooooooppppppooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiujjjjj😢😅😮😂🎉😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Here a Sudanese guy. Just some corrections and things to note:
1. Burhan was not the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, it was Omar-Al-Bashir until he was overthrown. The Army then gave the position to Ahmed Awad ibn Awf who was unpopular with people for being perceived as too much of an El-Bashir loyalist so he didn't last longer than 48 hours. Burhan who was chief of staff was the second pick.
2. SAF is the military which was once the Sudan Defense Force under British Egyptian rule... so the military is actually older than the country as an institution. Al-Bashir regime created many other militias that acted beside the armed forces (operating as part of the extensive Sudanese internal Security apparatus)
These militias include the Operations Authority (Islamist loyalists) who are currently fighting with the army, and the strengthened Central Reserve Police which got military level training. It must be noted that the Central Reserve Police was created by Jafaar Nimeri not Omar Al-Bashr, they were created to violently suppress tribal disputes.
3. Burhan is not Hemedti's rival (although both knew each other personally before the transitional period and there is a huge psychological-personal factor involved now as they take shots at each other occasionally.)
The Army Command is much of a junta, the Military is an institution that believes the country belongs to it and that it's the rightful Guardian of Sudan. Burhan is just a figure head and equal to his fellow senior generals. Hemedti meanwhile got an almost stalinist cult of personality going around him and his Militia belongs to the "Daglo" family. Although there are some tribal elements to the RSF, they operate more as a criminal Organisation, almost like ISIS but they lack ideological motivation. They are just mercenaries and quite good at it.
4. Most Sudanese people don't like the National Army because of its history and incompetent leadership but everyone hates RSF who they spitefully call "Janjaweed" and "militia". The only folks in Sudan who like the RSF are probably those with personal links to it whether tribal or familial. The Army and RSF are not equals at all in the eyes of most Sudanese, however political parties here had been seeking to muddy the water and try to portray the Army as an "Islamist Militia" which is simply not true. Armed, Secular Rebel groups, Revolutionary Resistance Committees, Islamist regime loyalists have all been fighting alongside the army while putting aside their diffrences for now. I believe there is a somewhat pragmatic level of agreement against and a real of the RSF which is motivating these groups to fight alongside the Army (Each of these elements is weary of the Armed Forces because of History)
5. RSF started committing war crimes against "African" trib3s in Darfur immediately. Mostly the militias they are allied with.
6. The Sudanese Army bombings are indiscriminate not because of an intentional hatred of civilians as much as an irresponsible apathy to said civilians. Faulty intel and the use of primitive antinovs and migs are the main culprits leading to great human causalities and often not much harm against the RSF. The Sudanese Army had recently been fixing this problem (at least in the capital) by using drones (mostly commerical ones) to do precision strikes which helped it achieve some strategic success for the first time since the war. Still this had been condemned many times by people living in Sudan in areas still Army control.

Sudan has over 225 Nubian pyramids, more than any country in the world including Egypt which has 118 and only a handful are not in complete ruins and still standing (mainly at Giza). A further 80 of the Egyptian pyramids also ended up in Sudan after a historic border change. In war human life is obviously the priority but the protection of archeological/historical/art relics is also something but should also be considered, although it is nowhere near as important as preserving human life. Having seen the pyramids, they really are something special.

It's a confusing mess, but it's clear which side is the right side: the side of ordinary people who just want to live a peaceful, productive life. All of these problems are caused by those who want to consolidate power for themselves, in one way or another.

could u explain about this
The war really affected me and my family iam a sudanese teenager myself and i was forced to flew the country bc of the war my did couldnt come with us bc he had to care for my grandma and so me and my mom and 2 sisters flew to egypt in there i suffered alot pf depression bc i couldnt seet alot of my friends and i didnt even know if they are alive or not and to make it even worse after 3 months my grandma died it was at this point i genuinely thought of ending it all but thanks to my mom who been all by my side and my dad always reassuring me i stayed strong, i just wish we could turn back in time.
I’m sorry to hear this, I hope Sudan can find salvation
Thank you for making this 💜
As a Sudanese, it pains me how my countrymen kill each other instead of uniting as one body, but unfortunately foreign interventions are working to prevent this from happening.
Let's keep it real a good 40% of RSF aren't even Sudanese
Al da3m alsaree3 are mostly not sudanese tho just armed mercenaries.
@@ahmedabdalla6541 Then who are the RSF if not Sudanese.
@@arbaz79 Hemedti's birthplace is disputed between Chad and Sudan. And Large number of the RSF fighters are Sahel mercenaries.
Syrians,Israelis,Nigerians.. the list goes on@@arbaz79
Amazing video. I knew almost none of the information you said about conflict. It's crazy how the Gaza war gets like 100 times more coverage than this.
hands down the best geopolitics channel
AJHAGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sudan reminds me of Suzerain...
It's not, Caspian Report is better for instance.
by an absolutely VAST and DEVESTATING margin
Most entertaining, perhaps. Definitively not the best in terms of quality and accuracy of information. Not the worst, but far from the best.
I recommend the book “What is the What” by Dave Eggers for anyone interested in learning more about the Sudanese conflict, it is the true story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, Valentino Achak Deng, who fled Sudan as a child. Phenomenal book
I'm from sudan and I really appreciate you shedding some light on the tragedy that is happening in sudan since last year . me and my whole family and extended family have been kick out of our homes by the RSF and lost nearly all of our assets and everyday we hear about a friend or a relative's death weather killed by the RSF or torn into shreds by the military's booming .
We've done nothing wrong ... we don't even know why the 2 armies are fighting yet we're the ones that suffers the most .
the Internet was shut off for more than 2 months were we were staying we'd all gather around the TV and see if there's any news about the situation in sudan since we couldn't leave our houses and we had no idea what was happening but no one talked about it , it wasn't even mentioned and it was so frustrating and left me wondering... are we not human beings? Does our lifes not matter? So I mean it when I say I appreciate what you're doing ❤
As an Arab I have to say that the UAE is the reason, they are ones who supported the RSF in tbeir coup to make sure they ru-in Sudan so it doesn't become a competitor to their monopoly over the middle east, they did the same with Libya in 2014 and Yemen
Damn really gulf arabs are the bad ones I guess.
Really appreciate the video in which exclusively explained the main reason for the ongoing conflict.
A lot of people don’t know what’s going on which has to do with the things that have happened decades ago.
As Egyptian it’s break my heart to my brothers and sisters in Sudan suffering from 2 parties divided the country
Thank you for making a video about sudan's crisis. News are not covering this topic anymore
Great video as always! Could you please do one on the conflicts going on in Mozambique?
I am from sudan and I've been in Khartoum.Thank you for spreading the word. Most people dont have a clue about the on going catastrophes
I hope you see better times in the future
Most people don’t interested African and Middle East bullshit war is your full time hobby
As a Sudanese, I deeply appreciate this video.
RLL you're by far my favorite RUclips channel and every time a video comes out it makes me so happy!!!
Stuff like this always makes me glad my country, Nigeria, was created/colonized by the British and not Arabs. We have issues and a long history of problems but nothing as bad as what Arabized Africa has.
But what is the diffrence when you have the whole north following the "religion of peace"
The same genocide is happening in Northern Nigeria only slower because the nation state is still intact albiet badly run and mismanaged but intact non the less, but it's happening.
I am Sudanese and i have heard sum reports of Human trafficking. Someone I know lived in the war and said the RSF would go around looking for girls and kidnap them, on a mass scale, not just here and there.
Someone once had to marry off his daughter to let the rest of his family escape, a sacrifice that no father should ever do but this father was forced by circumstance.
ALL THE INFO YOU NEED IS IN THIS VIDEO. THANKS 💯💯💯💯
Thanks for making this video, it was really needed since people tend to overlook Sudan over other countries with conflicts in my opinion! :(
Much love and strength to the people of Sudan from the Netherlands 🇸🇩🤝🇳🇱
I'm not in any way an expert on Sudanese history but it seems like to me that Sudan should have never been divided, and that the entire idea that any part of Sudan was ever rightfully Arab is beyond ridiculous. The so-called "Sudanese Arabs" are generally of partial indigenous Sudanese descent themselves.
Sudaneae Africans are too busy trying to bugger one another, to stop more organized peoples from buggering them all.
Correct. Arab in Africa is more a linguistic identity. The conflict in darfur has been primarily between nomadic and farmer communities. There aren’t really any Arabs in Darfur.
I do believe the same.
But for a different reason.
when sudan and egypt and literally half of "arabian africa" was controlled by muslim caliphates for literally over a thousand years there was very few, if any historic civil wars in these regions on the scale we see today, when they were united by the fact that they were human, not just "arabs" or """"muslims"""" (islam forbids this distinction when treating others, and it promotes treating everyone equally, black, white, muslim, non-muslim, arab, whatever, treating everyone equally is a must to be considered a muslim. and infact the word "islam" comes from "peace" which is the absolute main point of islam.)
Back in that era there was prosperity and growth that modern "arabian africa" lacks, yeah they have technology now, yeah they don't live in huts of tree leaves anymore, but they are actively killing themselves, and in my opinion that's worse than when they were living in caves let alone huts of leaves.
the modern borders of ethnicity and religion we see today is primarily caused by, (in my opinion), 1-nationalism and 2-colonialism by the europeans.
yeah the europeans got rich and won in the end, but that cost africa its future and many many many many countless lives of people.
and obviously if you abuse your power with your new weapons against tribes people you will win, but history will remember you as a warmonger and criminal forever, not to mention the very hot hell waiting for you after death.
@@igameidoresearchtoo6511
Sure, peace is important in Islam, but it isn't the "absolute main point", the main point of Islam is monotheism, worshipping non-other than Allah (God). Yeah, Islam has the root S L M in arabic that means peace, but it actually means submitting your will to Allah. (think about الاستسلام)
I hope all countries are able to solve their problems peacefully for the sake of their people.
The issue is some issues are propped by other countries merely existing
It feels weird watching those videos, Sudan, Ethiopia, most of the African countries and even Turkey with the Armenian/Kurdish situation, every single time you mention a very ethnically diverse country, with very different people with very different cultures and worldviews inside the same border, it makes it feel like it’s less of a strength and more of a weakness unlike I’ve been exhaustively told and wanted to believe all my life.
Yeah how this channel talks about non-Western people and powers really soured me to this channel and caused me to eventually unsubscribe. Particularly, how he spoke on what's happening in Gaza affected me, but like you said it's pervasive.
Islam is allways involved. Thats why
I feel like without strong trust in social institutions (schools, police, etc.) and a separation of powers/ check and balances it doesn't work as well. That's why I am fearful of the total lack of trust in our intuitions in the US but also feel the the same why because we live in an oligarchy rather than democracy due to the power of lobbyists
@@Magenschmerzenno
Unfortunately, some regions of the world just can't seem to get their sh*t together. The cycle of violence will just keep repeating.
'Proxy' war haven't you been paying attention to the video if outside forces stopped messing with the regions it would heal
@@sir.richard5346 No. They're a mess because they want to be like that. Lots of countries are rich in resources, and they're not like Sudan.
And if what you say is true, then what is your grand plan to stop these outside forces from meddling?
Africa, due to it's geography and culture, will not have stable elections for the foreseeable. It will not become like the west and modernise. That's is a lie that history or geography teachers say to kids. Its strange that most people in the west believe it will get better for Africa without questioning how. But it is far from a given. Its not due to external powers, Africa has always been like this on a broader scale. Aid just helps the people keep their heads above water, or go in the pockets of corrupt politicians.
@cashewnuttel9054 they want to be? Do you hear yourself You think people want to be poor you think they want dictators to kill them if outside country's stopped supporting dictators then they wouldn't last that long
@@sir.richard5346the mess was started internally, the countries for whom it's a proxy are just adding fuel to the fire and supporting the sides they want to win.
This conflitcs really shines a light on the colossal hypocrisy of many people that pretend to deeply care about other conflicts because of humanitarian reasons.
Yes, you are right in this comment
Am very grateful for the channel to talk about Sudan crisis
An excellent documentary!! Very sad what is happening in Dafur!
Thank you so much for informative video! ❤
And I always think its neighbor, DR Congo, is worth a news as well.
Could you occasionally make videos of areas that are secretly doing better than people know?
thank you for covering what's happening in sudan and with great details too, it's really complicated but hopefully peace will embrace sudan soon.
This video like all them are informative and detailed. This is also a great reminder of how inaction against aggression and violence gives the allure that it is unstoppable and acceptable an therefore will be repeated.
Thanks for the great information
Could you imagine how much longer these videos would be if he didn’t talk so fast?
Only channel that commits to cover anything with common sense and give awareness to people
Religion and greed. Nothing ever changes. There's no hope for humanity as a whole.
Plenty of hope. Things are much better now than back in the day; way less people dying.
I'm a Sudanese who got lucky and find my way to US just before the war takes place, I my self contributed in the revolution in 2018 which cost me years of my youth. It's depressing how things went out right now, and it has been more than a month since the shutdown of the internet, not a single message or response from family and friends💔 the burden is unbearable.
May Allah have mercy on who ever affected by wars🙏🏽
Thanks for your efforts and PLEASE Talk more about SUDAN 🇸🇩 & G@ZA 🇵🇸🙏🏽
Do you travel to USA illegally???
You have been sheltered by the west and still show no empathy towards Ukraine, racist and ungrateful
@@lizakhan2207 No, I've got a permanent residence.
People talk about Gaza all the time. It isn't overlooked at all.
Perfect, a RLL video to start the weekend.
Week end lol I notice a pattern here weekend week end geddit
"The last genocide in the region" is a chilling phrase
Its genuinely crazy how many people in the world live in countries where a genocide is a constant risk rather than a phrase you cover in history class
Man South Sudan must be so happy to be separated.
They made the right decision. Got the oil too! Now they just need to hold onto it and not let the West screw them over for it.
South Sudan is doing much worse
@@MOBXOJ I wonder why *cough* Oil *cough* Western undermining *cough*...
@@MOBXOJ No S. Sudan is atleast better than sudan
@@Klaus74-yd1ur It really isn’t, South Sudan has been suffering from famine, civil war, ethnic violence from the very day it got independence.
The Arab colonization has damaged Africa so much it's awful.
South Sudan is like the chill dude being affected by crazy neighboor
U
Guess what religion the crazy neighbors are
Amazing work 👏🏾👏🏾
I like the content and it’s great that you are shining a light on this conflict. You absolutely should cite sources for this and your other videos. I want to be able to share this video and do further reading on the topic but can’t because you do not cite sources. I don’t feel comfortable sharing a piece of information with someone when there are no sources cited, and that is a shame because I like the content you make. I have been saying this for a year now, I hope eventually you can start citing sources so that others can verify the validity of your claims. It would be required on a child’s book report, it is absolutely required for discussions of modern conflicts.
How about.... using the internet....like he did?
@@NickanM What. Not trying to be snarky here but I have no idea what you mean
Takknemlig for denne videoen ❤
I pray for the poor people of Sudan to get rid of the harsh civil war very very soon. Ameen

But I've been told that diversity is our greatest strength. Shouldn't this mean that Sudan would be incredibly united and strong?
Oh, no, it didn't, it meant the exact opposite...
Thank you for this very interstingt topic. I didn't knew anything about this terrible situation. But I have a quick note here, Sudan is not the largest country in Africa. It's the third largest, after Algeria and Congo.
It WAS the largest before the referendum.
@@ChinnuWoW I see, I got this wrong.. thank you for correcting me

why are you using footage from Lahore, Pakistan in a video about sudan?
Reverse colonialism has been a disaster for everyone involved, except the few that profit from chaos and misery.
Am from South sudan but thanks 🙏🏾 for shedding light on the facts.
I like how Op of this video says that it's just "migration" and other fancy words when it comes to colonialism of Arabs/muslims. Like, "Muslim arabs migrated to Sudan" like wtf? Was it their land or something? Call things what they actually are, Muslim Arabs colonised Sudan or at least tried to the point that the majority of Sudanese are speaking Arabic.
But when there is Britain or any other "white" powers, now we can use those infamous buzz words like "colonialism"/"conquering" and etc I know OP called it conquering in relation to Britain and Egypt, but I'm wondering if he would call it that if it was only Egypt?
Because you will never hear them saying "Jewish people migrated to palestine", they will be using all the buzz words for that "colonialism/white supremacy/west is bad/genocide" and etc
They don't say that about Sudan because its a lie the Arabic migration is not as huge to left behind it 40 million Sudanese the Arabic Tribes are one in Sudan its called al Rashyda the others are Nubian or fula or a punch of west African groups they called themselves arabs because their skin colour is brighter than most of the people in Sudan and their hair is soft not curly just like arabs
Hey, I love your videos, but the last 2 seem to have had some audio changes that have made them difficult to listen to with earbuds. It sounds like the gain on vocal audio is a bit too high, so that it's almost distorted sounding.
the word Janjaweed is like the word Paratrooper, ie translates to a trooper (Arabic: "Junndi") utilizing a horse (Arabic: "Jaweed"), hence "Janjaweed".
I am also sudanese and live in UAE
my father predicted this and prepared for it
he sent us out 1 month before war
my whole family escaped hamdullilah
I hate the censorship of RUclips comments on topics like this.
@@davidgarcia5593 Censorship is good because it protects the vulnerable.

@@cashewnuttel9054I sometimes agree.
Sudan will be front page news if Peace ever breaks out there.
Muslim and Arab colonialism still going on and yet not a single Muslim speaks about what is happening in Sudan
They are racist.
if it can't be blamed on the west fully or in part radio silence.....
What can we say? Ppl will just rather keep quiet.
So many are talking about Sudan, your media does not mention Sudan at all and you blame us for it being unknown?,in mudlim countrys every day we pray for our brothers😅
I used to think Sudan was sedan and I thought it was named after the car
This explains why south Sudan chose to break away
There used to be a sizeable community of Greeks there too
Athena
The Goddess Of Wisdom
When I used to live in Sudan the principal of my school was greek. Very nice man.
What happened to them?
@@Chungus581Most of them left Sudan by the year 2000, and most of them were working in trade. There is a city called Kosti in central Sudan, named after a Greek merchant called Costa. The eastern neighborhood of Khartoum was called Greek Khartoum because it contained most of their homes, shops, clubs, and even their places of worship. They were integrated into the Sudanese culture, The Sudanese were sad when they leave the country
They were more Sudanese than they were Greek
Not forgotten in Australia. Most of the people in Sudan seem to have emigrated to Australia. They are now culturally enriching their new home country.
It's so sad to witness the world we live in. Watching this, I feel like I shouldn't have anything, my heart goes out to every victim involved
