Rick Balliet bro I totally agree. Vice is incredibly goofy with their liberal beliefs but I cannot deny their sheer bravery in bringing stories like these to us.

That senior government official who was killed there was my uncle. Imagine he was in Kenya for treatment when war broke out in December. 3 days later, he got a call from government to come and resume his duty and that’s how we lost him in that reckless fight. He was a breadwinner not only to his family but to the whole community at large. Since that day, we are all experiencing his absence everyday. Me and some other cousins drop out from school since we were not able to afford our school fee. It’s so sad to see our people being blindfolded to fights each other just because of INDIVIDUALs’ INTEREST.💔
Why are africans fighting just because of some few politicians decisions. this is so sad.. most war in the world are lead by people who suffere not direct consequences

+BIONIK DIKK Don't you think this is a manipulation as well? if the UN is involved and tanks you can bet it's a set up deal. The UN UK AND US .have their stink all over this and all these other conflicts all over the world. There aren't rebels they are people with crappy small arms trying to keep the UN OUT. But they don't even know the names of the enemy. just like the war on drugs and poverty whey it's the government that is creating both.
BIONIK DIKK You are right about this but; I can smell propaganda and deception. pretty well. I listened to Obama's address to the UN concerning AGENDA 21 oher wise known as SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. When I add all the pieces of the puzzle together I know all these civil wars were planned and prompted by UK UN and US. In is speech he reaffirmed the commitment of this nation to lead the way into a era of Sustainable development on a GLOBAL SCALE. He specifically targeted Africa and the diseases and civil wars. WELL HIS/ THE UN's means of correction is EUGENICS. What do you think about that?

Honestly really heartbreaking hearing everyone saying they want peace, to be as one, and lamenting about their brothers and sisters dying in the fighting rebels included. War is hell.
Isn't rebels just hostile civilians? When did you ever hear an occupied country's army being called rebels? Yes the rebels arrived with a tank company protected by air support with the front rebel infantry flanking in a pincer movement.
@@Ahmad-oi9cu rebels could be armies aswell, like a province or state rebel from the central government that's does have a military that is well trained. example the KNU and KNLA in Myanmar have have over 15 thousand troops and even own businesses within the country their rebelling against to fund their army.
wow, as someone who trained as a cadet just watching the ' militaries tactics' was rather painful. just a rabble of men and boys with guns, i feel sorry for those poor souls they have no idea what to do.
I think they're actually just used to guriella warfare, where if their not the ones on the offence then automatically they think to retreat even if they have superior forces.
if you've ever been in a firefight then you know. Just because you are being trained as a cadet gives you any right to speak down on them. I have seen US officers turn tail and run quicker then the reporters.
I worked and lived with 2 men from Sudan. One was from the north, and one was from the south. One was a devout Muslim, the other a catholic with tribal beliefs and decorative scars on his face. These two men never fought. They said the fighting was always instigated by others and that most Sudanese hated the fighting. I asked if they missed their homeland and if they ever wanted to go back, even just to visit. They said they had no desire to return at that point. They would return when kids stopped carrying AK47s and the fighting had stopped. Sadly, they fear that this won't happen in their life time.
The general is an idiot and a very confuse Nuer who was the victims of that war as his own kin were massacres by his evil Dinka master in juba Nuer onslaught, so I am very grateful when I watch this video potage becoz I was amongst the first Nuer forces who mutiny right and among those who lay downs those ambushed I really enjoy watching this vice news potage.
@@turialgonyruach5985 its sepratust thinking like this that keep Nuer and Dinka hating eachbother. Peace camnot be reached unless we heal and move on. We have to for out countries survival.
Fucking heroes you are. no biased remarks like other media outlets and risking your life just so we could know about the situation on the ground. Thank God for VICE news and their balls-of-steel reporters.
these people live there lives in ways we couldn’t imagine, hats off to those who take a stand and fight for there countries even if there countries haven’t gave them much
Lol they dont buy those... they are remnants of cia and kgb wars for control of africa We still dump weapons into the region, aswell as when regimes change (often) old stock piles get distributed to new shooters
"And last week our General had his lunch money stolen by a semi-organized gang of street urchins. His bodyguard surrendered shortly thereafter" - Probable event
Can't rush to judge; because I can imagine what was going on in the mind of the soldiers, 1st you see badly injured soldiers in the helicopter on your way to battle then you have the car accident then you start seeing dead bodies of soldiers all peppered on the side of the road while you are still on your way to the contact zone and then when you get there you are welcomed by a crazy ambush. So these men even the general had already been inflicted a psychological blow. One really needs to be very trained mentally or have had a lot of experience to keep a cool head. And all these keyboards commenters who are making fun of these dudes don't really know what they are talking about. They compare the US army who has all sorts of logistical help; I bet you if they take those same Navyseals and give them the same logistics as these rebels they would be fleeing that scene even faster.
You can rush to judge because the training and doctrine is obviously not up to par. Had it been a professional military, they would've secured the side of the town they were attacked from and set up perimeters and everyone there would be on alert for quite some time. They didn't secure the town, they didn't set up good perimeters and they opted to forage around and get comfy and lose all cohesive discipline.
@@lostsaxon7478 This is your assumption; that's the 1st line of contact, and the video showed that the convoy travel through a zone that appeared to be secured even signs of recent battles were evident. Therefore, your assumptions are just baseless and unfounded how can you just claim that they didn't secure and set up perimeters; since you are the military expert here; if there was a way of securing conquered parts that is so infallible American troops wouldn't have fled Vietnam, Irak and as of right now Afghanistan wouldn't they? Just saying, common sense. War is not a video game I have been around it; it's like having sex if you haven't experienced it you actually don't know what it is.
@@Brocambro1 the video itself says the attack came from the other part of the town that wasn't secured dumbass. Was in the Infantry in the US Army and I've banged my fair share of women. How about you Mr/Mrs/Xer virtue signaler who wants to make excuses for poorly and untrained forces being so?
With the least bit of communication, a few walkie talkies, this probably would have ended differently. These guys have no communication with each other, how the hell are 70% of these guys supposed to know where the enemy is, when the infantry that is engaging them can't even call for reinforcements? No wonder they just ran off without even knowing what was going on.
@@shavingryansprivates4332 never said Guerrilla warfare was or wasn’t effective. Just Africa as a whole is disorganized. Seriously regular services like fire departments and police are lacking and disorganized, politics is a joke, government anything is a disorganized joke. Honestly the only country in Africa that isn’t a disorganized mess to the extreme is Egypt well maybe Morocco I guess to an extent. But yeah Egypt is somewhat organized so they can function to a limited extent which only shows in there bigger cities. Heck if you visited South Africa tell me how organized it is? The country where the government promoted White Genocide and took all the White Farmers Land and removed white people from serious infrastructure jobs and next thing you know it we have White Genocide with crimes worse than Germany during WW2 against ANYONE. You have massive crop failures to the point farming was useless, massive inflation to the point people where forced to use cryptocurrency in by a large part, oh and infrastructure failures such as water works. And the country by majority thought this was acceptable since black people now was running everything and not the qualified people that just so happens to be white. Heck if you get robbed try going to the police tell me how well that works out even if your black as the midnight sky. Trust me it’s not gonna work out. This is just one country in Africa. I can go on for days if I wanted to get detailed on every country. I can do only about 3/4 of all African country’s but the other 1/4 I can only tell you what has failed but not full extent of details. My parents where born and raised in Africa for there parents where missionary’s. So growing up I had a interest in Africa and sick of it from all the different failures due to poverty, cultural differences, greed, and a good chunk of Africa from going from tribal life to civilized life by means of technology and government and not given the time to adapt properly and fully understand how a government should be ran and how. Seriously I have no idea what my grandparents and parents love about Africa but that’s a different story. Honestly though white and or Asian country’s should take over Africa redraw some country lines and restructure Africa while educating the people in masses with atleast a basic middle school education and leave only when the locals can run there own government properly from the bottom up with a bare basic educated population.
True. One thing that would scare me the most in such situation would be sudden realization that presence of large number of troops together with overconfident general has in reality nothing to do with relative safety when things go south.
Tbf, we’re talking about African officers. Their specialty are medals and corruption, not fighting. Except for that young dude from Sanford... Who’s soldiers fled with his vehicle, Lololol
I'm no tactical expert, but find the SPLA to be rather unprofessional; no trigger discipline, no reconnaissance, no CAS, and charging blindly into fire.
Truth be told America only left Afghanistan because it was loosing public support at home and burning through their pocket not because of a military defeat@@shavingryansprivates4332
That General was talking shit about the rebels about how poorly trained they are but then once contact is made the entire force is scattered. That was a very effective ambush for untrained civilians.

In South Sudan the recruiter just knocks on your door, hands you the uniform, rifle and out you go to war.
That abandoned young commander is conversant with the nature of war in that area, he's a real soldier,
and the way that journalist did not let him talking about the propaganda of trying to make it a tribal war, is really making me wonder the true identity of the journalist
he sounds dumb as f@ck and he's the best south Sudan has to offer. no wonder that country is sheeet

+BIONIK DIKK Don't you think this is a manipulation as well? if the UN is involved and tanks you can bet it's a set up deal. The UN UK AND US .have their stink all over this and all these other conflicts all over the world. There aren't rebels they are people with crappy small arms trying to keep the UN OUT. But they don't even know the names of the enemy. just like the war on drugs and poverty whey it's the government that is creating both.
DALE thebelldiver I'm aware of all those truths, never said it wasn't, but those networks I mentioned, DON'T EVEN SHOW NEARLY THIS MUCH.
BIONIK DIKK You are right about this but; I can smell propaganda and deception. pretty well. I listened to Obama's address to the UN concerning AGENDA 21 oher wise known as SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. When I add all the pieces of the puzzle together I know all these civil wars were planned and prompted by UK UN and US. In is speech he reaffirmed the commitment of this nation to lead the way into a era of Sustainable development on a GLOBAL SCALE. He specifically targeted Africa and the diseases and civil wars. WELL HIS/ THE UN's means of correction is EUGENICS. What do you think about that?

Honestly really heartbreaking hearing everyone saying they want peace, to be as one, and lamenting about their brothers and sisters dying in the fighting rebels included. War is hell.
I feel sorry for the soldiers in an army like that.
And I doubt they are even getting paid regularly 🤷🏻♀️ or maybe not at all.

You think they even have that? That’s funny, last time I checked they don’t.
The “commander” literally admitted his enemies were civilians and not trained soldiers.
I mean yea what else could they be, they're rebels
Isn't rebels just hostile civilians?
When did you ever hear an occupied country's army being called rebels?
Yes the rebels arrived with a tank company protected by air support with the front rebel infantry flanking in a pincer movement.
@N. R like what men being women???
@@Ahmad-oi9cu rebels could be armies aswell, like a province or state rebel from the central government that's does have a military that is well trained. example the KNU and KNLA in Myanmar have have over 15 thousand troops and even own businesses within the country their rebelling against to fund their army.
Rest in peace the soldiers that died on duty.
wow, as someone who trained as a cadet just watching the ' militaries tactics' was rather painful. just a rabble of men and boys with guns, i feel sorry for those poor souls they have no idea what to do.
As soon as they heard guns blazing during dinner, they simply booked it. The situation appears to be...quite hopeless..
I think they're actually just used to guriella warfare, where if their not the ones on the offence then automatically they think to retreat even if they have superior forces.
some halfass action is better than no action
if you've ever been in a firefight then you know. Just because you are being trained as a cadet gives you any right to speak down on them. I have seen US officers turn tail and run quicker then the reporters.

I worked and lived with 2 men from Sudan. One was from the north, and one was from the south. One was a devout Muslim, the other a catholic with tribal beliefs and decorative scars on his face. These two men never fought. They said the fighting was always instigated by others and that most Sudanese hated the fighting. I asked if they missed their homeland and if they ever wanted to go back, even just to visit. They said they had no desire to return at that point. They would return when kids stopped carrying AK47s and the fighting had stopped. Sadly, they fear that this won't happen in their life time.
As the general says, "there is no tribe that will make a country". I wonder if he meant that and whether he represents the common view of the Dinka's?
The general is an idiot and a very confuse Nuer who was the victims of that war as his own kin were massacres by his evil Dinka master in juba Nuer onslaught, so I am very grateful when I watch this video potage becoz I was amongst the first Nuer forces who mutiny right and among those who lay downs those ambushed I really enjoy watching this vice news potage.

Can't rush to judge; because I can imagine what was going on in the mind of the soldiers, 1st you see badly injured soldiers in the helicopter on your way to battle then you have the car accident then you start seeing dead bodies of soldiers all peppered on the side of the road while you are still on your way to the contact zone and then when you get there you are welcomed by a crazy ambush. So these men even the general had already been inflicted a psychological blow. One really needs to be very trained mentally or have had a lot of experience to keep a cool head. And all these keyboards commenters who are making fun of these dudes don't really know what they are talking about. They compare the US army who has all sorts of logistical help; I bet you if they take those same Navyseals and give them the same logistics as these rebels they would be fleeing that scene even faster.
So, basically the US mariners gets just as scared ?
@@arturogomez4381 yes
You can rush to judge because the training and doctrine is obviously not up to par. Had it been a professional military, they would've secured the side of the town they were attacked from and set up perimeters and everyone there would be on alert for quite some time. They didn't secure the town, they didn't set up good perimeters and they opted to forage around and get comfy and lose all cohesive discipline.
@@lostsaxon7478 This is your assumption; that's the 1st line of contact, and the video showed that the convoy travel through a zone that appeared to be secured even signs of recent battles were evident. Therefore, your assumptions are just baseless and unfounded how can you just claim that they didn't secure and set up perimeters; since you are the military expert here; if there was a way of securing conquered parts that is so infallible American troops wouldn't have fled Vietnam, Irak and as of right now Afghanistan wouldn't they? Just saying, common sense. War is not a video game I have been around it; it's like having sex if you haven't experienced it you actually don't know what it is.
@@Brocambro1 the video itself says the attack came from the other part of the town that wasn't secured dumbass. Was in the Infantry in the US Army and I've banged my fair share of women. How about you Mr/Mrs/Xer virtue signaler who wants to make excuses for poorly and untrained forces being so?
With the least bit of communication, a few walkie talkies, this probably would have ended differently. These guys have no communication with each other, how the hell are 70% of these guys supposed to know where the enemy is, when the infantry that is engaging them can't even call for reinforcements? No wonder they just ran off without even knowing what was going on.
in-experienced and undisciplined army.. with moral hanging by a thread..
I think you mean morale.
Sounds like the vast majority of Africa, disorganized down to the last person.
@@Watcher413 guerella warfare is hard.
@@shavingryansprivates4332 never said Guerrilla warfare was or wasn’t effective. Just Africa as a whole is disorganized. Seriously regular services like fire departments and police are lacking and disorganized, politics is a joke, government anything is a disorganized joke. Honestly the only country in Africa that isn’t a disorganized mess to the extreme is Egypt well maybe Morocco I guess to an extent. But yeah Egypt is somewhat organized so they can function to a limited extent which only shows in there bigger cities. Heck if you visited South Africa tell me how organized it is? The country where the government promoted White Genocide and took all the White Farmers Land and removed white people from serious infrastructure jobs and next thing you know it we have White Genocide with crimes worse than Germany during WW2 against ANYONE. You have massive crop failures to the point farming was useless, massive inflation to the point people where forced to use cryptocurrency in by a large part, oh and infrastructure failures such as water works. And the country by majority thought this was acceptable since black people now was running everything and not the qualified people that just so happens to be white. Heck if you get robbed try going to the police tell me how well that works out even if your black as the midnight sky. Trust me it’s not gonna work out. This is just one country in Africa. I can go on for days if I wanted to get detailed on every country. I can do only about 3/4 of all African country’s but the other 1/4 I can only tell you what has failed but not full extent of details. My parents where born and raised in Africa for there parents where missionary’s. So growing up I had a interest in Africa and sick of it from all the different failures due to poverty, cultural differences, greed, and a good chunk of Africa from going from tribal life to civilized life by means of technology and government and not given the time to adapt properly and fully understand how a government should be ran and how. Seriously I have no idea what my grandparents and parents love about Africa but that’s a different story. Honestly though white and or Asian country’s should take over Africa redraw some country lines and restructure Africa while educating the people in masses with atleast a basic middle school education and leave only when the locals can run there own government properly from the bottom up with a bare basic educated population.
