Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching this episode of Atlas on Sudan’s conflict. This video is just a start to understanding what’s going on. We didn’t go deeper into the wars in Darfur and South Sudan, but if you’d like to learn more I recommend the two books below: 1. Darfur: A New History of a Long War www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/darfur-a-new-history-of-a-long-war/ 2. First Raise a Flag: How South Sudan Won the Longest War but Lost the Peace www.amazon.com/First-Raise-Flag-South-Longest/dp/0190052708 -Rajaa
Why is Middle East always in War or Africa always in War?! Maybe if the people learn to give up their Religious practices and Learn to adapt to moderation of Democracy they would have No wars. America and UK make me sick they always Helping like causing more war and war crime with Russia and Ukraine this all eventually turn into WW3 Nuclear ☢️ holocaust in 2024
I was trying to do research on this situation - an assignment asked me to write the current head of state of Sudan - and couldn't make heads or tails of it, so this video helped sum it up nicely. Two powerful men toppling hope for democracy - it's horrid.
Powerful men everywhere have no power without the people. My friend from Sudan, whom I met while we were studying in China, sent me a message yesterday. He expressed heartbreak over the war in his country. He has lost family members because of it. I hope that peace eventually reigns for the people there.
As a Pakistani watching this video, i do feel for the people of Sudan because almost the same thing is happening in our country. Only difference is our army is united in making sure the civilians stay quiet. They have managed to create a system who runs the state and even control the narratives. They let you criticise them but draw a circle around it so nobody should talk the heinous crimes they are doing.
@@muhammadahmadbehlim8929 The henious crimes happening in Kpk and Balochistan for good 50 years. People are abucted and then you won't even know where are they ir whether they are alive or not.
I can't believe that no one thought putting Burhan and Hemeti in the administrative roles for the TC was a bad idea. How did anyone think that two men vying for power being placed in powerful roles wouldn't backfire later?
Oh, everyone thought it was a horrible idea. Protests occurred because of it. These two men were still the most powerful in Sudan, so it would have been incredibly hard and destabilizing to not let them there, although now looking back it probably would have been better to keep them out.
They kept them in so that they could maintain their neocolonialist interests in the region, a government controlled solely by the protesters would be less willing to compromise and more likely tend towards protectionism
This is the best reporting I've watched so far. It was as though the rest who tackled this subject were in a hurry, and assumed that we all live in Sudan. So balanced, so nuanced, this explainer.
@@AndorranStairway seems pretty accurate to me , tho we don't really know who's behind all this we know it should stop before it leads to more damage to an already broken country
you know what? this epic video explains the hole situation million times better than ANY TV-Doku. it's not even a topic in news😢 news is all about Ukraine. so million thanks to you guys for putting up this epic piece!😘 love your content 😘
The funniest part about the constant Ukraine coverage is that most of what media houses report can just be covered by an armchair expert. Meanwhile, they neglect every other important current event happening around the world for "ratings".
I was born in a country that never had democracy. I realized thousands years of authoritarian rule change the national character of a people. It stifles any modern collective consciousness and intellect. People become selfish, cowardly and violent at the same time. The worst of human nature get immensely magnified and there will never be rule of laws under authoritarian regimes. Rule of men reign supreme. It undermines national identity. Unfortunately, authoritarian perpetuates itself. Overthrowing a regime is easy. Establish democracy requires national consensus. That is extremely difficult. Arab spring is a perfect example of that. It went from dictatorship to theocracy to secular dictatorship again.
خامت كلمة تشمل كل الغزاة و احفادهم من هجروا من كنعان (قبل وجود مملكة اسرائيل و حكم النبي سليمان) و استوطنوا ارض مزراح بن حام بن نوح الخامتيين نخبة نبذت الفلاحين عاملتهم مثل البهايم و الخامتيين اليوم شعب بائد و لا لهم وجود اليوم الا في الاثار و الخراب و اللي حكموا مصر من 1805م الى ثورة الفلاحين في 1952م عائلة (قوسقو) الالبانية المغولية و اعترفت حكمها على مستعمريها مصر و السودان من السلطان التركي المغولي حاكم قسطنطينة و نفس العائلة المغولية (قوسقو) هي من صنعت مستعمراتها في شرق افريقيا و هي من اعطت اسمها (السودان) و لم تكن دولة او حتى كيان سياسي باسم (السودان) قبل 1823، مجرد بعض الدويلات بحكم طاغي و اعمار متخلف جدا الهوية (السودانية) هوية زائفة و مصطنعة عند بعض من لم يذكر اسم جده و جد جده الخ و ايضا حكم السيسي و زبائنه الشراذم لا يمثل الرأي الحقيقي عند الشعوب و الاجناس في مصر و الصعيد و النوبا و سيناء... ...من حجازيين و اقباط نصارى و نوبا و عوائل شركاسية و ارمينية و تركية و فلاحين الخ
I won’t be able to say that I am happy to see a video talking about war in my country, I guess we are still in denial. However, I appreciate the effort put into this and the summary is good, one thing we learned from years under dictatorship is how important for such documentation to exist somewhere because people forget. good job 👏🏾 I am a fan.
@@ocean6462 I went back to the chart again and I think I misunderstood it the first time, Azhari was head of the government twice so I got confused of who was overthrown by who I apologize, I will remove the comment
Not just "thousands" died: 2003. A conflict in Sudan's western Darfur region flares, pitting rebels against government forces backed by a militia known as "Janjaweed", which roughly means "devils on horseback". Some 300,000 people are killed and millions are displaced. Violence persists even after a peace deal is reached in 2020. Bashir is charged by the International Criminal Court with orchestrating genocide and other atrocities in Darfur.
Given the USA’s history of supporting dictatorships such as the Saudi one (& many others), as well as our support for repressive democracies like Israel, it id actually very believable (sadly😢). Good comment though!! 👍
This is better researched and put together with a full timeline unlike Johnny Harris's video. I appreciate the effort put into not just talking about what is currently occuring but the full history of Sudan. Keep up the great work! Edit: I still enjoyed Johnny Harris's video and I suggest you go check it out as well. Its great that so many are reporting on the senseless bloodshed going on in Sudan right now.
Great reporting from Vox as we're used to! However, one important component in this whole story was missed! which is the spectrum of political parties that played a key role in how these military dynamics eventually unfolded throughout the post-revolution period. The real betrayal of the Sudanese People came from those.
@@vignotum132 It needs a report of its own quite honestly! but in a nutshell, most of them instigated and provided political coverage to these military components to go about their ventures throughout the transitional period. Almost non of them have taken the will of the Sudanese People and Resistance Committees (Neighborhoods-based horizontal organizational structures that have spearheaded Sudan's pro-democracy movement since 2019.) into account. For them, power and legitimacy are in the hands of military components, not the people!
Not only is it sad that this is happening, but that the energy of the international community is focused on a different conflict, merely because they just don't see themselves in the suffering parties.
As a Sudanese that's been living abroad all my life and seeing things from far perspective imma make it short and easy Sudan has so many resources and the evidence behind that is: 1.The northen part of sudan is rich with gold 2.The western part of sudan there is agricultural land 3.The easten part of sudan has the red sea 4.The south part of sudan has so much petrol under it's land That itself makes us targeted by so much countries that want Sudan's resources. and if you educate yourself with history you will know that an oppressors will do anything to get money even if it will make them by any chance start a war, and war itself is psychologically hurtful more than physically, but know that an oppressor will always have an end no matter what.
Thank you very much for this full information of what's really and literally happening in sudan . I will keep sharing vidos like this to let people know what is really happening in sudan , and to keep talking about sudan , keep going . It's great job
Great video! Whose idea was it to trust the two military leaders to voluntarily hand over power to the protesters within 18 months? I'm no expert, but that seems like it was an obviously terrible idea.
That's kinda the issue. They're not the leadership the country wanted, but they ARE the people with real power. In control of the military and natural resources. The public protested fiercely and got a transitional council with nearly half the seats filled by members of the military dictatorship
I think you missed out on how the RSF is being heavily financed by the Wagner Group (A.K.A. Russia) and how the Sudanese Armed Forces are being supported by China as Sudan is key to China's belt and road initiative in Africa.
This is what you want to believe as truth but sadly it isn't. It is not possible for RSF to have a different sponsors when they are actually the same. The SAF formed paramilitary forces the RSF to help Shutdown rebellion in Darfur.
@@nintendo1709 They trained and stayed in the same military barracks and they are still using the same weapons SAF gave them. The only difference now is that SAF is having the taste of their own medicine. Worst still RSF is still supplied by SAF as they capture more strategic places for weapons. This wager group financing is just a conspiracy. Let SAF contain the monster they created silently without conspiracies.
I'm not sure what the international community can do besides invading them to remove them forcefully from power, which, I guess we all know how that will end " omg Sudan was invaded". On top of it there's multiple countries involved with each on of them supporting one or the other, which makes it more complicated.
@@0816M3RC in theory you're right, and that's how it should be, but practically that has never been the case since civilization started to emerge, and I'm not referring to Africa only, all continents have tried to conquer each other at a certain stage or pulled nasty moves during wars. Hopefully something unexpected for all parties happens to those two generals and things calm down. My heart breaks for the poor civilians.
@@modelbashir2365 I'm no expert however to assume the UN as a whole is anti military dictatorship is quite optimistic. Unfortunately authoritarian regimes are now at least as strong in the UN and globally as democratic ones, so I wouldn't take it as a given that the UN will agree on an intervention on the side of civilians. If the US was to do this it'd need to be unilateral with NATO allies, or they'd need to convince Russia, China, and all others to agree to oust a likely cooperative regime.
👏🙌🌍 This concise yet informative report is truly impressive! As a fellow citizen, I share your surprise and appreciation for the detailed coverage. It's crucial that this war concludes swiftly, bringing peace and stability to Sudan. Let's hope for a brighter future ahead and continue to support efforts towards resolution and progress. 🕊🤞💪
do your people really want peace and stability? i often see when people are crying for democracy, but yet still they wont tolerate people of different religious backgrounds, people who are LGBTQ, people who don't believe in god etc.
Overlaps aside, two videos can exist. Johnny’s video approaches the conflict from a diplomatic angle mentioning key ties that risk being severed as a result. Whereas, Vox focuses on the fate and condition of Sudanese peoples. Both do a good job
Me and my family have been waiting 3 years to go to Sudan after having to wait 2 years cause of covid and 1 year cause of my sister getting a paspport, and 2 months before we were meant to be going, this war broke out. I still hope we will be able to reunite with our family again
Would be better if you explained how international influence, both covert and overt, were involved in all the various coups and wars and the resources at play - not just mentioning it at the end as if the US is a savior bringing democracy.
While I don't necessarily trust either the SAF or the RSF, I will throw it out there that the RSF is at the very least the main one responsible for this conflict. They do what they do pretty much just because Hemedti wants all the power. Supporting someone who wants that is never a good idea.
that's a really good explanation to the situation there from non arabic media platform i am a sudanese and i confirm it all i hope things get better in sudan so i can go back sometimes i wish i staid and died with my brothers
As a Sudanese citizen I'm actually surprised i never expected to find such a short yet detailed report i Salute you and i hope this war comes to a close as soon as possible

Hope you are safe
May God bless you all

Glory to Sudanese democracy! You Sudanese deserve one, deserve to have the power to put out leaders as you please.
I have a question: why can't countries like yours never form a democratic state with elections every few years?
This is best explainer I have watched on this Sudan crisis.
Africa my continent plagued by unnecessary wars by men with fragile egos.
It's necessary..for us to appreciate democracy.
Africa has the highest birth rates in the world which helps to fuel more wars
It has nothing to do with ego. It's all about money and power.

It's just sad how all these revolutions ultimately fail even when they succeed

That seems the natural cycle of revolution. Ultimately tho these men will be replaced with democratically elected leaders.
Because they don't know how to run a country, all they know is how to fight.

I Somali and this war reminds me so much of the Civil War in my homeland. This war in Sudan is first and foremost a Tribal War.
As a Sudanese that's been living abroad all my life and seeing things from far perspective imma make it short and easy
Sudan has so many resources and the evidence behind that is:
1.The northen part of sudan is rich with gold
2.The western part of sudan there is agricultural land
3.The easten part of sudan has the red sea
4.The south part of sudan has so much petrol under it's land
That itself makes us targeted by so much countries that want Sudan's resources.
and if you educate yourself with history you will know that an oppressors will do anything to get money even if it will make them by any chance start a war, and war itself is psychologically hurtful more than physically, but know that an oppressor will always have an end no matter what.
Thank you very much for this full information of what's really and literally happening in sudan . I will keep sharing vidos like this to let people know what is really happening in sudan , and to keep talking about sudan , keep going . It's great job
Great video! Whose idea was it to trust the two military leaders to voluntarily hand over power to the protesters within 18 months? I'm no expert, but that seems like it was an obviously terrible idea.
Oil companies
ah... they wanted a quick fix stability to make money from oil rather than actually solving the issue. that's... painfully predictable.
Literally no one demonstrations have not stopped literally a week before this sudden conflict this was a deeply unpopular coup
That's kinda the issue. They're not the leadership the country wanted, but they ARE the people with real power. In control of the military and natural resources. The public protested fiercely and got a transitional council with nearly half the seats filled by members of the military dictatorship
@@modkhitf are you talking about? Sudan is the only country with an industry that makes money? You don't see every other country not in civil war?
Vox is one of the best places to find information on anything because they explain everything in detail and I have respect for
I think you missed out on how the RSF is being heavily financed by the Wagner Group (A.K.A. Russia) and how the Sudanese Armed Forces are being supported by China as Sudan is key to China's belt and road initiative in Africa.
This is what you want to believe as truth but sadly it isn't. It is not possible for RSF to have a different sponsors when they are actually the same. The SAF formed paramilitary forces the RSF to help Shutdown rebellion in Darfur.
@@malualmarengajou5359 that was then and this is now. It’s widely known that the RSF is being funded by Russia
@@nintendo1709 They trained and stayed in the same military barracks and they are still using the same weapons SAF gave them. The only difference now is that SAF is having the taste of their own medicine. Worst still RSF is still supplied by SAF as they capture more strategic places for weapons. This wager group financing is just a conspiracy. Let SAF contain the monster they created silently without conspiracies.
Yes, Wagner group is involved in many many African countries.
Thanks for the breakdown
this country once was my home and i m sad for all of this to happen
I just discovered this series. Great content but the background music and effects makes it difficult to focus on the narration
Excellent content and reporting
Great list! Almost the same as you but you’ve inspired me to grow my no-buy list ❤
حرب الجيل الرابع والخامس طبقت في السودان خطوة خطوة ربنا يرجع السودان آمن ومستقر واقوي
One of the best narratives of Sudan modern history at a glance !
Come on guys I think it complements Johnny Harris's video pretty well, great insights from both videos. Why do we always have to compare 😂
Finally it makes sense. What an excellent presentation!
كان الله في عون السودان و اهله.
Thank you for this!
I worked with a cool guy from South Sudan. He was 6'11, his wife was 6'5.
Excellent film - really clear and detailed. Thanks. I hope it helps the world respond to this hidden crisis
I'm not sure what the international community can do besides invading them to remove them forcefully from power, which, I guess we all know how that will end " omg Sudan was invaded". On top of it there's multiple countries involved with each on of them supporting one or the other, which makes it more complicated.
Exactly. Africa's problems should be fixed by Africans.
@@0816M3RC in theory you're right, and that's how it should be, but practically that has never been the case since civilization started to emerge, and I'm not referring to Africa only, all continents have tried to conquer each other at a certain stage or pulled nasty moves during wars. Hopefully something unexpected for all parties happens to those two generals and things calm down. My heart breaks for the poor civilians.
civilians have literally begged the US government to intervene and remove the sudanese military. Why has the UN not sent peace keeping forces???
@@modelbashir2365 I'm no expert however to assume the UN as a whole is anti military dictatorship is quite optimistic. Unfortunately authoritarian regimes are now at least as strong in the UN and globally as democratic ones, so I wouldn't take it as a given that the UN will agree on an intervention on the side of civilians. If the US was to do this it'd need to be unilateral with NATO allies, or they'd need to convince Russia, China, and all others to agree to oust a likely cooperative regime.
now in this scenario , if the US get in it could be good
Great explanation thanks!
Great breakdown
Excellent and concise explanation of the crisis.
As a common it is the innocent civilians who suffers my prayers with Sudanese brothers and sisters love and prayer from Pakistan ❤
Increíble video! Me lo recomendo mi querido y cercano amigo Víctor, bendiciones 🎉
👏🙌🌍 This concise yet informative report is truly impressive! As a fellow citizen, I share your surprise and appreciation for the detailed coverage. It's crucial that this war concludes swiftly, bringing peace and stability to Sudan. Let's hope for a brighter future ahead and continue to support efforts towards resolution and progress. 🕊🤞💪
do your people really want peace and stability? i often see when people are crying for democracy, but yet still they wont tolerate people of different religious backgrounds, people who are LGBTQ, people who don't believe in god etc.
@@narda1072as a Sudanese, there are lots of people from lots of religions here ,atheists,muslims ,Christians and more
Best summary I've seem on this topic lately!
Two people of similar competence can never be partners in wielding power.
Great explanation 👌
Wow I didn’t know much about this topic, this is very interesting and well made!
THank you for making a short explaination, I think a lot of people ignore this conflict and the one is Congo because it seems too complecated.
And yet you didn't mention that RSF supported by UAE
This was before the UAE got involved this was only a few weeks after the war began.
NAH !... UAE got involved since 2019
@@omerhatim4326 Actually no 2023 they were leaning RSF but the war didn’t start until April 15th 2023.
One thing all the dictators of Sudan have in common, they all have a face only their mother can love.
It's strange to see Saudi Arabia and Egypt supporting democracy. Maybe they never did
They are doing it for political influence.
They want peace
US and UAE too
great explanation
Give a man power then you'll see his true character.
Great documentary
Overlaps aside, two videos can exist. Johnny’s video approaches the conflict from a diplomatic angle mentioning key ties that risk being severed as a result. Whereas, Vox focuses on the fate and condition of Sudanese peoples. Both do a good job
Agreed. Both deserve their flowers.
Great reporting
This is a very informative video. Unfortunately, I can relate to many things as a Pakistani
To be honest, this is the best explanation of a scenario I ever heard.
I want this guy's sunglasses.
They should be in a museum
Me too
thank you so much
People : why isn’t the US doing anything ?
Also People: The US is always in everyone’s business
The US is doing something, arms sales
Are there actually people who are saying “why isn’t the US doing anything?” There aren’t any in these comments
@KC: Are you aware of the contradiction in these 2 sentences?
@@feikes1878The US isn't selling anything to either side
Thanks from India for a succinct, clear yet detailed story
Just met a man from Sudan in Instagram. Wish him the best of luck!
Me and my family have been waiting 3 years to go to Sudan after having to wait 2 years cause of covid and 1 year cause of my sister getting a paspport, and 2 months before we were meant to be going, this war broke out. I still hope we will be able to reunite with our family again
Would be better if you explained how international influence, both covert and overt, were involved in all the various coups and wars and the resources at play - not just mentioning it at the end as if the US is a savior bringing democracy.
While I don't necessarily trust either the SAF or the RSF, I will throw it out there that the RSF is at the very least the main one responsible for this conflict. They do what they do pretty much just because Hemedti wants all the power. Supporting someone who wants that is never a good idea.
Helpful analysis
Hours after Johnny Harris’ video?
Probs just a coincidence, happens some times in the youtube space
Wow, it must be some sort of developing news story that everyone is reporting on
Came to say this
It is just a coincidence when news about Sudan is quite hot these days.
Bro they dont make this all in a day
Explained very well.
Can you please do a video on the current situation in Pakistan? Please people need to hear about it.
Can't help but marvel at Al Bashir's power games. A house of cards can only stand long
Real Sudan has gone from being one of the most historical and unique countries to being one of the poorest and now has wars. It has Africa's curse.
Do you think british intervention in sudan and egypt causes this war ?
No. They have caused many problems but this is not one of them. Imperialistic Arab expansionism is the cause
that's a really good explanation to the situation there from non arabic media platform i am a sudanese and i confirm it all
i hope things get better in sudan so i can go back sometimes i wish i staid and died with my brothers
