Sudan's Forgotten Warriors

- In the summer of 2012, VICE correspondent Aris Roussinos travelled to Sudan's Blue Nile region where he spent a month making friends, playing checkers, and getting bombed with the guys from SPLA-N (Sudan People's Liberation Movement)-a group of rebels that fight to keep President Omar al-Bashir from turning Sudan into an Arab Islamist state.

Fuck the politics, these guys are chill, hope they doing good/ still alive
God Bless these brave men ,and the struggling women and children of all the Sudan
This Toyota truck is everywhere in conflict zone
Hahaha
So true
Yep
Toyota and the AK47 or AKMs
This war is nicknamed "The Land cruiser War"
impressed by their english skills - far better than a lot of ppl in europe or elsewhere. also impressed by their land - seems to be a beautiful landscape and nature. and this local music - outstanding!
does somebody have some kind of link to a music video ?
*****
ok thanks
can you post that link again??
ready2explosivo
i dont have it anymore im afraid :/
We were a former colony of England. So English is like a lingua Franca unless your in the north where Arabic dominates
these guys are genuinely good people, hope they achieve what they're trying to achieve.
Lol
Regina thomas
I'm kind of impressed.
The Sudanese make do with little and have a good fighting spirit.
٠٠٠
I didn't even knew about those guys' struggle for democracy! They seem to be such nice people, let's hope they'll get freedom!
John Dillinger only hope when you can do much more
George Bush Thanks and prayers to you and Mrs. Laura Bush from South Sudan, South Kordofan, South Blue Nile, Eastern Sudan and Darfur, for your continued support and great assistance for Sudan and Africa. God bless all of you and God bless our Friend the U.S.A.!✌🙏🙅👊👊👊👏👏👏👏👏

Sudanese people - the most beautiful people in the world.
We love you - please make Sudan prosper and grow so that you can contribute to a greater Africa.
Love from South Africa 😘👏👏.
I swear these rebels are the very definition of not giving a fuck. And for that they have my respect.
I kept going back to scene where the ostrich is chasing those two guys haha Fucking hilarious!
Hahaha fucking funny alright man hahah
Next time add time line
peace, stability, equality, justice, freedom and liberty for Nuba people
There are many north sudanese people who support those rebbels , polititians, writers and singers ,even there is north sudanese served in SPLA then and now ...as late dr. John grang said " the problem of sudan is not in the south ,not in blue nile or kurdofan ,but the problem is within the ruling system in khartoum"
I've got a lot of respect and support for these freedom fighters. As I am Eritrean myself my country fought for independence from Ethiopia for 30 years. Still our fighters were called northern rebels by the Ethiopian regime of mengistu hailemariam. This shows with power unity and spirit of the people ANYTHING can be accomplished. Peace
Chillest war ever.
I want to join
That man has some talent on music
its away to bare their reble life
Wow! much respect for these sensible young sudanese warriors.
May the Lord protect those men and guide them to their goals ....
this is 21 century,we won't be push back as they did to our grandfathers.
victory is certain.
Thanks to Aris for bringing this compelling video to the public. I worked with SPLA 2002 in Nuba and again in 2008 in Juba. I wish there was something I could do to assist. The civil war in the south is so tragic...I know both Dinka and Neur SPLA officers..

well they sound more educated more that people who have so called freedom
I'm k k
The music is so beautiful. I've been reading alot about Sudan because I never truly knew their history and I'm still confused! I just pray there will be a day when there will be peace for those poor people smh they've truly suffered, especially Southern part
Very kind of you, keep praying because i believe God will hear that prayer, my prayer and the prayers of many others. Yes the southerners really have gone through a lot, but my people are natural born and bred fighters. There will be peace very soon.
Sudan had the 20th largest oil reserves in the world. There has been a proxy war between the US and China for the past couple of decades over our oil. That’s essentially all you need to know.
@@LK-ho1dg - with a gdp of less than $500 in those areas, any weapons that aren’t spears and arrows clearly indicate foreign backing
These folks seem different from most African and Middle Eastern militias. They bear a more professional air, less disorganized. It's not much, but it's a step above what I'm used to seeing. Perhaps it's because they're fighting a tyrannical, corrupt government? Perhaps it's because their creed is founded on freedom? Perhaps they're mostly defectors from the nation's military and retain much of the discipline instilled in them from before?
or perhaps they are trained by a foreign nation e.g isreal ?
Anas Himedan That's definitely possible, but none was mentioned in the documentary. I assume they're not heavily influenced by other countries. Willing to be proven otherwise.
am pretty sure they been paid off some how, they doing the war for someone else
Anas Himedan If they are, they appear to be performing at a higher standard than is to be expected from militias of that locality.
you are right, and thats why i think someone behind it
Thank you Vice for all the help and hard work you guys have been doing for years now🖤🏴☠️🖤...true buccaneers mates
I have been there my people. In 1987, we left our homes for Ethiopia as a Jesh el Amer. I was about 7 years old then. We were later renamed as Lost Boys of Sudan in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. Now, I'm in Canada. Fight for what is right because God has mysterious ways of showing how much he loves you and me.
I think it's pretty amazing that in virtually every war fought in the past 50 years, no matter who was fighting and where it was, one side was using a Kalashnikov rifle.
I wonder if any other mechanical device has ever been so widely produced and used, for so long.

I'd never heard of Vice before this spring but am really growing to like it. It's much more direct and open than most other media. Go Vice, and keep up the good work!
Was only downhill from here unfortunately
I've got a lot of respect for these guys, it's just sad that such bright brave people have to be pushed to insanity.
I'll support any group defending their homeland from sharia
Mate, they aren't fighting sharia law, they are saying what of the people who don't have religion, sharia law extremists in sudan wish to brand them Kofar and kill them, Islam does not condone that, it's actually recorded that if they wish to stay in an islamic country they need to pay a tax for not being muslim, so these people are protecting their non-muslim friends. Sharia law doesn't hurt anyone if you abide by it. like every other law in the whole world.
@abe Lincoln It is unfortunate that you are not intelligent enough to realize that the average person who lives in the west, has no affiliation with western government or military. They often despise the government as much as anyone else and just want to live free lives like anyone else. You should be worried about facing your biggest enemy.. Ignorance.
@@KazimiraPR see the description and talk
@@KazimiraPR it hurt in syria and many muslim country.. sharia law is evil..
@@jojosuantak188 In Burma muslims are repressed for being Sunnis, by those who are shaia, a different sect of islam, and Syria... syria is because of a tyrannical government head, riots turned into civil war that's when Russia came in and started mining oil throwing the country into a war torn one, please dont speak about something you know very little about, I am from Syria myself, but I have taken refuge in Saudi arabia, the king sulman extended a hand for us refugees and he let us work and reside in his lands, away from the war, and Saudi arabia is a monarchy, not a democratic republic, truth be told.. every other country rejected us except the one ruled by sharia law, they called us rapers, and criminals, I seen my neighbour's starve to death, and I seen children killed by shaia muslims, Sunnis and shaia are and will always be enemies, that's the jist of our situation now.
Constant struggle and suffering in such beautiful lands.
im from Sudan and seriously i dispose sharia law especially for my country simply because its just a really big country with so many religions how would you rule the nation according to one of them....sharia law should never be a law to be imposed on a country
I’m Sudanese too
Sudan needs sharia and South Sudan is corrupt failure joke
@@sufimuslimlion4114 Same with north sudan
Ffk your religion a country needs a proper government@@sufimuslimlion4114
These are world's most fierce battle hardened people ever on earth forget native Americans Japanese or Nepalese
This did not age well
Why?
Most chill war i've ever seen...if only all wars were like this
Vice has been killing it, so many good videos this week!
"They want to rule with what's on their mind", You brought us our motherland and the freedom is coming in just 5 year to come.
South Sudan will be the light widely seen in Africa
There is always that one NCO who leads in the war songs
wow,.... that reporter has got balls to go to a situation like that. mad respect.
"this is us being bombed" classic Vice.
south sudan will never prosper until *ALL* states are liberated. we abanded our people in Abyei and blue nile, they fought side by side with us for freedom but they didn't get theirs. SPLA need to help their SPLA brothers!
The only rebels that should actually be recognized as the good guys :)
youd be surprised
Watching this now since war broke out
Sad that the cycle of violence continues
somehow I feel calm and comfortable while watching even though it is a video about war, is this perhaps a sign that they are defending and being on the right side? Only God knows
man I wish I could intern as a photographer for vice, any solo traveler would never get an opportunity to get to places that vice gets
hold on be strong sudan united!
You were never forgotten neither ignored. We adore you and salute you with prayers and much love. Unite together and build your country stop the war. Become one and grow bigger.
The lamb part wasn't necessary...
yes it was because it happened.
@@thomasmackelly7685 And?
why not? its an docu so they try to show everyday life
The person singing in the background 💮💗I can really feel his pain as his passion is to sing but as war is there that he has sacrificed it
Im impressed good english and looks like they know what democracy is. May freedom in close reach to you, brothers
Picture these guys in a country like America and willing to serve. Mannnnn, these guys are taking 1990s tanks and fixing them and going to war. This is some crazy shit .
That scene with the Ostrich made me laugh :D Freaking hilarious!
I thought it was rather cute and funny myself; I also laughed. That Ostrich was bigger than those two soldiers. Those two soldiers running from that Ostrich was such a cute scene. Those brave soldiers; laughing all the way.
I shredded tears I didn't forget. We suffered together
This is superb content. There are so many untapped stories in Northern Africa; every day I am blown away by what vice is able to deliver. Thank you!
Respect dude. For actually reporting and not sitting at a desk yelling at a guest... and no bias either.. this is news!
Just so everyone knows in 2019 sudan started a revolution where the old president who ruled for 30 years was taken down and put in a more civilised government for freedom and democracy
Not much changed last i checked, it's the military who took him out
You ever wonder if those cars they drive, ever Get an oil change ? 🤔
LINYC
Land cruiser is a tank by it self
This thing lasts for ever
In small towns in Mexico they don't lol .they just check to see if it need more oil
OnlyTop up
It's a Toyota diesel...best motor ever!👊
Do not let them oppress you, keep fighting .
6:16 'feed your sick infant more than usual' what an awesome shirt with a simple yet important and powerful advice
Translation of final song:
"We like chocolate, oh we like chocolate. We will find chocolate, oh we will find chocolate!"
I think chocolate here is a metaphor for freedom.
Only reporter to cover this
Does a better job than any other reporter could.
Keep fighting soldiers
Theyre back!
It’s always sad how the most mineral rich countries have the poorest population, always have some type or struggle or war going on as well as constant chaos and destruction.
Sudan well raise again that is for sure
I can't stop wondering who's giving those people the weapons and what is the prize...
Did you hear what they were saying? I thought they said that they do not want to live under the Islam Sharia law. Would you love to be ruled by Sharia even for a day?
Hi Jakatiga. I understand your point. All what I'm trying to say is that, while these people are killing each other, some others profit by selling them weapons...anyway, very sad situation. In this case, I blame more these people who give them the weapons.
p.of.view i agree, sudan is my land was born wen it was one. I just hope one day they have peace sudan's history has been war since it was called the kingdom of kush. There over 500 tribes in sudan and that the problem each wants power, each wants the government dead arabs,muslim or non arabs or non muslims all hate the government, some of my tribe members have finally started to revolt against the government they are arab and muslim. my tribe however and the government are different types of arabs from each other the government is full of greed and discrimination. there are so many arabised tribes in sudan all different and all had wars with each other. I really do hope my tribe all start fighting because that would be the endof the government, they called the risegat tribe from the bagara tribe the most powerful in west of sudan and am sure if they get their acts together be the most powerful in sudan. But peace is better than war. but with sudan i dnt think peace can save it now there must be a masive war once and for all with one winner ruler of all. not sure how that could be achieved without a foreign invasion
@meezy yup.....be proud that u are a black
Back 10 years later to see how this relates to what’s going on now

For being "abandoned" those uniforms are pretty damn fresh. I'm callin Bull Shit on Vice
That guy dancing around at 9:42= "Muzzle discipline? What's that?"
They seem rather well educated. You wouldn't think English speakers would e common in a rebel force living in the bushes of Sudan. My heart goes put to these boys.
The guy said that it was the rainy season so no major attacks. Seems like he just chilled most of the time.
i support south Sudan
For a rebel group, they seem surprisingly organized, equipped and trained.

انا افريقي.. وانا سُوداني ✊✌
i came for the underground lsd silo, i stayed for some of the best indepth news coverage available today.
you really need to make this longer
The Blue Nile State should hold a referendum and join South Sudan, or fight to be an independent Country from Sudan. Darfur should also secede from Sudan.
go fuck ur self
The song and instrument that man was doing was so well
"this is us being bombed before we even had breakfast"
TITAO
I sencerily hope these people succeed in their fight for freedom and democracy. They seem very smart and like good people .
keep my brothers safe
Peace to the people of Sudan, may they get what they fight for
Why does the narrator sound like Gordon Ramsey???
Zachary Shannon he is also British???
i was just gonna say how good their english is, they seem very intellectual for what little they have in life
that sheep parts fucking graphic
There has been worst be headings of sheep on Vice
Naah, mate. Most animals are slaughtered that way. All meat foods come from slaughtered animals, just accept it.
Wonderful people and long live to those souls
Heroes!! Hope they achieve the freedom they deserve. By the way wheres the American freedom? Do they only come to specific country?
I've been asking the same question...the US government is waging wars based on economic benefit at the moment, not on moral decisions. Many men and women over here want and try their hardest to help Sudan as best as they can but the government could care less. They want money, and they're waging 'war' strictly for economic gain even though our economy is in the shitter anyways.
This is the vice I love!!!! We want the journalism on the frontlines of a conflict and serious topics. Hell I bought HBO just because vice will be there and it seemed they would focus on this kind of journalism :)) more of this please!
The chicken is leading the troops into victory.its giving orders.5:54
I wish this was long, such brave people!
6:17 IT's official UNICEF is funding the war between Sudan :D
Lol not just unicef but some big companies for their selfish interest in the land.
The rebel with the harp/guitar thing was class
....and the British lives happily.
well scotland and england are going to dive into a civil war
Gotta be impressed by them for capturing a tank/s, considering tanks can be considered moderate or major assists thus something you don't want to loss.
We Ogadenia we are same like suoth sudan ,insha Allah we will get our freedom from our enemy's (ethiopia)
may be Somalis won't fight with Ethiopia as long as you call Western Somalia a land of certain clan.
