There are more than 30 war conflicts going on right now, most of which are actually civil wars like Sudan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Mali, DR Congo, Haiti, Syria, Lybia, Iraq, Burkina Faso you name it. I would also include here Mexican Drug Wars, war in Ukraine and Russia and Israel war in Gaza. Such level of conflicts both on casualties and scale have not seen since WW2. Thank you for covering Sudan War which the World is Ignoring.
Thanks for mentioning the cartels as basically Mexico is in a civil war
Unless I'm missing something, I didn't hear about any war in Nigeria.
iraq is chill yo
@@timifamous2You're definitely missing something. Simon's talked about it on this channel, as well as Geographics.
@@timifamous2 I was referring to Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgency which still takes place in Northern Nigeria, Northern Cameroon, Southeast Niger and Western Chad. Of course, the scale of that conflict is not comparable to Sudan, but I've seen some NSFW mass executions from that region at telegram and the cruelty is absolutely brutal.
As a Kenyan it's difficult to believe that all this carnage is happening in a 'neighbouring' country😅our country is being troubled by a Fertilizer Fraud deal while our neighbours are barely surviving.
Hujambo Bwana! I grew up in Kenya in Bomet 3 to 4 hours west of Nairobi at Tenwek! 15 years there and now I am in Iowa. Love Kenya!
@@WolfhasaWASR Sijambo. It's nice to hear from you. How is life in the US?
Kenyan here too. We hear more on Ukraine and Gaza than our own neighbors. I thought a war this scale should be mainstream news even for us on the African continent. I think we need our own African global news network the equivalent of Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN to tell these stories.
That said, media is also selective on which African countries they report on. Had this happened in Kenya or other western leaning or important geopolitical anchor nations like SA, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast or Nigeria and given that Nairobi is the base where almost all global news agencies have their regional headquarters, this would be daily news.
@@davianoinglesias5030 The US is good. I’m actually American but spent my whole childhood and secondary schooling in Kenya.
@@likatalikata3823 true, it's very unfortunate that most people get to learn very little about what's happening to our neighbours.
I'm Sudanese
This is probably the most accurate video I've seen that covers "our story" well, going back decades to its roots. Thank you very much mister, I'm glad your channel popped up in my feed.
Just a simple note:
Yes, the SAF has its dark side over the past decades, due to the brutal killing and genocide i should say, towards certain tribes in Darfur, and that was due to our country being governed by a vicious dictator, Al-Bashir, who claims he is "islamic", but none of his 30 years in charge says anything about Islam. As you said, in his brutal endeavour in Darfur, he used RSF. Back then they weren't known as RSF, they didn't have a "uniform", they weren't related to the government. Al Bashir gave them weapons, made them governmental, gave their leader Hemedti open ties with UAE and KSA in their war against Yemen, which brought nothing but despair to the Yemeni people.
RSF since the beginning of the war, forced us to leave our homes in the capital Khartoum, looted our homes, literally taking everything, even the spoons and bed sheets. They are known rapists, and by the way they tend to film each other doing war crimes, there are actual videos of them raping women, staying in our houses, and even bring their families to live in our houses. IT'S ALL FILMED, THEY THEMSELVES FILM THIS.
I'm sorry for the long comment, I just want to stress the fact that RSF will never establish a country, and one of our mottos in out revolution in 2019 we said:
"To their barracks the military shall return. To be completely dismantled, shall the Janjaweed". The Janjaweed is the real name of RSF. They are nothing but a coward militia, hiding from our army the SAF, by staying in our homes. Almost all of the Sudanese stand with the army, a few are neutral, but none of us, stand with RSF.
"it's not Islam" 😂
It is infact what Islam is
Read about history and true Islam and you will learn, what Islam really is.
Same here
@@randmht9976 There are only two nations in a long list of countries suffering civil war or warring against their neighbors that are NOT Islamic...Haiti and Russia/Ukraine.
Umm, SO not true US civil war NOT Islamic! Also many have been killed, hanged etc in name of Christianity😢
@@randmht9976right… you an American know more than him
I went to university in 2014 with a man who is now leading a militia in South Sudan with a mission to "take the heads of his enemies." He had been a child soldier, and I really liked him, until I realized he actually was quite serious, and actually went back, and sent me lots of pictures.
Extremism is a hell of a drug.
A guy I work with is Sudanese. His wife and parents are stuck there. We work night shifts, and he tells me he doesnt sleep when we finish work every morning.
He stood on business
😮
What do you think happens to ones enemy in war.
Tbh. Besides Israel-Hamas and Israel-Iran. Most conflicts around the world, are not spoken of or completely ignored and forgotten. Ukraine-Russo war isn’t even on mainstream coverage anymore, Myanmar never went mainstream coverage, Azerbaijan-Armenia ethnic clash never went mainstream, Chads insurgents as well, Congos many ethnic skirmishes, Indonesia and Malaysia jihadist conflicts and even Mexican Cartel skirmishes. For the common person, it’s honestly hard to keep up with such; since it does not entirely affect their day-to-day lives.
Russo-Ukraine is still on the news.
"For the common person" they don't understand these conflicts or have the power to alter them.
@@Ozzianman Not like it was when the western media propaganda were getting away with blatantly lying. Now that the truth is out, Ukraine gets an honorable mention a couple times a week, usually buried under 20 stories about Israel.
Russian Ukraine war has essentially been going on for nearly a decade it wasn't until Russia ramped up and tried to take kiev that it became news.
as an Indonesian I don’t even know what jihadist conflict you’re talking about is ongoing in Indonesia right now
I am sudanese and all I can do now is pray my whole me and my dad and mom have not been in sudan when the war started but the rest of my family was and were forced to go to egypt
World Leader “What’s going on out there?”
Aide “We’ll know once Simon uploads his next Warographics”
You’d be surprised how many governments use “news” sources shallower than a moderately popular TH-cam channel.
The censorship of TH-cam has gotten ridiculous. Saying a word is not condoning the action.
It's not about condoning anything. It's about advertisers not wanting to be promoted in videos about certain topics.
TH-cam's censorship is totally communist. 100% violates Americans rights to freedom of speech, expression and the press.
If the story was that important to this channel, they wouldn’t censor themselves
If you make people fear a word, they'll never wanna talk about the issue.
This is much worse than Gaza, but their are no political points or palestinian Nazi beliefs involved in Africa.
With even Ukraine struggling to get some attention, it's difficult to see the world talking about Sudan.
People are too busy picking a side between Israel and Palestine to worry about Ukraine. And those same people didn't even know there was a country called Sudan.
Why are the lives of people Ukraine worth more than the people in Sudan…is it because the people in Ukraine are Europeans?
@@cameronburke8002Sudan doesn’t get aid from the US government (unquestioningly).
Israel does. That’s why what’s going on in Israel has the attention it does, and Sudan doesn’t, on top of the conflict threatening to rope in Iran.
Sometimes things get a lot of attention for actual reasons and not just because someone wants to ignore someone else’s suffering.
@@bigbluebuttonman1137 Sudan has alao been at war, in some form or another, since the 1950's. 70 years is a long time. More than long enough for the rest of the world to grow disinterested and accustomed to Sudan being a hotbed for conflict. This is less a "nobody cares", and more of a "Yeah, what's new" scenario. It's hard to get people to care when it's the same story, year after year, for generations.
@@bigbluebuttonman1137 You vastly underestimate the massive power of anti-semetism that is driving the anti-Israel discourse. There are plenty of countries doing things just as bad as Israel, yet they get a fraction of the criticism. That is the power of anti-semetism.

Thank you!
sad that you can't even say the word 'rape' when reporting and quoting it, what a weird world we live in.
I just wanted to thank you and everyone on your team for these videos. Not only are they very well done and informative, but they’re also interesting.
They are also quite important since they bring light to conflicts like this one, and others like the Tigray war for example.
Way too many people have suffered and died directly from these tragedies for the entire world to seemingly not know or care about them at all.
Thank you again for all you guys do! And RIP to all the victims of these senseless wars
Complicated is certainly the right way to describe this, and the war being an ongoing disaster is how I would describe it. I am glad somebody is still trying to bring some attention to this.
This has been happening since at least 2016. My buddy guarded the embassy there, alot of bad things would happen just outside the wall and he wasn't allowed to do anything because the US did not want to pick a side.
They were right. Any hint of the US picking a side would lead to every conspiracy nut blaming the US for everything.
Simon's forcefully sucking in air every few seconds makes me anxious. He needs to chill so that I can too 😂
Oh noooo now I can hear it every time!!
People naturally ignore things that aren’t relevant to them.
That is certainly true. Just take a look how fast Finland went pro-NATO once the conflict in Ukraine started. Still, gotta be happy about the fact that so many people now share the world view I've had since late 90s.
Well said!
@@DarkZodiacZZ NATO is terrible
because we have limited mental capacity. imagine having to worry about every single thing that is happening around the world right now. would you be able to handle it?
@@DarkZodiacZZ NATO is not positive
The issue with alot of these african conflicts is both sides (or more often 10's of sides/competing factions) regularly commit genocide, mass r*pes etc. Which makes it very difficult to help any side even if is just delivering food aid civilians under their area of control.
I mean israel and hamas arent really good either. Its only because gazans trapped there they are paying any attention to it. And even they're only getting a fraction of it.
A fraction of aid needed
Can't blame Jews = no news
@@longestvideoeverwhy keep sending aid workers, if they're going to get bombed for delivering food?
@@SkunkApe407why keep sending aid if Hamas sells it to its own people? Takes a real scum bag to accept FREE aid and then sell it to your own people. Both sides are trash.
Most people: "Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?"
World leaders: "Shh. Watch your sports and stop worrying so much about things."
Great that you are covering this... the silence on this matter is crazy.
The PBS Newshour in the US has been giving this some coverage over the last year, with more frequent stories recently.
MMy husband is Ethiopian/Eritrean and was born in Sudan in 1983. His beautiful most amazing mother delivered him in a prison (she was caught leading Christian Bible studies) By late 1989 they were finally able to make it to America. They don’t talk about it much in detail, mentioning only occasionally the communist party or the famine. They prefer concentrating on the present, living their best lives here in the States. So I struggle to understand the details and time line on my own, and unfortunately after watching this video I’m more confused than I was before watching it. 😵💫
Shut up
Reminds me of Haiti. It’s not that people are ignoring it, it’s just that no one is talking about it or trying to spread the word. Looking at you News channels…
I believe that's the definition of ignoring
It does not matter how many powers are going to get sucked into it, almost nobody outside of Sudan is emotionally attached to any of the fighting parties or victims.
Its warlords fighting each other. There is no good guy
There never is actually good guys@@AL-lh2ht
@@AL-lh2htTrue. From what I have been reading on Sudanese Social media the army is much more popular. Even tho neither are good most people in Sudan still want the lesser of 2 evils to prevail.
The emotional attachment to passage of global shipping through the Red Sea might be the thing that gets more attention for this region. Sad that human suffering isn't reason enough.
I think the world, after so many decades of only hearing about war in Africa are just too tired to help. When we do help, we get attacked. When we don't, lambasted. It's a lose-lose situation (of course this is a gross oversimplification).
Thank you for covering this.
I’m surprised Sudan hasn’t ceased to exist yet
As a functioning country it doesn't exist. It's just lines on a map.
As is the case with most 'nation states', cut up by colonial powers and then abandoned or held hostage even after they supposedly leave. Africa is the worst example and the situation here isn't getting any better, especially as new colonisers have come, where their presence is corporations, and having dissarray is cheaper than functioning states that would tax them properly.
@@xGUANdeLUPEx we can most likely classify this theory as mistaken. Do the lines that were forced onto Africa help with stability? most definitely not.... are corporations actively inducing chaos in order to make money? more importantly, does uncivilized chaos induce more profit than stability in the region would? Yea right.... if such things are happening, it wouldnt be the colonizers, it would be the enemy of the colonizers here to try to steal their turf, deny them profits, and if possible, wreck the market and loot whats left.
If the Africans that live on the continent would be so much better without foreign interference, then all they need to do is put together a functioning group of some sort to regulate, legislate and if necessary ventilate trespassers for a decade or two. If that is somehow entirely impossible... perhaps Africa could use some help after all?
The only reason it exists is because neighbouring countries protect their borders with Sudan😅
@@xGUANdeLUPEx Corporations don't like disarray. They'd much rather have stability and know the environment they'll be working in in the future.
Absolutely love your work Simon keep it up!
Puppet masters all over Africa, my empathy is with the women and children who ultimately suffers the most during wartime.
*during wartime in barbaric countries such as Sudan.
Boys suffer too😅
What now? They're doomes
I agree. We all suffer from environmental degradation to witnessing the inequalities of our human species.
Thank you, Simon and team.
Conflicts like this are like quicksand, you stick your toe in trying to help, then get quickly sucked into a quagmire.
Thanks Simon! This is great journalism
Thank you so much for covering this. It is so well appreciated.
Some additional info, the RSF are the former janjaweed loyal to Bashir. They entered Khartoum during the civil revolution and killed around 100 protesters. The SAF entered the city and a deal was struck as the rsf were already embedded, it was appeasement. RSF refused to integrate pre elections resulting in the current war.
I was in Sudan for a month almost 10 years ago now and it was amazing mostly because of the people, this is just heartbreaking.
Same, I travelled the country for six weeks alone with my baby and the Sudanese took such good care of us as well as show us a good time. I have been gutted for years over what has been happening in Sudan.
Bless you for bringing this to the world's attention; to the extent anyone will care. Haiti, Myanmar, the list is too long.
Madness. I attempted to listen to this while cooking but I can’t give it the full attention it needs like this. Great episode - I will listen again while lying down rather
Thank you for this video and raising the awareness about Sudan.
Thanks for sharing this! Currently dealing with family stuck back home and banks are closed, can't send money or anything literally! Have to be savvy and workaround these issues so people can barely survive! Thanks again!!
I think the underlying problem here is the fact that Sudan has been in a state of continuous civil war since its very inception 70 years ago. Its the norm for that region.
It's heartbreaking to see how the Saudis, the UAE, and the US trading corporation utilizing puppet warriors to destabilize, dislocate, and genocide Sudanese people.... these people in these regions are societies of antiquity how despicable!
So similar to the state of Israel. Yet the stark contrast in media coverage..
@@cc23001 Absolutely nothing alike.
@@Felix0587It's been the normal for Israel to be fighting Palestine and its neighbours? What are you talking about?
@@cc23001
Israel actually has civilized, intelligent, productive people unlike the majority of Africa that's full of violent, criminal and often savage people who are completely incapable of living in a modern civilized society. Is it any wonder that when they come to civilized western nations that so many of them behave the same way as how they did back in their homelands and as a result they're just as much of a problem in their new homeland?
Thank you Simon for bringing to light all you cover
Thanks for covering this.
Cracking job Simon 🤙
Thank you for covering our conflict even though almost nobody cares, even Sudanese people themselves are starting to forget (the ones outside the country).
Should've uploaded this yesterday on the 1 year anniversary of the war
What would you have us do, exactly?
@@Nat3ski did i ask of you anything ?
Africa doesn't get a lot of coverage in western media. If they aren't white they don't really want us to care.
Stay strong! I hope you may find peace soon
@@Nat3skiJust awareness is a start. Educating those of us in our, so far, safe European and American homes. The parties involved in Africa are extremely concerning and our people need to maintain awareness in case we are needed or, god forbid, dragged in.
Great video as usual! Wargraphics does some top-notch work.
Great video. Thanks for covering.
You give great information. Keep it up, you do good work!
bro are you is are you is? I thought you was thought was you. So are is you? Or is you are is are you is now?
Thank you, so much, for making your content.
On behalf of the world, bless you.
Excellent Chanel. Thank you to Simon and your staff.
Thanks for raising awareness about this
Simon I just want to say I appreciate you and your team. You are my news channel. It now biased it's formative it's well written out your Grammer is amazing even though you say a lot of the words I do not understand and that's ok. You may talk about dark and horrible things but your channeled across the board bring light to my day and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos
It's the American writer's grammar mixed with an Englishman's attempts at pronunciation
So all told, it is good, considering.
The optimist in me hopes that this video makes a positive impact
The pessimist in me wonders if a series on top conflict locales for adventurers to eat before the location is catered wouldn't achieve the same.
Thanks Simon for keeping the optimistic candle lit
Thank you for this amazing video❤
Hey ! Thanks Tons for all this information. Well done.. fast and efficient
Well done! I think it's important for whoever has the wherewithal to remind the world that there are still other places in the world that deserve some attention. And it often happens that these other places are experiencing crises that sometimes make those covered in prevailing narratives pale in comparison. War is indeed hell, wherever it occurs. But it's true that there are powder kegs (like the situation in Sudan) that could affect wider regions and eventually world powers in ways most people would never expect. Cheers!
4:17 his ppl are starving and he got all gold and glitters
Thanks for your truthful information ❤
Thank you Simon and Team for covering the conflict that no one else will.
Someone adjusted the compression on your vocals. Your inhales are far more amplified than normal.
My country is burning, my country is dying. This war started about a year ago and I was in Sudan a month before it started. Never did I imagine this would happen. Never did Sudan ever experience something like this. Our once beautiful capital city Khartoum is nothing but rubble and dust, Darfur is a sea of blood, and Al-Jazeera is in a never ending nightmare of rape and torment. My people don’t deserve this. They don’t deserve to be gunned down or raped or have their homes converted into military barracks. Never forget - the UAE is killing us. THE UAE IS KILLING THE SUDANESE PEOPLE.
@@Joejohnson17281YES. The fact that you’re shocked just shows me how much people don’t know about this war or what’s really happening. People see it as a war between the army and Rsf for power. But it’s more than that. The UAE are using the Rsf because they want Sudan and its recourses. Our gold, uranium, fertile land, strategic Red Sea port etc. research it.
and your country is almost forgotten because of hypocrites caring about Gaza and acting like it's more important than Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan.
@@jared2018_But think about it. The Palestinians are suffering from genocide. That’s why everyone’s focusing on it the most. Tbh Sudan is also suffering from a similar thing because the Rsf have made it clear they want to wipe us all out. But what I mean is that there is a crucial reason why everyone is caring mostly about Gaza.
The same is true in Ethiopia. If we don't have Fano, UAEs plan was wider than this. Ethiopia will pray for Sudan. Hopefully UAEs hand, Abiy Ahmed will be thrown soon.
@@meme-wz5vs yes, unfortunately Abiy is a friend of the UAE and I fear for Ethiopia if this continues.
thanks i enjoy these kinds of videos. an honest attempt at observations and interpretations.
Thank you for making this video
Thanks for covering this. One tragedy of the internet is how it hollowed out journalism and incentivized clickbait.
Probably still wouldn’t get coverage, but it’s spooky how something like this is just invisible.
Such conflicts were entirely invisible in decades past though
At least now you can find channels such as this one, though we have a long way to go to get to truly worldwide media coverage
I’ve been praying for the Sudanese people!
Just came across your channel. Wow! Very interesting and informative.
Excellent reporting
Legit question - if all the factions involved are monsters, what's the best thing for a very powerful outside country with a checkered history in such situations to do?
I honestly believe that Africa should be left to their own devices. They’ve received over 50 Marshall plans worth of aid from the west and nothing has ever come of it. They dont even keep or maintain anything that’s built for them. A couple years ago some Europeans came in to fix a bridge that the locals had been crossing with a rope. And when the bridge was complete and the Europeans left, the locals destroyed the bridge and began using the rope again.
Stay out of it. The countries of Africa whine about the West "interfering" in their continent so we'll let them sort this out.
Sudan doesn’t have anything the US needs. All we need is coltan and other semiconductor minerals to keep China at bay but we get those from Congo. We could send in mercs to steal the gold that’s supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine but that wouldn’t be very profitable for our PMCs. Ignoring Sudan and arming Ukraine is the best strategic move. If Kissinger or Brzezenski were alive today, I imagine that’s what they’d do.
@@BiggieTrismegistus Sudanese people never once told America to stay out, nor did they have any anti-Western sentiment. I was literally there. Most of them were chillling outside under the stars, chilling. That was around 7 years ago.
They even feed travelers and such. Not once felt or saw anti-Western sentiment. They even kept praising Germany when talking to my dad.
These mental gymnastics where all of Africa is the same, is tiring. As if America and Europe aren't polarized into different factions in extremely comfortable environments.
I think the West is evil. Having such a big mouth when 70% of gum Arabic used in coke and other soft drinks comes from Sudan. You don't appreciate anything these people have or do, you get so much from these people and then you turn around and flip the middle finger at your hallucination of a nation.
War came to Europe already. And war usually spreads. So good luck being more sane than those people suffering there, mostly because European and American companies use and abuse their lands while paying them almost nothing.
@@yahiiia9269 I mean bro, you're saying the Sudanese don't have anti-western sentiment and you're claiming to be a supporter of their people but then in the same post you post a shit ton of anti-western sentiment. You're not doing a great job at convincing people to give them a chance.
The two waring factions aren’t popular and evil with the Sudanese. They are screwed either way.
If one the Sudanese people can discard Arab identity, religion, unify mobilize against the West, the Saudis, and UAE
#LongLiveNubia....may the Sudanese remember their greatness long before a Saudi/UAE oil empire was established by the west
Saudi Arabia and UAE are on opposing sides in this war, it's Saudi Arabia and Iran vs UAE and Russia.@@Omisaide
Glad you brought this to the forefront! No one is talking about it at all!
Informative and very thorough, well presented
Great source of knowledge concerning Sudanese conflict
🙏👍
Can the sound mixer please scoop out the EQ of the sound of Simon’s quick little breaths, they are so loud it’s almost like they’re emphasised.
Simon, truly I appreciate the way you keep everyone aware of what’s going on in the world. I don’t know who writes your post but to start out like we should all be wringing our hands, freaking out about the Sudan. They have been in one form of conflict or another for the last 70 years, you could drop 10 billion dollars and 80 cargo ships of food and it would change the country one bit. I’m about to turn 50 this week and I can’t remember a time when the Continent of Africa wasn't on the border of some conflict, genocide, famine etc. I can almost tell you how this is going to play out, china is going to offer high interest loans to whoever is in power for mineral rights, land, water what have you, the country won’t be able to pay it back and they will lose everything and if it’s not the Chinese then it will be the Russians. This reminds me of the video you did about Haiti, it's been a screwed up situation and it will continue to be a screwed up situation. I hate to come off as a mean person but I frankly don’t care anymore. Nothing has changed
There’s credits at the end of every video which lists writers/editors/producers.
You misspoke when you said money and 80 cargo ships of food WOULD make a difference.
My apologies, I mean wouldn’t have made any difference
You do come off as profoundly unempathetic and completely ignorant of the root problems caused by the US in these countries.
Your right I don’t have 50 years of watching Africa put itself into a downward spiral and I’m not at all well read on these subject. I can think of a lot of countries that had a hand in the Continents failures, but to blame just the US makes you sound completely unaware of what’s been going on for decades.
Thanks for speaking on this conflict.
Solid video
Imagine living in a country where every nation have a hand to gain from giving a warlord weaponry to fuck up your day to day.
It's so sad.
Imagine living in a country where any clown with a gun and an agenda can overthrow your joke of a government and prop himself up as a warlord.
Innocent civilians suffering because foreign powers treat their country like a game. What a terrible tragedy....
@@Pl-ax0 step 3 is pillage
It's demonic to destroy people for financial gains...
All Sudan has know since independence is Civil War, Strife, and ethnic conflict. It’s really depressing.
From the likes of it, civil war and race wars is all it knew before European colonisation as well
Subscribed. Excellent channel
Thankyou for your work, i was not aware as to this conflicts extent
I pray for my country ☹️❤️
Thank you for covering this war, I hate how so many conflicts, especially in the global south, is ignored in media.
Appreciate the knowledge 💪
Is it possible to get a list of sources you used? I want to read into this further because I have not really heard about this conflict before.
Just Google it. Articles will pop up.
@@HKim0072nowadays on Google the search system is trash. Plus a bunch of misinformation may come up, or it may just be difficult to navigate such a large amount of information. It's totally fair to ask for sources to try to get some guidance into understanding things more
I haven't been this early since Simon had hair
Simon had hair?
If only Keeps would have sponsored him earlier 🥺
Thank you for talking about this
Dealing with antisemitic people calling what's happening in Israel a tragedy, but when you ask them what they think about sudan or Myanmar they give this blank stare.
They don't care about people they just want to be perceived to care and to feel good about themselves.
For people who wonder how the rawanda genocide went by with out a hiccup.... Stories like these make me realiser how... Especially pre internet..
Well done . Very well explained .
Thanks for highlighing this issue
ngl I totally forgot these guys were fighting all this time
"An alarming truth revealed by retired U.S. four-star general Wesley Clark: After 9/11, the U.S. planned to take out seven countries in five years, "starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran."
Thank u for this
Good analysis.. Thks
When i was coming home from Tanzania Africa I met a gentleman from Sudan who was heading to Arizona who got a full ride scholarship and told me that his country has never seen moments where they're not killing one another and struggling for food and water..He said ever since he was little, its all hes ever known. He didnt even know how to open his meal on the plane and his face seeing the food he was served.. It broke my heart, he said he was chosen out of 15,000 applications...
bro how many alligators and kangaroos did you eat in 2023?
Sudan Population
1950 6,191,323
2024 49,358,228
That can easily put stress on resources, unless a country is properly managed.
The fact that this channel has to censor itself just to be able to explain what’s happening IS the problem. The fact that the broader world is too sensitive to be able to talk about rape and murder happening is the problem that allows it to continue
Thank you for this. It is confusing and I wish I saw a way to end it peacefully.
Good video.
the war in Sudan sounds like an Ubisoft plotline except it's real...
It's the exact same plot as Far Cry 2, a Ubisoft game. Has two factions, both fought for vaguely relatable causes, involves a lot of foreign mercs and gun runners, and is set in a Sahel state...
It's almost like politics in video games are inspired by real life events.
Nobody’s talking about it because this just seems to be business-as-usual for Sudan, let alone most of Africa. That country has had at least three civil wars since the 1950s, and that’s not mentioning constant tribal conflicts and international conflicts with its neighbors.
It’s sad, but most people just expect Sudan to be tearing itself apart in a genocidal war when anyone hears about it, because it usually is.
you shouldn’t feel comfortable being disensitized because people are dying right now. this conflict may have been going for a long time and you might be neutral about that, but there are real human beings beyond the fog. My friend’s father got stabbed by the RSF when he heard a sound outside his home. she wailed and sobbed and screamed for days. fine, don’t care about the conflict but care about the people within it.
Simon the only one doing news right, along with Liam and etc
Very brave Simon keep doing what you’re doing!
Sometimes I think about the South African law team literally flying over Sudan on their way to the UN to fight for Gaza. I’m glad they did it for Gaza.. but why not say something on behalf of their own African Union member?
We don’t hear about it because no news outlets or NGOs are allowed in at all.
The South African ANC government didn't do it for Gaza. They did it because they were bankrupt and needed money to fund their election campaign in May. Iran obliged if they would act as proxy, and now they're flush with money again. What a coincidence. A few years ago when Bashir, the warlord of Sudan, was in South Africa and wanted by the ICC, the ANC smuggled him out in a private jet. The only way to help Gaza is to get rid of Hamas.
It't not that we ignore, is that we can't keep up with the skirmishes, civil wars, wars, gang wars, and all the different types of conflicts in the world. I'm a paramedic, do you really think I get home and think "I'll tune on youtube to see more violence and human suffering" or "I need to try to sleep more than 3hrs"
There is a burn out aspect. Human brains weren't design to keep up with all the information we have access to.
The news doesn’t report it but they report constantly about the war in Gaza
