Sudan: Death Toll Tops 420 as Fear Grows Fighting Between Rival Generals Could Lead to Proxy War

- The United States and other countries moved to evacuate diplomats and citizens from Sudan over the weekend amid fighting between rival military factions that's killed at least 420 people and injured over 3,700 more, in a crisis that began on April 15 when the Sudanese military and the paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces began exchanging fire in the capital Khartoum, further dashing hopes of a return of civilian rule in the country. CNN reports the powerful Russian mercenary group Wagner has backed the RSF by providing the paramilitaries with surface-to-air missiles. Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has denied the report but offered on Friday to act as a mediator between the two warring factions. Meanwhile, many residents remain trapped in Khartoum with dwindling supplies of food, water, medicine and power. For more on the crisis, we speak with Khalid Mustafa Medani, associate professor of political science and Islamic studies who chairs the African Studies Program at McGill University. He says neither side has much support from the civilian population, which has shown an overwhelming commitment to a democratic transition. "It's not so much a civil war, but essentially a fight to the death between two generals," says Medani.

“Civil war” suggests civilians are involved. Not the case here.
Two military factions fighting over power with civilians caught in the middle.
Disagree, a civil war Is a internal war between 2 or more armed groups in and from.the same country. Wasn't the American civil war the same thing?
American military against the people of Sudan
This lady is so brilliant in her interviewing skills. Asks a question, waits for the response,gives the guest Time to fully rebuttal. No unnecessary interjections, no shouting down. Her pronunciation is superb. So professional.
She’s great. Sometimes confrontational journalism has its advantages (see Ben Shapiro’s BBC debacle, Mehdi Hassan’s interview of Matt Taibbi), in those interviews if your interviewee is weaselling out of answering the question, sometimes it’s necessary to cut them off. But otherwise let them talk.
That lady is Amy Goodman❤
Old broom sweep better than the new one
What's going on is two warlords fighting to be the owner of Sudan.
Both ugly people they fight just for a piece stuff then in the end they still own nothing, it's a shameful...
Yes, that is what you were told in this video.
The beginning of this quagmire was obviously orchestrated by foreign powers. Sudan always had peace until they fell prey to hegemonic agendas. No Afriken should ever have to fight other Afrikens. The issue is not about integration of the Paramilitary forces, but a well calculated regime change agenda, for reasons better serving foreign interests. Sudan is One, lest they choose the Yugoslavia path.
This isn't actually true about it always having peace.
@@jobwesleycoxjr5103 no that part isn't true but the rest of it is true. Global power is maintained by creating instability.
@@jobwesleycoxjr5103 explain yourself, I'm not sure you understand my comment
Yeah US go step in now! Do what you did for Ukraine! I'm waiting.
To understand why. Parts of Africa 🌍 is constantly in turmoil., just research, what natural resources, the country has in abundance?????????
Sudan has been on my heart this last week. I pray they settle down and stop this madness.
I couldn't imagine living in a country where you have to worry about this every couple years
It started by port offered to Russia and then democracy was is being encouraged by USA.
It's basically a proxy war between Russia and USA over control over sudan.
It's really about a russian seaport.
Absolutely outstanding, educating, interview. Thank you, Democracy Now and Amy for allowing this very learned and intelligent educator to freely speak about what is actually going on in Sudan.
Hear, hear
So whatis knowing about Sudan actually gonna do. Is this just entertainment? Most dont give a shit about Africa but flow to the Ukraine ect...
What is United Nations 🇺🇳 doing about this crisis in Sudan 🇸🇩.????.The African Union is silent 🤫 on this crisis killings and power vacuum in 🇸🇩 Sudan.????😊😅😮😢
So I guess I stand with Sudan this week?
Sudan needs other nations to mediate and flex their diplomatic muscle now! The Sudanese ppl
We’re abandoned in 2019 and we can’t abandon them again!
It is the outsiders who are funning the fire that you see.
The Sudanese military needs to take back control of Khartoum. I don't like the fighting but the Sudanese people cannot be left at the mercy of the RSF Janjaweed.
Sudanese soldiers shouldn't allow members of any country that are behind this war to leave from Sudan.
Thank you 🌎✊🗽🌹
I am trying to understand the thoughts and mindless support for these two power hungry generals in their soldiers. As a former marine I could never bare arms against my fellow citizen. I would rather quit or if in a higher position take down the general. This is greed which hurts everyone.
Military led regimes are dangerous and have no issue murdering innocent citizens.
Yet it’s so common in African countries. The lure of gaining incredible wealth through corruption due to no checks or balances.
But how about killing civilians in Viet Nam, Iraq, Afiganistan, etc?

Wow what a great guest. He painted such a clear and vivid picture here and gave all the background to really understand the issues at hand. Great job DN!
Prof. Khalid Mustafa Medani knowledge and deep states involved in articulations about war in Sudan soils is informational and educational based on intellectual analysis.
This is Africa's unfortunate, we are just killing each other for not even knowing why??? Sad
Patriarchy and the males nature
And they have a nerve to come over here and look at the blacks crazy. And look what they do to each other over there SMH.
@@jerayjones4604 Exactly.
It's because of China/Russia battling the EU/USA over Africa.
@@jerayjones4604 you haven’t been watching the news on Ukraine war for the past year or so have u
Thankyou so much Professor Medani for your astute, insightful, detailed and comprehensive analysis. My best wishes to you for your family and their safe evacuation.
Tow hyners and the civilian population are the victims
I wonder how someone who is Montréal can tell us what is going on in Sudan? Where are the local watchdogs, civil society and political analyst?
Africa waking up beautiful
The thought of Wagner as a mediator is kind of like throwing gasoline on a fire 🤔
Not necessarily, I'm sure they'd rather keep doing their gold mining operations, a war does not serve their purpose.
@@fizzle326 good point, I didn't think of the greed factor!
@@fizzle326 Wdym? A war is the perfect time for stealing gold; it destroys federal oversight over it while also obtaining more influence as the 2 factions fight for Russian support by giving up more sovereignty for it.
Notices the lack of "I can't believe this would happen in a country like this." 😒
Thank you Mr Medani for explaining all the details of this Sudanese conflict.
Deep dive, good fit, reaching out. Popular sayings.
I have a feeling majority of these soldier will end up in hell
May God help these innocent people
God will do what he always has, absolutely nothing.
God is a title and not the Divine Creator.
@@rozs9919 The fictitious character is the same.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, INFORMATIVE INTERVIEW 😢💔
Wouldnt be april without a 420 mass death reference....
Let me hope our brothers and sisters from South Sudan are being protected well ❤❤🙏😒
The most comprehensive analysis so far!!!
The vacuum left by bashire Amed has caused this problem causing this conflict.There must be negotiations for both generals seeking powers 😅😮😮😢😂. The integrated forces within the armies must have to be the stand for the national army security forces into tolerable situations for ☮️ ☮️ Peaceful resolution period.???
Can anybody enlighten me on who's military is flying those fighter jets???
Burhan controls the military, and the other guy has paramilitia. I don't know if both sides have jets, but I doubt it.
The regular Sudan military I believe. There is a rumor that the Rapid Response Force has gotten anti-air manpads from Russia.
Sudanese official military jets.
Unfortunately , arms dealers will be looking for a great payday.😮
Great video , great speaker.
Very insightful analysis and background information about Sudan conflict and the current power struggle.
No, it should be one country, one army.
Political rule over the military.
Internationals should not leave. No no. Stay the course and support the Sudanese people
One of the reasons that the dynamic needed to change us bc the over reliance on Anna and her family.
May Allah protect my brothers and sisters in Sudan 🇸🇩 and their Country.
Sudan has been at war since before you were born. Longest conflict in the entire world. Where has Allah been all this time?
Indeed, a deep dive into the affairs in Sudan and I enjoyed listening and learning!
Chad is watching...✌️😊✌️🇹🇩
Of all the analysis given about the Sudan issue ,,, this Analysis of the Professor is the only one thqt resonates and realistic.
I guess each generals armies will fight till other surrenders or flees , or makes peace . One will be the new dictator and life will go on , except all those caught in middle and ones that get killed
US is doing this
MAKES YOU WONDER WHOS SUPPLYING THE WEAPONS.
God forbid,!!
The most humble people of Sudan do not deserve this. The world has to intervene soon.
This what Madmmedu Buhari bigot looking up for but we South Nigeria disappointed him
Cold war never ended
Playing that Wagner violin now, eh Democracy Now? The blood is on your hands.
ايسن السلام والامان الى جوارناالسودان.
Why aren't we helping them?
Because it’s Africa. The world ignores Africa and it’s sad
DID THEY PICK THIS NUMBER TO TEMPT ME?
This happened in rome as well with Cesar , and his counter part , both were Generals , but only one can be , it led to collapse of empire in 2 parts , that happened to Sudan as well , and there is no place for 2 generals , one must kill the other .
There is no other option .
But i can tell you , Democracy you wont get , either witch way , because in Capitalism Democracy is impossible , there is no Democracy in USA let alone Sudan . In USA most popular president ever is under Trial . So that shows you that same power fight is in the USA as well .And this is why Wagner group was banned in Russia .But with War on the border they were allowed there .
You want great Generals , but not so great that they can turn on you .
He literally described a civil war lol
Always the same, power and control starts conflict
...is war a racket...or simply sport...?
Now they will all move to the UK.
Praying for Sudan 🇸🇩 this is beyond sad
There are currently 35 conflicts going on in Africa at this very moment. This shouldn't suprise anyone.
And the world ignores it because it’s Africa
@@jasondima1411 Probably true, sadly..
@@jasondima1411 Take responsibility of your own actions. No one gonna help
@@vipin7568 we can say the same thing about Ukraine
@@jasondima1411 If the world steps into Africa, Africans will just blame the world. They literally can't do anything since Africans will twist it against them.
Meanwhile Ukrainians openly want help, so the situation is the exact opposite.
That was different and fast for me to keep up. Ok so I am not well versed in the language, but am still (struggling) interested in your diolaug.
Pray for peace in Sudan, ❤️ from somalia
Iraq 1 million usa worse than Hitler

Sad, both generals need to be arrested
Civilian government in Sudan must be established.
It would be nice if you explain what the rival troops are about o😅in Sudan. Is us supporting a faction? Is it restricted to one city? What does the pull over by western countries. You are the only station in US that makes sense as usual.
Al amn aulah ✌️🕊️
Who's kidding who this is already the beginning of a Civil War?
Matatan 🤔 Ribirin HS,
Really sad news,
Agree with Mr Khalid, is not a civil war!!!
Sudan since Darfur decades ago 😢
Extremely educational. Very knowledgeable and outstanding guest.
Whose supplying the war weapons? That's where you'll find the culprit
Russia has supplied both warlords with weapons.
@@rtqii why would Russia supply both sides?
@@MinRic $$$$
@@rtqii sounds American to me if it's 💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙 💶
@@MinRic It's definitely Russian, both of these warlords have cut deals with Russia, they trade gold for Russian weapons.
Getting stuck in 1988 and Renee vs. Anna gets in the way of progress.
I look forward to finding out when I was cut off from facts and why. How that directly contributed to harm or was weighed against more harm. I trust it was done for a reason, but look forward to using my brain again.
So sad story
What are the Wagners doing there, its the civilians rebooting not military
So many of the people in this video have brand new clothes and suitcases...why do I find this strange?
Эти генералы должны немедленно предстать перед правосудием
Generals never are or rarely are they brought to Justice. Who shall do that; The World Court⁉️ Rival factions make peace when their losses become greater than their wins and if the only measure is how much death and destruction one can rain on the other - it ends when it ends, when all the fighters are dead or wounded and all the civilians have fled. What is the source of their conflict is what I want to know. Sudan has been in civil conflict and war for the last 75 years, first throughout the Cold War post WW II and then these “ fights to the death” between warring factions but again over what. Resources; beliefs; political views and ethnic feuds - what do they want⁉️ More. Power. Money. The usual. Unchecked violence breeds unchecked violence. Devolution. These forces will destroy their country until there is no market over which to fight, no labor except slaves to dig the gold, no men left to fight for the gold or whatever is the source of wealth. So. It is Greed, apparently. Regional and global conflicts caused by greedy men. Fighting for democracy!! Bah humbug.
What is the part of us and israel in that war of the same race??
Fear that the fighting could lead to civil war? If this is not already a civil war then what is it?
Please God stop this
No use praying to a nonexistent God!!!!! You’re just kneeling in a corner talking to yourself because there is nobody out there listening!!!!!
this is so very sad
🙏🙏🙏
Why no combat footage of the Sudan conflict can be found any where? While there's plenty of combat videos of the Ukraine wr
So sad,civilians are the ones who suffer the most in cases like this 😢😢terrible 😢😢
Coming to the USA, when the sudden death of the dollar happens.
this was set up to happen since dec 23rd 1913
I am praying for you all. God help you, and your family, all people in Sudan.
does the guy in Montréal speak french ?
BUt these Foriegners say Chicago is bad..... These people oversees are Savage!!!
Sudan face a serious moment I pray for peace n both sides came to agreement and end the war.from eazy tailor

Let the United Nations Rush in ,and if the two factions won't stop they should divide the country into two and let the citizens choose where they want to live to stop the hardship the citizens are facing
After all the country does not belong to the soldiers
