For those wondering, the South Sudanese Civil War came to an end in February 2020, resulting in 3 “administrative areas” being created, presumably to decrease tension between ethnic groups.

One of my good friends in college was from South Sudan. I loved watching his eyes gleam talking about being from "the newest country in the world" and about their constitution and stuff. It was sad hearing in later years how much civil war / oil / corruption had hurt his country (both before, and after their independence). His apartment was so bare bones it was crazy to me. He slept on a thick blanket (no "real" bed) and had his engineering textbooks, and his laptop for homework, and that was it. He had nothing else--only what he needed for his education. I need to facebook him and see how he's doing.
My co-worker came from South Sudan. Before this video, I knew nothing about it, so I asked her what it was like and she simply said “I think I like it better here.”
It's going to be a strange day when the view count of this video exceeds the entire population of South Sudan. Many wars, politicians and professional news agencies- and then suddenly South Sudan is widely publicized through crudely drawn stick figures informally explained by some guy messing around in Delaware.
My favorite fact about South Sudan is that my favorite singer/rapper, Emmanuel Jal, is not only from there but was at one point literally a child soldier and after running away became Riek Machar and his British wife’s adopted son until the wife died in a car accident and Riek gave him the boot. Now he lives in Canada and is one of the most popular musicians in Africa. He also gave a ted talk and wrote an autobiography!
I'm South Sudanese. I was in South Sudan when you uploaded this video. (Also keep in mind that throughout these decades, even now, thousands of of my people, my relatives, have been slaughtered mercilessly.) My first cousins had to move out of their home last year because their village was overtaken by militia. They now live in a refugee camp in Uganda, a country that they had never visited before. It hurts my soul, because they used to be regular kids, going to school and singing in the church choir, watching movies, and riding bikes, but now they have looked war and disease and death in the eyes and have become practically homeless in a year and a half. It is really difficult for my parents to contact their siblings, let alone send resources. War is truly a terrible thing.
I live in Arkansas, and have unfortunately seen over 20 different Confederate flags in my (short, I am still a teenager) life. (If you are gonna support the CSA, which doesn't exist anymore, and was very racist, at least use the correct flags, people. It had 3 true flags for you to choose from. And you choose the one they NEVER used as a national flag.)
They’re not “unclaimed” per se, it’s that both sides think that Bir Tawil belongs to the other nation. Either side claiming ownership of Bir Tawil would lose ownership of the prosperous Halaib triangle region. Fascinating history
I remember when I heard South Sudan became a country, I was really excited. As an outsider watching from afar, it seemed like the best solution for all the civil wars and whatnot, so I, like everyone else, thought this would mean an end to the bloodshed. Was so disappointed to see how things turned out, but I think they're slightly better now, right? Also, the two coup(e)s make a sedan joke is everything.

TL;DR - Sudan got into a war with itself for ethnic and religious reasons, and several decades later, the chunk that _finally_ split off... got into a war with itself... for ethnic reasons.
it's all about oil sudan refuse to give western big oil company control over its oil so they started finance rebel and brought 50000 mercenary from neighbors country to fight the sudan government and take control over oil places in sudan every african country that has a lot of oil and refuse to give it for free to oil company they did the same shit to them algeria libya Mali nigeria to name a few
So first Sudan had its civil war that resulted in South Sudan splitting off, and then South Sudan had its own civil war going on (though it sounds like some peace is going on currently), so what if they just keep splitting, like next, South-East Sudan gains independence, but then it has some civil wars, leading to the independence of South-South-East Sudan, and so on, forming a golden ratio spiral of Sudans
Found out about what’s going on in Sudan and now I’m back here at this video. Does anyone else find that history tends to repeat itself? All I know is war never changes. Has the same face, just a different arsenal up its sleeves each time

He missed the most major point proxy war Sudan was backed by Soviet Union then later Russia while South Sudan backed by USA Yes Sudan (have U) while S. Sudan (have oil) Hence why the civil war took it form

Coming back to this video after... recent events. Sam 6 years ago probably never expected this to be a valuable resource to learn about an important conflict all across world news
Civil wars, coups, ethnic cleansing,starvation, Yeah, not that big a deal But hey, we drew the lines quicker than if we'd taken to account anything other than who owns it That's a plus, right?
Me, a kid with two parents from South Sudan who made it out and now live in Kansas America with a pretty good lifestyle👁👄👁 tbh I really didn’t know how hard my parents worked for us to make it here
so sudan split in two, and now south sudan's basically split in two. i'll bet the country's just gonna keep splitting until it's 100 little micro-nations

TL;DR - Sudan got into a war with itself for ethnic and religious reasons, and several decades later, the chunk that _finally_ split off... got into a war with itself... for ethnic reasons.
it's all about oil sudan refuse to give western big oil company control over its oil so they started finance rebel and brought 50000 mercenary from neighbors country to fight the sudan government and take control over oil places in sudan
every african country that has a lot of oil and refuse to give it for free to oil company they did the same shit to them algeria libya Mali nigeria to name a few

So first Sudan had its civil war that resulted in South Sudan splitting off, and then South Sudan had its own civil war going on (though it sounds like some peace is going on currently), so what if they just keep splitting, like next, South-East Sudan gains independence, but then it has some civil wars, leading to the independence of South-South-East Sudan, and so on, forming a golden ratio spiral of Sudans
Silence, shut up before they make the united republic of south-south-eastern south-west south-Sudan
