As a Sudanese, I'm grateful for Al Jazeera exposing what's really happening 🙏 much love and respect 🙏
Death to Al Jazeera … Qatari propaganda channel ..
Wishing you the best, you are safe

Many people told you the danger of toppling Omar Al Bashir thru protest. But the Sudanese are stubborn and they will reap the aftermath.
3 sudans, let’s go
Sandra and team, thank you for keeping this horrific tragedy in the forefront of our minds. It should not be ignored. And thank you for the great work you are doing with the start here series, always well done and produced. Great reporting, Sandra.
When will Africa have peace small😢
Problem everywhere... sending Love from Nigeria🇳🇬 May God protect his own in such troubled times❤
The price of peace is expensive. Let them fight it all out so peace will always be their topmost priority not power. Its a lesson the continent has to learn by itself.
What is happening in Sudan is catastrophic 😢 praying for peace 🙏🙏
MUSLIM VS MUSLIM
The plight of the people is absolutely heartbreaking.
71 children in an orphanage died of hunger. There are no words to describe that cruelty. I pray for each of their souls.
I had no idea. Thanks for explaining this. I will keep them in my prayers.
Been wondering how far with the war. So unfortunate, hope they can resolve it ASAP. Thanks for the update Sandy.
My Sudanese brothers are becoming like my country somalia, they should stop the war before it goes out of hand, I am sad how the revolution I support ended in this way.
It’s 2 men that basically built a cult of people with nothing to lose. It’ll never stop
The west has a hidden hand
Thank you for such excellent coverage of this highly under covered topic.
I really enjoy this program,and always get clear knowledge about the conflicts and geopolitics in the world.Thanks to Al Jazeera
Glad this is being highlighted. Pray for the good good people of Sudan!
May there be peace in Sudan. Africans must unite❤
Africans can't even unite within their own country....and the fact that they hire Wagner for "security" shows how ludicrous their priorities are. Wagner are the bringer of death, torture and destruction, not security.
Have respect for Africans differences. Stop thinking all black people are the same. They are not
I say get rid of the black population who are calling themselves Arabs, real Arabs will never accept blacks as Arabs not now, not ever, those types of black Arabs are a danger to other Africans as they are puppet's of the north African Arabs.
Yes, but those differences are of little consequence to the enemies of all Black people.
Non-Black forces exploit these differences for their benefit to the extent they matter at all.
Black solidarity is not an attempt to flatten or homogenize the Black experience - it is simply the only path to liberation for all Black people on the continent and throughout the diaspora.
Africa can achieve unity without uniformity. A failure to do so will only serve the status quo.

@@masonsharrison Do Sudanese Arabs (70% of the population of Sudan) identify as Black?
Sudan has witnessed many political coups. The country has also been at the centre of geopolitics owing to its geographical location. It borders the Red Sea where the US, UK fears the potential of a Russian base on Red Sea. Many major geopolitical powers, including Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia,Egypt,Qatar, and the UAE, have been trying to get influence over Sudan. Sudan’s strategic location and agricultural wealth have even attracted regional players.
The UAE and Saudi managed to gain influence over Sudan by forming a ‘Quad’ alliance with the US and Britain.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia took advantage of the revolutionary uprising of 2018-19 to bring Sudan under their influence. During the uprising, these two nations supported the Army and Paramilitary under the guise of ‘stability’, which resulted in replacement of Al Bashir as a ruler. UAE injected about $7 billion in Sudan’s economy.
Both the UAE and Saudi initially had suspicion over Bashir’s intention as he was balancing ties with the UAE, Saudi and Qatar, Tehran. He used to receive subsidies from the UAE and loans from Qatar. Later, the UAE realised this and halted fuel shipments to Sudan which resulted in shortage of foreign exchange, landing the country in an economic turmoil. Bashir cut subsidies on bread, followed by demonstrations, which later became the Sudanese revolution.
During the revolution, Egypt offered exile to Bashir in Saudi Arabia, but he refused, after which three countries (Egypt, UAE, Saudi) reportedly reached out to Abdelfattah Al-Burhan - a military general who had a great equation with three nations and served in Saudi-led forces in Yemen - and Hemedti, the head of Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for the coup.
A few days later, forces led by Burhan and Hemedti overthrew dictator ruler Bashir and installed the Transitional Military Council (TMC).
A power-sharing agreement was signed and Burhan, the head of the TMC, was made the head of the sovereignty council and de facto head for the next 21 months, while Hemedti became the deputy head of the council.
However, now Burhan’s Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Hemedti’s RSF are battling for supremacy, leading to the violence in Sudan.
This is proper current affairs journalism, a clear and digestible explanation of the war and the reality of the ongoing atrocities, keep up this illumination of the truth within our world!
Really informative and clear. Always enjoy watching Al Jazeera
To all warring parties, please give peace a chance. Sudan is bigger than us all. Sudan is bleeding - let's always talk-greetings from an American.
لا يوجد شيء اسمه السودان فالسودان اسم مستعمرة صنعها و استفاد منها المغولي الباني العثماني محمد علي قوسقو

no american calls himself "omali"
Sudan, Chad & Syria the world must heal 🙏🏽 Please let there be peace I’m naive but honest in my wish
Good on you for keeping us posted. Been wondering what's going on there...
As a Somali from Somalia who just recovered from a big civil war, I pray to Allah that Allah bless Sudan with peace and prosperity. Aamiin. It’s really sad to see two men destroying the country
We never recovered. We are still killing each other and blowing each other up. There is armed conflict in every region of Somalia today, what recovery????? Is this state good enough where 20% of the country is controlled by a Terrorist group? These lies based mindset is damaging and frankly speaking Somalia is hopeless because of how distorted our self awareness is and how defeatist our mindset has become.
Somalia should learn from Afghanistan. Danad & USA personnel is not working. No foreigner can solve problems of a country they are not from. It's like calling your neighbor to come solve your problems in your house. Learn from Afghanistan, they faced ussr and broken them. Then for more than 20 years they faced 🇺🇸,nato & the world. Today they are free and have their honor. Let's see what all these foreign countries like AU achieve for somalia what somali people couldn't achieve themselves. Laughable. Ajanabi jecela the Somali people of today.
Arabs bring war and destruction
@Baba Foodle not Somalian! But whoever ser templeton is, he is a brilliant well articulated man. To be fair and I apologize didn’t expect such articulated speech from a Somalian
praying to Al-Lah the false moon god will not help with anything
brilliant journalism. God, please bring peace to Sudan. I cannot believe nothing concrete is being done globally. The African Union is failing dismally.
Thank you for giving additional information on this story…no one else is.
Very clear and concise. I actually like this programme thank you al jazeera
Me too great report
The way you explain an issue is brilliant.
😢 the world as we know of is dieing... 🙏 to all the familys in the battlefronts and may god be with you..
Just amazing how destructive the egos of two people can be.
Pride
I only heard of this today😮 thanks for reporting!
I usually don't like Al Jazeera at all, but this was a good video. Praying for peace in Sudan ❤️
Why dont you like Aljazeera?
@@piusokwu3560I used to be an avid viewer of Al Jazeera to a point that I could even identify the reporter who hid his identity during the Arab Spring protests in Egypt just from his voice and it was BEFORE they started to be the "voice of the global south" and all other bull$#!t took precedence ... Their editorial and reporting team has been replaced to a large extent and their focus on the African continent seems to have taken precedence over the other six ... BUT they still have some GREAT programs like Counting The Cost and Listening Post and this so I now mostly watch them in TH-cam ... So yeah to sum it up : $#!t focus on diverse events around the world that they were famous for, $#!t reporting and equally bull$#!t editorial policy led to the demise of a much loved news channel.
And I didn't include the (dis)information campaign hub that it has become in some cases when it comes to the news presented in the Arabic and the English channels ...
@@piusokwu3560 their English channel is decent enough, but their Arabic content is highly biased and weaponised against certain countries and regimes. They are essentially part of the propaganda arm of the Qatari government and are highly critical of many leaders, policies and regimes while turning a complete blind eye to the negatices of Qatari affairs.
@@nectanbo i completely agree. However, ironically you just described every news network in the world. They are all biased toward something or someone. You just gotta pick and choose your poison to listen to.
Good report overall but it doesn't shed light on the foreign interests and RSF's foreign relationships. For instance, EU built a relationship with RSF in hopes of controlling and policing illegal immigration through North Africa. Wagner has a relationship with RSF benefiting from gold mining in Darfur. UAE benefited from RSF fighting in Yemen and has other economical & political interests in the region.
I'm also interested in who is finding this war and what will they benefit?

very beautiful reporting
There cannot be two armies in one country. Civilians always suffer the mistakes of leaders
Thank you Al Jazeera for your coverage while so many other news outlets stopped caring.
Love the intro, great story telling by the miss as well...
Thankyou Al Jazeera
Thanks all important information ℹ️
I am trying to learn about what’s happening in the world but especially in Sudan because some of my friends are Sudanese, so thank you for this video.
Thabk you for spreading light on this. Not enough news companies are
Excellent reporting. Thank you for always explaining the topic in such a clear way. In the future, would it be possible to also speak about what we can do to help? I think there is a collective desire to help, so listing out some steps we can do will help mobilize people and lead to greater impact. Thank you!
A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. A religion of peace should bear peaceful fruits.
we need more news on this war
I Like watching Sandra good Reporter MiddleEast Issues!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Sandra❤❤❤
INSIGHTFUL VIDEO ABOUT SUDAN
thankyou needs more attention
I really appreciate such a simple, clear, deep, yet succinct report.
This is what news should look like. Great journalism, great report. Thanks. To bad American new doesn't know how to do this anymore.
I spent 12 wonderful years in Khartoum from 2006 to 2018. My heart is broken over this insanity of two generals. What do they hope to rule over when this is done? A waste land?
praying for sudan right now, just donated
Peace upon you my African brothers and sisters
@@TheGreyLineMatters humanities greatest achievements have been brought forth through war.
Stop questioning natural selection and mankind's never ending creative ingenuity to gain over another
@@TheGreyLineMattersI don't recall saying good luck.
I dontated humanitarian aid recently. I hope all humans move away from destroying each other. Not just Africa, but the world. The two leaders should just fight it out between them rather than getting eveyone else killed along the way.

No words... Sad!
As an African American person who's partially Native American, I can tell you how this will end for the true Owners of Susdan, and I'm talking about how it will end for the black African Sudanese people. If the Sudanese don't fight those Arabs with everything that they have in their hearts, then they will lose their entire country to the Arabs. This is how Vietnamese forced the USA to leave Vietnam. Even though the US is a Super power and Vietnam was a just a small poor country but the Vietnamese fought that war from their hearts because it is their country so they where able to win the war against the Worlds number one super power. Although Vietnamese did receive help from China and Russia, the Vietnamese still had to fight their own war. Anyway, the black Sudanese had better figure it out quickly if they don't want to spend the next 400 years in slavery like African Americans did or lose their whole country like what happened to native Americans. Bring the fight to the Arab's front door and stop running from them because Sudan belongs to the Sudanese people and not those Arabs. Expel the Arabs from your country by any means necessary because they hate you, and they want to take over your whole entire country. I know that the Arab invaders in Sudan are getting help from other rich Muslim Arabs countries, but you Sudanese people had better do something before it's too late. Really don't want to see you guys losing your country to those Arab invaders.
My heart breaks for those baby’s …
Thank you for this video. Pease, How to donate UNCSR Sudan ?
It is not true that the people of Sudan say this is not their war. As a matter of fact, Sudanese people are overwhelmingly on the side of the army as they see this war as the battle of dignity. You can easily verify this on the ground.
Another thing that is left out of this truncated account of the raging war in my beloved country is the role of United Emirates Arabs role in supporting the Janjaweed forces.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️
Africa is her own problem. What are those two adult babies fighting for?
Thanks talk about Sudan 🇸🇩
Sudanese are very nice people they are very friendly and humble. I don’t know what’s happening with them. All this war and hunger of power will lead your country to no where until nothing left
Greed, when so called leader try to consolidate the country you offend the west. Using NGOs to destabilize the country
Allah help Sudan civilians people Animals are far better then such armies in countries who’s fighting for powers and killing the innocent civilians May Allah bring peace as soon as possible put these two crul gernels together and decided to stop this bloodshed in country Ameen
Allah never helped anyone... Allah brings death and destruction... "Allah will decide how many children you will have and Allah will provide".. 1960 population = 8.3 million now 45.7 million... explain how Allah is providing.. but you won't, because you are a religious fool and fraud
Both generals are Allah's pawns. This is the destiny programmed by Allah for Sudan.
It won’t be like this for much longer.
No matter what I’m always here for you

but you're not in darfur 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@gustavfringdelapolloshermanos I don’t think anything about this situation is funny.

prayers for Sudanese' best tomorrow! 😢
O MY PEOPLE ME ALLAH HELP OUR PEOPLE IN SUDAN
"ME ALLAH" 🙄
Thank you sandara gathman aunty from Bangladesh
Perhaps some kind of agricultural hub should be created in a space where Sudanese refugees can safely exist. Since there are no responsible parties left in Khartoum, it I think it will be up to the world as a collective. So how do we go about caring for and perhaps liberating these people? Any input helps
@@TheGreyLineMatters He is right, Sudanese need liberation from their useless elites in Khartoum
Great vídeo. I Just missed explains about other coutrys interventions, as Egypts and russsians
This is really sad 😢
3:28 “We’re under a complete siege, no food, no medication, no nourishment, nothing.
In one horrific incident 71 children & babies in an orphanage died over several weeks because of hunger & fever. They were trapped because of the fighting.”
Sudan did this to Darfur and South Sudan
now they are doing this to their own country, good
arabs are genocidal maniacs. darfur needs independence
Some exceptional journalism here. I am usually critical of Al Jazeera, but not today.
This is so devastating.
The tragic thing is that, the rest of the world is forcing Africans to run a modern day structure of a country with institutions which is something that does not align with the way we live. The 54 African countries have either collapsed or are on the verge of a collapse. The world should leave Africans alone, let them run their villages along tribal settings and regress to how they lived hundreds of years ago. These endless wars in africa is a struggle to go back to how we lived before the coming of the colonialists.
There is TH-cam from where you are writing this message?
@@Danimarcapital why do you ask?
@@sanfriday6667 I apologise as I wanted to write something nasty. I am from Mozambique and we are going through some things here…since 2017, and there is lack of reporting about what is going on here. Maybe because we are a Portuguese speaking country. I don’t know… But I agree with you! Africa has to find the the right solutions for us and that fit us. That is the only way to guarantee the long term solution!
@@Danimarcapital I'm a Ghanaian, and ghana is no better.
Make no sense, these wars are a regress to old times of tribal wars, you see a past that never existed, the real past was with tribal wars, many years of famine, high infant mortality, everyday struggle for food, low density of population, les then a 1/10 of today and without internet and electricity or other amenities of modern world.
Al Jazeera English is the only international news channel I trust.
you're a fool for relying on one source of news.
What is the purpose of the war then. The amount spent on food donations is enough to build the farm land of the nation, making life comfortable for all the Sudanese
JUSTICE FOR THE LAND MANIPUR TOO.🙏
Meiteis, Kukis & Nagas tribes at loggerhead for the last 75 yrs.
Good question. I might ask her directly.
Why no one is not talking about it?
Because they don’t care
The African league needs to show it has influence and stop African people killing each other.
Can’t stop radical islamists
As Africans we need to rise up. Our brothers in Sudan are dying.
You haven't stood for Somalia,dr Congo😂
Several other African countries are partially responsible for the conflict.
@@jackholman5008unfortunately Congo has many foreign interests
@@wally7361The west must also rescue DRC.😊
It sounds to me like we need to send in a large peacekeeping force in to stop both sides from fighting with each other. Just like we should have in Palestine, Ukraine and Rwanda. As a Canadian, I do not care for either side more than the other, it just breaks my heart to hear about all the senseless violence.
Islam without violence is an insult 😵
The word of God is better than money, you can just on that. Also,
mine words meant for ❤️ and justice not for the use of the disability of a country or its people...

God is blessed, joy, and love.
Stop the killing.
Please save a life 🙏
Plz bring Hindi version of AlJAZEERA in India.
I pray for the military army they're doing better
