Sudan's conflict, explained

How Sudan's top two military men turned on each other
Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: goo.gl/0bsAjO
On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.

They let you criticise them but draw a circle around it so nobody should talk the heinous crimes they are doing.

    I was born in a country that never had democracy. I realized thousands years of authoritarian rule change the national character of a people. It stifles any modern collective consciousness and intellect. People become selfish, cowardly and violent at the same time. The worst of human nature get immensely magnified and there will never be rule of laws under authoritarian regimes. Rule of men reign supreme. It undermines national identity. Unfortunately, authoritarian perpetuates itself. Overthrowing a regime is easy. Establish democracy requires national consensus. That is extremely difficult. Arab spring is a perfect example of that. It went from dictatorship to theocracy to secular dictatorship again.

In the middle, caught in the crosshairs, are the Sudanese people that protested for human rights, an affordable cost of living, democracy, and change.

    There are foreign actors, Sudan is far too valuable to leave be when there is a war, other intelligent nations see this conflict as their chance to bag resources and send arms to the side they support. Sudan even before this war was still economically weak, inflation was at 450% so the only reason there were refugees was so that they can go to Europe. There's a human trafficking business in Sudan, Libya and Algeria. Lotta peeps making whole lotta money even Hemetti himself who threatened the European Union by saying he'd release 300k refugees to Europe if Europe didn't complain with what he wanted, funny thing is is that the European Union is funding this war as well so they obviously weren't happy. The world of geopolitics is all about strategic play, if you don't have full control of your resources than other foreign nations and corporations will, if you can't checkmate your enemies then they'll checkmate you, if you don't have economic and military clout then you can't play this game.

    The former colonizers actually play a vital roll in this conflict, some time in 2021 Hemetti has threatened the European Union by saying he'd unleash 300k refugees into Europe as the refugees over there obviously don't want to stay in Sudan since their main gaol is Europe, Sudan has a prosperous human trafficking business. Fast forward to the current events and the European Union is now sending arms and fueling the conflict. The world of geopolitics is all about strategic play, if you don't have full control of your resources than other foreign nations and corporations will, if you can't checkmate your enemies then they'll checkmate you, if you don't have economic and military clout then you can't play this game. Russia wants that navel base and the US Ambassador warned the consequences if Russia gets that base. Burhan the leader of the SAF met with US Sec Anthony Blink weeks before the conflict started. Since this youtube vid is a "summarized' version and barely even touches the ice berg of what's really going, this video overall doesn't tell us much other than what we already know.
