The UAE is funding and arming RSF. This isn’t only an “internal” conflict, but it’s being supported by UAE to get their government of choice in charge of Sudan - one that will align to their interests and also normalize relations with Israel.

I would not say that Sudan is forgotten. It is sometimes used by Israel supporters as a deflection. "Look at Sudan so you see how a real genocide looks like." It does feel less important from the perspective of Europe because while we have clear sides in Israel and we are supporting the side that is perpetrating the genocide, we don´t have clear favorite in Sudan.

I agree with you to a certain extent . I think all of these wars and conflicts should all be on the news 24/7 . However with what is happening in Gaza and the Genocide there that will be a difficult task as well with Russia and Ukraine . Not that this war in Sudan is trivial or unimportant. I just recently found out about it . I think we need to stop relying on western Media outlets . Focus on Aljazeera as it gives you news of countries all over the world and with great reliable information that is easily comprehended and digested by the mind .

You are so interesting to listen to. Thanks you
I appreciate your information. It is much appreciated to get more detail on how to support the civil Community
I think that the report made a mistake when it equated the army with the Rapid Support, and for your information this war is between the Sudanese people and their army against the Rapid Support.
As long as there is profit in wars, it will always continue
The world hasn´t abandoned Sudan. The problem is that neither of the warring parties are good guys. Yes, the poor, as always, are being crushed and executed in the war. But, short of a major military action, involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the world can do nothing. Even humanitarian aid is simply coopted by the warring parties, so, what can the world do?
Ya Allah help the people of Sudan. Amiin

It saddens me to say this, but it's the brutal truth. Sudan has become one of the armpits of the world! It's a failed country. There's now a danger of full-scale genocide in Sudan. Sudan is now one of the worst places you can possibly go to in this world. Peace seems to be something that many in Sudan have no desire to see!
It's not a civil war, UAE backed RSF uses alot of merssinaries to fight Sudanese Armed forces and Sudanese people.

It was a payment system problem....when Bashir was in power...the army general for paid thru defense department....the RSF was paid thru national treasury...the problem started when both got rid of Bashir and the national army demanded that the RSF turn in their weapons and personnel and be integrated with the defense department.... otherwise be disbanded....this just another way of saying there's no such a thing as a side army and a number 2 man
