The Sudan crisis isn’t even listed on ongoing events on Wikipedia’s main page. It’s insane how overlooked it is.
I'm pretty sure it was though, I remember seeing it there a while ago, but yeah it isn't here right now.
What would it even Change tho its overlooked cause Nobody gives a fk
No Jews no news

After Pres. Trump wins his 3rd election, new foreign aid rules go into place. African countries have to educate all people to collect!
So, let me get this straight.
Most African Conflicts:
Step 1. Dictator
Step 2. Uprising military coup against dictator.
Step 3. Military Promises Elections.
Step 4. Oops we forgot. Now we dictate.
Step 5. See step 1.
Pretty clearly neither side has any moral high ground. Also the RSF atrocities are definitely not the whole story - you can't attract hundreds of thousands of volunteer fighters abroad by killing tens of thousands of their people.
also throw in that its almost always russia or chinas fault.... even though america, france, or england are almost always fucking with borders and planting puppet leaders that disrupt everything.
You forgot the most important reason why these conflicts still continue: Religion, the peaceful institution that was created to worship some kind of good god, that can be used to justify the most abhorrent human behaviour as righteous.
@@caedo6171 That doesn't make any sense. These borders are man made by other nations. The reason why there's corruption because Africans are not nationals they are divided on tribal and reilgious views no other countries are like this. How many different ethic groups like in Nigeria and Sudan ? There's 500 ethic groups in sudan alone. They don't identify as sudenese they identify by their ethnic groups that's why there's a civil war every damn 5 years in a African country each group wants to be in power. Then you got reilgion and language issues. We all know Muslim countries are not tolerant to other reilgion. So if you don't get to the root cause of why they keep fighting its disingenuous and low key racist.
@caedo6171 neo colonialism is still a thing as great powers like France, China, russia and the US still extract resources and play geopolitics within Africa and essentially help encourage corruption as the wealth and resources are taken from the general population and are given only to the elite and foreign nations
I met a man who was one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan" from the Second Sudanese War. He and his little brother managed to escape into the desert when his Christian village was slaughtered during a raid by one of the Islamic militant groups. His little brother died in the desert, but he managed to find his way to a refugee camp. He was eventually sponsored by a Christian church group to come to the United States. He lived with a sponsoring family, who helped him find a job and enroll in school. He became a medical lab technician. When I met him, he was the Director for Laboratory Quality Control for a large public hospital system in Houston, Texas.
Don't know why Muslims hate us Christians so much😓
@@spartacus551 Both sides fight each other, unaware that they’re only so different from one another. Both Islam and Christianity are cut from the same Abrahamic cloth.
Why do Abrahamic religions fight each other?
“The reason is because they are absolutest, and they contradict each other.
For example,
In Judaism the Torah is the first, and final revelation (guidance) to mankind. The prophets, and the writings were only meant to guide the Jews back to the Torah.
In Christianity the New Testament is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Tanakh. The New Testament is the second, and final revelation (salvation) to mankind.
In Islam the Quran is the continuation (succession), and completion of the Torah (Tanakh), the Gospels (New Testament), and every other revelation to mankind. The Quran is the final revelation (guidance) to mankind.
There can only be one true religion for absolutest religions.”

@@spartacus551because the big christian countries started most wars the last 200 years and semi-enslave the rest of the world more or less and the USA are the final top power. China and russia are not going to win long term. NATO and United Nations are in western control. This video is very western biased. Many so called evil dictators weren't so evil and acted in the interest of their countries. Many so called terror attacks had been ochestrated by western military and later claimed it had been others. gadaffi was ki ll ed because he wanted a proper united currency for africa with gold standard and wanted to develop african independence, Osama Bin Laden wasn't the mastermind behind 9/11 and the invasion of afghanistan and even more iraq completly unjustified, the pro western iranian overnment under the Shah exploited the country in western favor what caused the revolution,...etc.
@@spartacus551 "Don't know why Muslims hate us Christians so much😓"
Your crime is to not be Muslim, that is enough..... Ever heard of the Spanish inquisition? That was a time when Christians had the same level of arrogance that Muslims have today... but it was not sustainable once the Bible became widely known. The Quran though is less decisive to dissuade religious arrogance and fanaticism, so therefore these archaic mindsets continue to thrive to this day.
I'm happy to hear that man was helped out. Thank you for the story!
As a Sudanese who lost everything because of this war, thank you for this, this is the most accurate explanation to the war. Truly a forgotten conflict.

It's really not complicated Russia and UAE get easy access to gold in Sudan
Not just that lol. Iran is supplying Russia against Ukraine, while here Ukraine and Iran are on the same side against Russia
nobody really cares, Sudan isnt Ukraine.
@@anderstermansen130 nobody really cares about Ukraine anymore either. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union has paid Russia $200 billion in fossil fuel payments, mostly for oil and gas. That makes the EU the largest enabler of Russia's war effort, ahead of China and India.
I saw RSF rebels shooting from my window, even to already dead bodies. I will never forget those nearly 2 weeks trapped in Khartoum when the war basically broke out outside my building on that 15 April which changed everything. I was happy living in Khartoum. You’d be surprised of how kind, how nice, how brave the Sudanese people actually are. I was part of the UN’s transitional team who wanted the Revolution to really have an impact for Sudan’s future. A future that was promising when people took to the streets. It hurts to see that what I once called home is now considered “Africa’s Aleppo”. Nonetheless, what hurts the most is to see how the world doesn’t pay attention to Sudan’s bloodbath and humanitarian disaster. One of the world’s largest human catastrophes of our time.
There are a few things to revise in this video as per historical and political context. There are also images/videos placed wrongly while you were speaking, which can cause confusion (like when you were talking about Burhan and showcasing South Sudan’s President or showing videos from the revolution/protests while talking about the war). Overall however is very good video to showcase what’s been happening and most importantly, who’s responsible for the fueling of this war and related conflicts.
how much do the sudanese care about the problems of anyone else except themselves 🤔

When I was in 8th grade, four young men from Sudan came to speak to us about their experience growing up in Darfur. I’m very saddened to hear that this nation is still suffering. Those men were very nice despite the very very awful things that they saw and had happened to them. It was one of the only times my rowdy class did not mess around or crack jokes.
Every one else I have met from Sudan has been so nice. I hope this nation eventually heals and the Sudanese and their various populations can live in peace.
unfortunately, it’s wishful hope. Sudanese live under sharia law

Here a Sudanese guy. Just some corrections and things to note:
1. Burhan was not the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, it was Omar-Al-Bashir until he was overthrown. The Army then gave the position to Ahmed Awad ibn Awf who was unpopular with people for being perceived as too much of an El-Bashir loyalist so he didn't last longer than 48 hours. Burhan who was chief of staff was the second pick.
2. SAF is the military which was once the Sudan Defense Force under British Egyptian rule... so the military is actually older than the country as an institution. Al-Bashir regime created many other militias that acted beside the armed forces (operating as part of the extensive Sudanese internal Security apparatus)
These militias include the Operations Authority (Islamist loyalists) who are currently fighting with the army, and the strengthened Central Reserve Police which got military level training. It must be noted that the Central Reserve Police was created by Jafaar Nimeri not Omar Al-Bashr, they were created to violently suppress tribal disputes.
3. Burhan is not Hemedti's rival (although both knew each other personally before the transitional period and there is a huge psychological-personal factor involved now as they take shots at each other occasionally.)
The Army Command is much of a junta, the Military is an institution that believes the country belongs to it and that it's the rightful Guardian of Sudan. Burhan is just a figure head and equal to his fellow senior generals. Hemedti meanwhile got an almost stalinist cult of personality going around him and his Militia belongs to the "Daglo" family. Although there are some tribal elements to the RSF, they operate more as a criminal Organisation, almost like ISIS but they lack ideological motivation. They are just mercenaries and quite good at it.
4. Most Sudanese people don't like the National Army because of its history and incompetent leadership but everyone hates RSF who they spitefully call "Janjaweed" and "militia". The only folks in Sudan who like the RSF are probably those with personal links to it whether tribal or familial. The Army and RSF are not equals at all in the eyes of most Sudanese, however political parties here had been seeking to muddy the water and try to portray the Army as an "Islamist Militia" which is simply not true. Armed, Secular Rebel groups, Revolutionary Resistance Committees, Islamist regime loyalists have all been fighting alongside the army while putting aside their diffrences for now. I believe there is a somewhat pragmatic level of agreement against and a real of the RSF which is motivating these groups to fight alongside the Army (Each of these elements is weary of the Armed Forces because of History)
5. RSF started committing war crimes against "African" trib3s in Darfur immediately. Mostly the militias they are allied with.
6. The Sudanese Army bombings are indiscriminate not because of an intentional hatred of civilians as much as an irresponsible apathy to said civilians. Faulty intel and the use of primitive antinovs and migs are the main culprits leading to great human causalities and often not much harm against the RSF. The Sudanese Army had recently been fixing this problem (at least in the capital) by using drones (mostly commerical ones) to do precision strikes which helped it achieve some strategic success for the first time since the war. Still this had been condemned many times by people living in Sudan in areas still Army control.
Can I ask , was it common knowledge in Sudan that the south Darfur people was being unalived and did people do anything about it ? Thanks

Thank you for covering this story. I'm Sudanese and although I've never lived in Sudan, people in my personal life have been affected by what is currently going on.

My Sudanese friend who's 22 years old went to visit his fsmily in Sudan back in summer of 2021 or when ever it was last safe and he's berb stuck there ever since. Evey once in s while he gets online and uodates on his situation and he's told me he was coming home in fall of 2022 that didn't happen then again in summer of 2023 that also didn't happen. He says there's a bunch of non sundanese people also stuck with them including Americans, Australians, British, Canadians and more. They are trying to make it to South Sudan which isn't as bad and hopefully get on flight out of this hell hole country. He's a young man who's lived in the USA since he was 3 yesrs old. This is all he knows and he was never interested in going back to Sudan he just did this time for his mom. Im sure he's scared its dangerous to be A male. Hope to see you soon Ammar!

It’s all he does. It’s basically a large amount of research. And present it properly with good editing and animations such as the maps and all. Which he may have an editing team as well, maybe
Partly, by not proof listening.

Sudan has over 225 Nubian pyramids, more than any country in the world including Egypt which has 118 and only a handful are not in complete ruins and still standing (mainly at Giza). A further 80 of the Egyptian pyramids also ended up in Sudan after a historic border change. In war human life is obviously the priority but the protection of archeological/historical/art relics is also something but should also be considered, although it is nowhere near as important as preserving human life. Having seen the pyramids, they really are something special.
Did you copy/paste that? Be honest
Lots of not so impressive pyramids no one cares about, what's the point
@@richardwalters2715😂😂😂
@MerooyySudan and Egypt both have vowels in their names
Well yeah, that makes sense seeing as Nubia was mostly in modern day Sudan. Same reason why Mexico has more Aztec pyramids then America and why there's more Saxon forts in England then in Italy.
The blood bath in Sudan is severely overlooked to a point that it actually hurts, I fear everday for the lives of my family members and friends in Sudan, our house and car are gone alongside with most of our savings, horrifyngly unknow future, but yet am considered to be one of the few luckiest people because I made it out of the country alive with my family.

It is so hard to keep up with everything going on around the world, especially when you need to know so many details to begin to understand the situation.
It's better not to keep up with everything going on around the world, it's exhausting and you cannot do anything about it.
It's pathetic the mainstream media doesn't even cover this, or much of anything anymore. I mean, Trump and Biden are important to discuss, but it's all they do 24/7. They fucking suck.
The sad thing is that as of now half of the country doesn't have access to internet or network services, no calls or anyway to know if our families are fine or to send them money
That's likely a major reason why the war isn't as famous as other African wars like Libya, similar to the virtually unknown tigray war, whereas the Ukraine war is so well documented that people are making memes about it and every missile in Gaza is filmed from 3 different angles.

AJHAGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sudan reminds me of Suzerain...
It's not, Caspian Report is better for instance.
by an absolutely VAST and DEVESTATING margin
Takknemlig for denne videoen ❤
Am very grateful for the channel to talk about Sudan crisis
Thanks for the great information
And they say Islam is a religion of peace
Really appreciate the video in which exclusively explained the main reason for the ongoing conflict.
A lot of people don’t know what’s going on which has to do with the things that have happened decades ago.
Amazing work 👏🏾👏🏾
I'm from sudan and I really appreciate you shedding some light on the tragedy that is happening in sudan since last year . me and my whole family and extended family have been kick out of our homes by the RSF and lost nearly all of our assets and everyday we hear about a friend or a relative's death weather killed by the RSF or torn into shreds by the military's booming .
We've done nothing wrong ... we don't even know why the 2 armies are fighting yet we're the ones that suffers the most .
the Internet was shut off for more than 2 months were we were staying we'd all gather around the TV and see if there's any news about the situation in sudan since we couldn't leave our houses and we had no idea what was happening but no one talked about it , it wasn't even mentioned and it was so frustrating and left me wondering... are we not human beings? Does our lifes not matter? So I mean it when I say I appreciate what you're doing ❤
RLL you're by far my favorite CZcams channel and every time a video comes out it makes me so happy!!!
Thanks for talking about our forgotten war. As we feel that you stand by us and try to remind the world of our current situation, and for the next time; please make sure to use Sudan's full map.
Seriously great work this year, so far. Keep up the great work!
So glad I have Nebula. Looking forward to watching the exclusive companion video.
Thank you for making a video about sudan's crisis. News are not covering this topic anymore
I'm a Sudanese who got lucky and find my way to US just before the war takes place, I my self contributed in the revolution in 2018 which cost me years of my youth. It's depressing how things went out right now, and it has been more than a month since the shutdown of the internet, not a single message or response from family and friends💔 the burden is unbearable.
May Allah have mercy on who ever affected by wars🙏🏽
Thanks for your efforts and PLEASE Talk more about SUDAN 🇸🇩 & G@ZA 🇵🇸🙏🏽
Do you travel to USA illegally???
You have been sheltered by the west and still show no empathy towards Ukraine, racist and ungrateful
@@lizakhan2207 No, I've got a permanent residence.
People talk about Gaza all the time. It isn't overlooked at all.
What's happening in Sudan is way worse than what is happening in Ukraine but the media isn't talking about it at all.
An excellent documentary!! Very sad what is happening in Dafur!
The effort that goes into these videos is absolutely insane ❤
Yeah, dude is a G
The money he makes with these videos is also absolutely insane.
Y
Except for the VO, which he phones in via Folger's can.
Pansos
As a Sudanese, I deeply appreciate this video.
Good video on a tragic situation 👍
Am from South sudan but thanks 🙏🏾 for shedding light on the facts.
This video like all them are informative and detailed. This is also a great reminder of how inaction against aggression and violence gives the allure that it is unstoppable and acceptable an therefore will be repeated.
Stuff like this always makes me glad my country, Nigeria, was created/colonized by the British and not Arabs. We have issues and a long history of problems but nothing as bad as what Arabized Africa has.
But what is the diffrence when you have the whole north following the "religion of peace"
The same genocide is happening in Northern Nigeria only slower because the nation state is still intact albiet badly run and mismanaged but intact non the less, but it's happening.
Great video! I wonder if you could do one about Nigeria and the conflicts going on over there.
Fantastic video
I'm not in any way an expert on Sudanese history but it seems like to me that Sudan should have never been divided, and that the entire idea that any part of Sudan was ever rightfully Arab is beyond ridiculous. The so-called "Sudanese Arabs" are generally of partial indigenous Sudanese descent themselves.
Sudaneae Africans are too busy trying to bugger one another, to stop more organized peoples from buggering them all.
Correct. Arab in Africa is more a linguistic identity. The conflict in darfur has been primarily between nomadic and farmer communities. There aren’t really any Arabs in Darfur.
I do believe the same.
But for a different reason.
when sudan and egypt and literally half of "arabian africa" was controlled by muslim caliphates for literally over a thousand years there was very few, if any historic civil wars in these regions on the scale we see today, when they were united by the fact that they were human, not just "arabs" or """"muslims"""" (islam forbids this distinction when treating others, and it promotes treating everyone equally, black, white, muslim, non-muslim, arab, whatever, treating everyone equally is a must to be considered a muslim. and infact the word "islam" comes from "peace" which is the absolute main point of islam.)
Back in that era there was prosperity and growth that modern "arabian africa" lacks, yeah they have technology now, yeah they don't live in huts of tree leaves anymore, but they are actively killing themselves, and in my opinion that's worse than when they were living in caves let alone huts of leaves.
the modern borders of ethnicity and religion we see today is primarily caused by, (in my opinion), 1-nationalism and 2-colonialism by the europeans.
yeah the europeans got rich and won in the end, but that cost africa its future and many many many many countless lives of people.
and obviously if you abuse your power with your new weapons against tribes people you will win, but history will remember you as a warmonger and criminal forever, not to mention the very hot hell waiting for you after death.
Thanks!
Great video
It's so sad to witness the world we live in. Watching this, I feel like I shouldn't have anything, my heart goes out to every victim involved
Religion and greed. Nothing ever changes. There's no hope for humanity as a whole.
Plenty of hope. Things are much better now than back in the day; way less people dying.
Thank you so much for informative video! ❤
And I always think its neighbor, DR Congo, is worth a news as well.
Thank u im sudanese and i lived in sudan for about 4 years of my life
Thank u for being our voice ❤
I am Sudanese and i have heard sum reports of Human trafficking. Someone I know lived in the war and said the RSF would go around looking for girls and kidnap them, on a mass scale, not just here and there.
Someone once had to marry off his daughter to let the rest of his family escape, a sacrifice that no father should ever do but this father was forced by circumstance.
South Sudan is like the chill dude being affected by crazy neighboor
U
Guess what religion the crazy neighbors are
I am also sudanese and live in UAE
my father predicted this and prepared for it
he sent us out 1 month before war
my whole family escaped hamdullilah
From a geography channel you are turning into a geopolitics channel 😊😊..
Keep going you doing great.
And before being a geography channel it was a channel with interesting stories.
Could you occasionally make videos of areas that are secretly doing better than people know?
Hey, I love your videos, but the last 2 seem to have had some audio changes that have made them difficult to listen to with earbuds. It sounds like the gain on vocal audio is a bit too high, so that it's almost distorted sounding.
Du bon travail 👌 vidéo éclairante
I recommend the book “What is the What” by Dave Eggers for anyone interested in learning more about the Sudanese conflict, it is the true story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, Valentino Achak Deng, who fled Sudan as a child. Phenomenal book
Perfect, a RLL video to start the weekend.
Week end lol I notice a pattern here weekend week end geddit
Sudan will be front page news if Peace ever breaks out there.
What an *insane,* bewildering, complicated mess & tragedy, that virtually no one is aware of... this is horrible. Absolutely heartbreaking. May the victims rest in peace🕯
I have been following this conflict closely and it's sad that it doesn't get much attention on news channels.
Reverse colonialism has been a disaster for everyone involved, except the few that profit from chaos and misery.
I like the content and it’s great that you are shining a light on this conflict. You absolutely should cite sources for this and your other videos. I want to be able to share this video and do further reading on the topic but can’t because you do not cite sources. I don’t feel comfortable sharing a piece of information with someone when there are no sources cited, and that is a shame because I like the content you make. I have been saying this for a year now, I hope eventually you can start citing sources so that others can verify the validity of your claims. It would be required on a child’s book report, it is absolutely required for discussions of modern conflicts.
How about.... using the internet....like he did?
@@NickanM What. Not trying to be snarky here but I have no idea what you mean
the word Janjaweed is like the word Paratrooper, ie translates to a trooper (Arabic: "Junndi") utilizing a horse (Arabic: "Jaweed"), hence "Janjaweed".
Wow thanks for this. I have some clarity now. Can you do Haiti if you haven’t?
Not forgotten in Australia. Most of the people in Sudan seem to have emigrated to Australia. They are now culturally enriching their new home country.
Thank you for this very interstingt topic. I didn't knew anything about this terrible situation. But I have a quick note here, Sudan is not the largest country in Africa. It's the third largest, after Algeria and Congo.
It WAS the largest before the referendum.
@@ChinnuWoW I see, I got this wrong.. thank you for correcting me
Okay, is it just me or does the guy of RealLifeLore sound like he’s trying to speedrun through saying all the information that is needed for this video?
As Egyptian it’s break my heart to my brothers and sisters in Sudan suffering from 2 parties divided the country
Could you imagine how much longer these videos would be if he didn’t talk so fast?
It's been forgotten because it's not Palestine and it's not getting people likes online :) I've seen very few people try to raise awareness about Sudan and post about charities but their replies have been flooded by free palestine people. Interestingly, none of them are actually from Palestine or involved in any way. Sad times we live in.
Of course I'm not saying the Palestine situation isn't important it's just the disgusting behavior of people who use it as a way to virtue signal online bothers me.
I 100% agree. It's unfortunately made me slightly resentful towards Israel/Palestine.. of course that's a humanitarian crisis we should pay attention to.. but people act as if it's the only one.
and everyone hated Israel, but not Sudan for "genocide". Sudan and the RSF are committing genocide against a certain ethnic group (Fur)
Free Palestine and free Sudan
Sudan 🇸🇩 is just for the Sudanese people.
God bless and protect you my love country!❤
I want to correct some information on the video as it hasn't been mentioned in the comments:
1- Khartoum (the capital) pre-war population estimated roughly between 10-12 million and the mentioned number 6.5 million go back to the last official 2010 census the number has doubled because Khartoum for a long time considered as a safe shelter for those coming from conflict areas.
2-the population of Wad Madani is esstmetied to be 700k due to the same reason + 500k displaced from khartoum before RSF conquer the city
