Awww, don't do that! Let's say the seeds were sown when the European governments in African nations (which were composed of elite, white, rich, powerful, life altering men) left, creating a power vacuum to a civilization that was unprepared for industrialization. And to also install a puppet government (1:21) of the most base, unrepentant, life-altering, mostly European schooled men makes for what we are witnessing now.

There is no geographical divide between the 2 ethnic group as South Sudan (and Sudan) are very diverse. (This would require mass migration and mobilization for the biggest 2 group).

Probably not. In Rwanda nearly a million people were killed in acts of ethnic cleansing within the first 100 days of the purely sectarian 1994 conflict. This is way different. The South Sudanese civil wars been going on for four years now. Although lots of people have died, this is in a political conflict with sectarian undertones. Plus as of last year the situation was winding down with only an estimated 3000 or so people dying of it in 2015. Ever since 1994 people have been worried about genocide (rightly so).

I am Sudanese and my relation with south Sudanese was playing in street all day with Barefoot and nothing called home since every house in the block is my home ,if you are African you probably understand what I mean, really love my brother and one day they had to leave by force of both governments, we all been crying . it started even before the independent of sudan from. the british was dividing the country just like the way it is now even in laws it was diffrent than the norh sudan wich was the spark of some reccemee, by the eurbian colonianesem that that in many countries in afriaca by purpose in inorder to make african alwayes in need for them. anyway Early early 1940s, from the last century groups of American missionsaries came to south sudan wich had had some local religions and they started to spread the Christianity and teaching them "thier rights" as they were claiming, wich was supeesd to be teaken from the northen goverment in case of undependent wich the northen ware lookedly looking for and most of them ware audocated and it was clear that they will teak power in case of indepenence, wich is exactly was the case. and since the firs day of our independent the they started asking for there right in resources and high position in goverment, that voice was by some political leader wich are now the leaders of south sudan and they ware alwayes armed and do not ask me where they got that arms from wich was enough to supplite the longest war in the history of africa wich is more than 50 years. US goverment was alwayes telling our southern brothers that after there independent the will be the swiss of africa and i am witing for that Swiss to become exist since have a lot of homes there in my country.

[@krim7]

African slaves were brought from around Africa to the Americas. Little regard was given to recording where those slaves came from. Few records were kept about slave lineages. Doubly so when you consider how often slave owners, the slave master's employees and the slave master's guests interbred with the slaves, thus creating babies who were half European and half African. Thus African Americans know little of where their ancestors came from.

[@sor3999]

Assuming this was sarcasm; you aren't taking into account that for much of our history the US has been isolationists except when they absolutely deemed it necessary (often financially) to intervene. We are also as a people insulated by our extremely large economy, from the sway and flux of the world around us. This issue in Sudan, for example, has absolute 0 effect on 99.9% of the US population. Weather there is a genocide or not, all that will happen is people will ignore it or they will post a picture/comment about their thoughts and prayers or whatever else people do on facebook these days.

People hid behind the monroe doctrine and isolationism in the events leading up to ww2 and its interesting to see they are still hiding behind it.

jumbovs I steal don't get it how you do that

[@fayguled900]

jumbovs Are you going to disregard the caste system? It is one of the worst systems in the world.

[@fayguled900]

jumbovs Are you sure about that? Are you telling me parents would approve of someone marrying someone in a lower caste in big cities? You are pretty much lying right now. As for job apportunities for someone in a lower caste is minimal to none. The caste system in India is ingraved into the culture. It doesn't matter whether it is a big city or not. India has a bigger GDP than South Sudan and the fact that South Sudan is a 5 year old country makes it ridiculous for you to compare it to India.

[@durodesduvo8424]

jumbovs Is India even a peaceful place?

[@vs16694]

fay guled I think you are more clueless than I am. I wasn't comparing the economic prowess of the two nations. I was talking about the ethnic and religious disparity. India for several centuries has been open to all kinds of cultures and religions. It makes sense to compare both because of the ethnic turmoil South Sudan is going through with only two major factions whereas India continues to harbour a population which is exponentially more diverse. Regarding the marriage quotient, you are right, but partially. Inter-caste marriage isn't very common but it's changing fast. People tend to marry into their own caste or religion, mostly because they have a certain amount of familiarity to the traditions and customs of their own caste. In India, tradition plays a huge role from birth till a man dies. People don't want to let go of that culture easily so they prefer someone from their own caste, so they can keep that going. I'll give you some facts and you can make up your mind after that. US: Interracial marriages - 8.4% India: Intercaste marriages - 11.4% Feel free to ask me for the source of these statistics. Though, I'm not someone who likes to belittle someone, according to surveys US actually fares worse than India. Despite being mostly homogenous in terms of religion, culture and language, still US fares a lot worse. My advice to you: It's easy to point out problems but difficult to solve them. Don't be predisposed to make certain assumptions when you clearly are ignorant about what's going on. I, despite being an Indian am mostly ignorant about my own country. US despite being called the most progressive nation still fares worse than India on a similar quotient. Caste system indeed is bad. But it's difficult to cleanse it easily from its roots because India is still less than 7 decades old and caste based discrimination started to become a taboo only after independence. The government gives more than ample opportunity to the people coming in lower caste category. 52.5 % of all government jobs and seats in educational institutions are reserve for lower caste category. Due to this, the lower caste sections who moved to cities and applied for reserved jobs enjoy a higher standard of living than a person from unreserved category. That's because it's relatively a lot easier to secure a job, if you belong to a reserved category as the cut off score is very low. I don't know what else to add. If you think I'm lying, you can look it up or I can provide the source of my info. Adios! P. S. I'd suggest you to talk to any friend who emigrated from India. And ask him about the situation. Perhaps you will get a better insight.

Man O' War 💀Who lied to you? The Republican Party literally only makes up 27% of the country, the only way you people are physically able to win elections is through the electoral college. The Democratic Party percentages rises each year while the republicans lower. If you look up voting and race by statistics the majority of republicans are old white men in the middle of the country. When they die off that’s it, the reason why the right wing discourages immigration is because most immigrants become democrats. Generation z is highly liberal and the Republican Party is a dying minority. Democrats won the popular vote by over 8 million votes. The next generation is growing up in the trump era, in the next 60 years the Republican Party isn’t gonna be here, you do know that right?
