Sudan looks like it’s headed for civil war. The current conflict is centered around two generals, two men who are fighting over control of the countries’ future. But their battle has the potential to spiral into a civil war that could engulf the entire region.

This is happening in Sudan bc the US/CIA want to politically control Sudan and Sudan is no longer having it.

[@rafeeali8307]

@@lisaa2104 Unfortunately wars create refugees and with refugees you get discrimination and two culture not being able to combine. We are seeing this with Europe, if a Sudanese refugee commits a crime it will get lumped with all Sudanese refugees or refugees in general. If a country in Europe has it's crime rate rise it will be attributed with refugees whether it be true or not as this is how it has been historically, blame always gets shifted towards minority group for the issues of a country, Hitler did this and was able to build N@zi germany, I fear for these people that they will be again victims of the rising distaste towards refugees and migrants in Europe. I believe that Europe has a right to choose who to let into their borders but I can't help but feel sympathy for the refugees of theses crisis that truly have no where to go. If they leave their country they are hated because unfortunately when you have open borders criminals and extermists go through as well and if they stay they only wait for their deaths. These were ordinary people with ordinary lives, from doctors, farmers, shoe polishers etc. and now they are forced into exile.

Hey Johnny! Greatly appreciate you making this video and bringing light to the fighting taking place in my home country. I was in Khartoum when the fighting broke out, and it shocked us all. I did want to say that I've heard conflicting reasons for why the fighting started, and who is responsible for it. In the video, you state that it was action taken place by the RSF when the new agreement required the RSF to be absorbed into the SAF that led to the conflict (i.e. the attack on Burhan's compound). While true the RSF reportedly mobilized their forces first across Sudan before the conflict started, the reports I heard on the morning the violence broke out was that the SAF initiated violent action by attacking an RSF base in southern Khartoum. What I mean by all of this is that who started the violence, and for what reason is much more complicated than just Hemedti wanting to maintain his military-business enterprise. The SAF, especially the Islamic elite within the SAF (similar to the Muslim Brotherhood, and what in Sudan we call "Al-Kayzan") also have interests in disrupting and ending any hopes of democratic transition and civilian rule.

Hi Johnny, as always - an incredibly well-made video. Thanks for bringing attention to an otherwise unkown and under-reported conflict (as most conflicts in Africa are). An intersting topic you might want to consider covering next is the insurgency & conflict in the Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique. The entire history of Mozambique has been tumultuous at best, and this incredibly beautiful country has been fighting a war since 2017 involving everyone from ISIS to the Wagner Group. Furthermore, this conflict seems to be completely ignored in the mainstream media. I think your style of visual storytelling, with high-quality maps and thorough research, would be a perfect platform to explain the current situation there. Looking forward to your next videos, and keep up the good work!

[@AsherPardey]

Agreed, what's happening in Cabo Delgado is severely underreported.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Absolutely, its insane what happened in Mozambique and insane that it was covered so little, because at first everyone thought an islamic group had formed akin to Al-Shabaab regarding local grievances with oil companies and oppression of Islamic minorities (also akin to ADF in Congo). But then you got a lot of news saying that the Al Shabaab name was not an official affiliation with the Somali group, but actually a cover for drug trade operating on the coast?

[@NowIKnow8]

how do you put out so much high quality content? its kinda insane

[@JackieWelles]

He is not a single person and has the whole team. Still very impressive work!

[@mnorth1351]

It's not that complicated. He is a professional journalist, it is literally his full-time job, and he has a fair number of people working for him researching, filming, and editing. That's how. He is good at his job, no doubt, but it is not some big mystery how he can be so good.

Being a Sudanese who was evicted from Darfur to south Sudan in 2020 all I can say is thankyou to Washington and Riyadh for brokering a peace deal...or atleast trying to

Happy Birthday Johnny!!🎉

[@Elmister1924]

Top notch work really impressive

[@oleksiistovpovyi6758]

Are you using the internationally recognized borders of the countries or the russian view on a world? Crimea is Ukraine (map on 10:50)

[@nazarsheshuriak8689]

To mark Crimea as Russia in 2023 is not just ignorance, it is the support of genocide.

[@DonOmarRamiro]

Nope. Crimea is part of Russia. . And I am from Argentina, with land stolen by England as the Malvinas Islands, depicted on the maps we use, but no in the maps they make of us. The Falklands Islands should be part of Argentina, but they are not, they won the war.

[@Nata-rp6pf]

@@DonOmarRamiro thanks! Yes, Putin mentioned the Falklands Islands.

[@oleksiistovpovyi6758]

​@@DonOmarRamiro Can you tell me how many countries recognized the occupied territory of Ukraine as russia?

[@nazarsheshuriak8689]

​@@DonOmarRamiro Well, the russians did not win the war, it is still going. They bomb my city literally every night. My friends was killed by russian soldiers. But I have a personal question for you. International law recognizes Crimea as a part of Ukraine. What is more important to you personally, law or power? And what do you think should be more important for all humanity? Law or bombs?

[@teugene5850]

This was an excellent video Johnny... it is a tragedy that none of this is discussed in our current corporate media landscape....

[@dchuns1]

That was a good boil down. Thanks

[@760phillip]

Got to tell you Johnny, you are the only person I enjoy watching adds on KZbin for.

[@michaelpupko444]

I rly needed this today Johnny. I can't wait to watch it. Thank you.

[@michaelpupko444]

@@anelesibanda9389 why the sad face, huh?

[@AaronNeff]

johnny is literally a legend in the making. can't wait to see some big streaming company give him a huge bag so can dive as deep as he wants in some important issue no one is talking about.

[@mosijahi3096]

If that happens- I’m guessing it want be the same-I’m sure Johnny knows that.
