Understanding the War in Sudan 🇸🇩 Factors that led to Armed Conflict and Voices of Resistance
In this episode, we are joined by Nisrin Elamin, an anthropologist and activist, and Khaldah Salih, a Sudanese-Canadian organizer, to unpack the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Together, we explore the historical and social context of the war, its human impact, and the importance of bringing attention to what is currently taking place in Sudan and…

Sudan is the name given to that land and the territory beyond by the bedouins(desert dwellers of Arabia) , the full name is "bilad as sudan" that means land of the blacks(africans), the inhabitants of that land called their territory Ta-seti(the land of the bow), the ancient greeks called them "the blameless people".
the bedouins invaded Egypt(the indigenous people of that land called it Tamery) , displaced and replaced the roman colonizers that happened in 639.
In 643 they attacked Ta-seti, precisely the kingdom of Dongola with 20 000mens, the bedouins were defeated for the first time in their conquest, the bowmen of Dongola killed between 9 and 11 thousands bedouins, they defended their land, the bedouins came back in 652, this time with 5000 men but better armed(siege weaponery), the battle lasted days and the bedouins pressured for a ceasefire that ended with the Bakht treaty, for the first time in african history signed a document forcing them to give away 320 men,women and children to foreigners in exchange for peace THIS IS THE BEGINING OF THE END for the indigenous people of "bilad as sudan", a proces of infiltration(small mosque built for bedouins "merchants"), the bastardisation of the local population(raiding isolated villages, kidnapping and raping african women,slavery…), the islamisation of people in exchange for safety, followed by the arabisation still ongoing, periodical genocides to control the numbers, still ongoing, finally the descendants of Ta-seti at least what remained of them voted for separation in a referendum, leaving the bedouins and his descendant to slaughter the people of Darfur, Blue nile, Kordofan who despite being islamized are still hanging onto what is left of african tradition.
that is in short what is also happening in my country Mauritania(on a lesser scale, we are only 4million but the dynamic is the same): the invaders arrive, we resist, they demand ceasefire and pretend they want peace but they have a plan for the long run and use Taqiya(nomad military strategy to deceive and hide their intentions), they proceed with raiding isolated, regions, they force convert by promising peace to a people that need it to work the land (agriculture as opposed to nomad who earn a living by raiding) finally they take over power and exterminate the indigenous people and claim to be the actual indigenous people.
SOLUTIONS:
the people of north Sudan need to understand that they will never be accepted by their fathers(the bedouins, arabs), they must embrace their african side(their mothers), that doesn't mean rejecting the arab side of them, but to get away from the nasty side of that culture (forcing people into religions, erasing their languages, slavery, the contempt for women, racism, lack of respect for life…)
that can only be done by reeducating the people., the rest will follow
peace
You guys one day invite Mabior Garang Mabior🙏
As a south Sudanese living amongst the displaced Sudanese community here in Kampala Uganda. It’s sad to see the harm & trauma a war has inflicted onto people.
All the damages both parties fighting have done and continue to do is at the expense of the common Sudanese people.
And like Tariq said “ In this battle it’s hard to determine who are the good guys”.
Ya'll deleting comments is a no go. Unsubscribed and unfollowing on all platforms.
As a Sudanese i must say that this is one of the best shows i have ever watched since the beginning of the war. Keep up the good work.
Negotiating peace without ever implementing it that’s a bar 🥶🥶🥶
the people are always going against themselves too, like if it wasn't the people the country wouldn't have been this way, and i'm not saying it's all but certain ideologies won't get you or your people anywhere.
look i think the problem is you guys are not addressing how the sudanesse people let religion divide them, which most african people do a lot of the times. and i think you guys need to touch down more on that issue and topic, because as long as you ignore religious extremes nothing will ever change since the people won't admit the lies is what they have accepted as a people for a very long time. like Sudan or south Sudan is not one nation under God but one nation under what they choose to view as the truth, when there's only one truth, which is righteousness.
wait how many kids tariq have 😂😂
1:17:24 This brother hit the nail on the head. Previously, I had heard some shifting of blame to Western powers for extracting resources, but Western powers, and corporations, are emotionless, they only care about money and what you can provide for them. Why would they care about the people? It's the job of a nation's leaders to care about the people, not other nations. The main issue seems to be elites selling their own people out for money while they're living it up and the tribes not uniting to overthrow them.
