Are ethnicity & natural resources factors in Sudan's conflict? | Inside Story

I was very impressed with Waleed Madibo; he highlighted the deep racism within the Sundanese hierarchy

AU needs to be proactive and draft laws. As an Ethiopian, I feel the absence of 'rule of LAW' in defining political systems and all aspects of life is missing in most African countries. Ethnic based conflicts and other power struggles are becoming the only way to get to power. There are no laws on who & how one can get to lead a nation. This opens ways for outsiders to help 'any armed group' so they access resources or get a political alley in the region. Pretty much, any gangster can become a leader. No minimum requirements 😒

I am just glad South Sudan 🇸🇸 removed themselves from this mess .

"When two elephants fight, the grass suffers." This is a typical example of the current situation in Khartoum Sudan. The civilians (the grass ) are dying like mosquitoes while the generals are executing their mighty powers, thanks to their external support from foreign countries which have their interest in the country ranging from the fertile Nile River for agricultural products to the vast range of natural resources.

Ethnicity is definitely a factor in this conflict.

🇸🇸 South Sudan's reaction: ☕🔎​=​🧐

They are both from Arab tribes. You can get basic facts straight. Hemetti genocided the Fur in Darfur and other non-Arab groups.

natural resources and for obvious reasons tribalism and racism will be used get these resources

10:00 Hey this is a really stimulating discussion!

Really hope this conflict is sorted out soon.

2 generals, supposedly representing their people and the country, taking those very things to the dogs. If they are really concerned, they should just fight one-on-one with each other in a duel and resolve their differences. Both the country and the citizens will all be safe and alive that ways.

Whoever tries to look into Sudan's war. The main factor here is ethnicity. As he mentioned, Darfour, South Kordofan, blue Nile and the central Sudan. Therefore way forward; introduction of federal government where by each region will utilize their own resources for development. That will bring long awaited peace to the people of Sudan.

perfect

We have to just pray for our neighbor, Sudanese people🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I agree 💯 with the first professor. The political scientist.

No ethnicity the main reason is the resources, Ethnicity is used as an umbrella to seperate them.

So the fight is between Arabs and non Arabs. We witnessed such a confrontation in the south of Algeria in 2014 and much earlier than 2014 but the fight wasn't that deadly...

When they are in Africa they say call themselfs as Arabs But if relocated to Arab coun they call them Black Africans

look at them go! They've come very far!

Just a few weeks before the Civil War broke out the US sent their envoy to preach about democracy. Then a free days later this happend, how ironic.
