Why Is the World Ignoring Sudan's Civil War?

Thank you for covering lesser known conflicts like Myanmar, Sudan, Ethiopia, etc. These conflicts deserve far more attention.

It’s similar to the issue with Myanmar, no journalists and good luck getting a camera in. Journalists were getting kidnapped and arrested for reporting in Sudan BEFORE the war.

❤ As a Sudanese who just lost my uncle to this war. My cousin is been kidnapped and we have no idea where he is, I can't put into words how much I appreciate you covering this conflict. Every single member of my family has been displaced

It’s so hard to keep up with every atrocity. You seem to be doing it well, thank you.

To be fair, even the Ukrainian war is missing from the headlines since the Hamas-Israel conflict. People just move on and forget what doesn't affect them.

Am Sudanese and I basically witnessed all the important events this century in my country and I think it is an obscure conflict because it is so complex and confusing to outsiders. You need decades worth of context to know how we got to this point. I was in school when the war broke out and our principal started crying because it was an enormous responsibility to be in a war zone with an entire school on your shoulders. I still have very close relatives there and what they say is that the war is mostly in the capital while the outer cities are MOSTLY unaffected (Edit : well I will be damned, the RSF invaded the second most populous city without resistance from the army) +the Sudanese army is basically doing Jack shit because the RSF are too many. Me and my entire family's homes got robbed to the ground or used as mass graves

Well done. I really appreciate this

Thank you for helping bring this to the forefront. If my country can waste time fawning over Taylor and Travis then they can devote some quality time towards understanding this conflict and discussing how we can bring real peace and stability to that tragically war ravaged area.

When I was in an online group therapy a Sudanese woman was in our group. She talked about how she had to close her bakery because of the fighting. She didn't know how she was going to get her mother out of dodge. Eventually our meetings heard bombs exploding consistently over her audio. She dropped out and we haven't heard from her since.

I) It’s an African conflict II) It’s quite complicated with a bit of history III) It just doesn’t have a good vs evil, no matter which side and way you slice it. Edit: For III I’m not saying that conflicts that receive a lot of attention always have an obvious good vs evil. I’m saying that conflicts where a person’s personal believes allows them to intimately align with one of the sides of the conflict will encapsulate their interests a lot more than those that don’t. Sudan doesn’t have that. That’s all I’m saying.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It seems like so many others have become so weary from hearing about conflict. I guess that's always been true every since the radio and television.

Amazing work!! You guys are doing here.

A big problem is the corruption too. A friend of mine (at my workplace) who is Sudanese, managed to get his wife and 2 children out of Sudan into our country after 1 year, a lot "payments" to government and embassies (around 15‘000) and a lot of other headaches. I’m glad he managed to get his family into safety.

As an American, I think we tend to just lump all of Africa into a single area that just always seems to have war going on so most people aren't that taken back by it. It's good that people like Simon and others bring more awareness to it. It's really just so unfortunate what human beings are capable of doing to each other and that we seem to be incapable of forgiveness and empathy for the other people

I love this channel. You cover things that many of the world tend to forget about but is actually very important

Thank you for using your platform to highlight the crisis in Sudan 🇸🇩!

modern conflict in Africa seems like the Sengoku Period in Japan or the Warring States Period in China... it isn't that the world isn't watching, it is just happening with such frequency that people aren't reactive when it happens

Absolutely correct on all counts. Simply put, people are tired of hearing about conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, don’t care about the parties involved or the outcomes of said conflicts, and are increasingly unwilling to support spending more money trying to prop up these seemingly failed or failing states, especially in recent times with inflation, gas prices, and general domestic tensions in the United States.

Thank you for the information

Parts of the world focus on the conflicts which are the most relevant to them and their culture. What about the Myanmar civil war,? The Armenian refugees? The Ethiopian tensions? And on and on and on. You can't be shocked and appalled 24/7.
