If somebody that's been resting abroad still needs to rest again in Nigeria then the warring factions should rest 72hrs also

Meaning? So it's a sin to rest? Pls tell me does he need permission from you or obi or anyone before he can rest? Is he your servant or your houseboy that he can't rest as much as he want? Is he president yet, so what is the fuss about him resting or is that the new topic now?

Sorry Tinubu has his life to live if your obi chose to be walking around onitsha Town and market its his choice and right bro.

The side that seceded has no issues, South Sudan is a very peaceful Christian nation.
The problem has always been the northern Muslim Sudan, and they still remain a problem to themselves.

I watched a documentary on how every thing started in sudan,the problem dated since 2000..

And I know it is bound to escalate,the former civilian president created these whole issue because of his selfish interest.

Imagine creating,funding a different armed group,an independent armed group that don't take command from the countrys military...

Nobody should blame the west over what's happening in sudan.

Sudanese should seek refuge in either Somalia or kenya, because Nigeria is not better than Sudan at the moment.

The coming of escorbar and osama bin laden as the president select makes Nigeria the biggest prison and hellfire in the whole world.

One of the reasons why even if Nigeria separates, the status quo will persist. It has never been about north Vs south, Muslim Vs Christian or One tribe Vs another tribe.........It has always been about the elites Vs the masses..............in the struggle for resources..................

All these western countries that keep starting and funding wars so they can sell their weapons should remember that nothing lasts forever.

Oga, you should stop blaming others for one's problems

Sudanese people are not robots that are controlled by outsiders. They are human beings with independent thought and action

What is happening here is two men's big egos clashing. Nothing more, nothing less. No one external is involved. Infact, almost every country is screaming at them to stop.

Infact the last thing Ethiopia needs is a crisis in Sudan. On top of the internal issues it has.
You get strength to dy reason with folks who have already been brainwashed with Russian Propaganda ,that the war is about Russia wanting to set up a naval base in the red Sea... people can be so easily decieved, no waste your energy my brother

EXPLAINER: What's Happening in Sudan? (Burhan vs Hemedti)
~ Tosin Adeoti

Source: Facebook

Someone sent me a DM asking for an explainer on what is happening in Sudan in an easy-to-understand format. So here it is:

Why is everyone evacuating their citizens from Sudan?
Serious fighting is taking place in that country to the south of the Sahara.

How did they get here?
The two top generals in the country are fighting - Gen. Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan of the Sudanese army and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (known as Hemedti) of the Rapid Support Forces, RSF (a paramilitary group).

What? Do they not have a president to put them in check?
No, they ganged up to organize a coup to send their president away. In 2019, President Omar al-Bashir was ousted from power. Al-Bashir had been the longest-serving leader of Sudan since the country gained independence in 1956, and the people were just tired of him. He was a really corrupt guy. For instance, $130 million was found in his home. He even went to jail after the coup.

I see. So who is the Head of State?
Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan of the Sudanese army is the defacto leader. When al-Bashir was removed, the two groups formed a transitional coalition, called the Sovereign Council, together with civilian groups. A civilian, Abdalla Hamdok, was made Prime Minister. But two years later, in 2021, the two armed groups dislodged him when he asked for a full transition to civilian rule. The PM and multiple government ministers and officials were arrested.

LOL. Sounds familiar.
Not surprised. Gen. Burhan, the head of the army, became the leader, and Gen. Hemedti, the head of the paramilitary group, became his deputy.

Lemme guess...they are the ones fighting now?
That's right.

But how can a paramilitary challenge the army?
Because this paramilitary group called RSF is as powerful as the army. RSF used to have access to the National Intelligence and Security Services of Bashir when he was president. Hemedti, their leader, was Bashir's trusted man. Over the years, Hemedti has forged powerful ties both in the region and internationally. He sent RSF forces to fight Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen, allying with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. All for profit. Gen. Hemedti is considered one of the richest men in Sudan thanks to a range of businesses, including gold mining he had access to when Bashir was president.

Interesting. So what's causing their fight now?
In December 2022, after much pressure from the international community, a new transition plan to democracy was launched. A final deal was due to be signed this April, on the fourth anniversary of the overthrow of long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir. The RSF says the army does not want to absorb them into their midst. The army says it's not so simple and that they have a timetable for the absorption. There are reports that General Burhan is not happy that Hemedti is aligning himself more closely with civilian parties from whom the civilian president may come. Burhan says he supports the idea of returning to civilian rule but that he will only hand over power to an elected government. Hemedti says he's trying to remove himself from Islamist-leaning Bashir loyalists and veterans who have deep roots in the army. There is also the question of who will become the leader of the army after RSF has been integrated into the army.

But why did the army throw the first blow?
The Army said they had to stop RSF because they were deploying troops all over the country. Indeed, no sooner had the fight broken out on April 15 than RSF claimed they had seized the Khartoum airport, the presidential palace, as well as an airport and airbase in Merowe. The Sudanese army dismissed the claims as lies and maintained that it still controls all bases and airports.

Hmmm... what's the situation now?
As of 23 April, more than 420 people have been killed, and more than 3,700 injured, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The US State Department confirmed on 21 April that an American citizen was also killed. The US isn't taking any chances and has cleared out its embassy in the capital of Khartoum. Other countries, like France, Germany, Japan, and the UK, have also moved to evacuate their diplomats. Thousands of residents have fled using unsafe roads, many to their deaths.

What about Nigerians?
Over 5000 Nigerians are stranded in Sudan right now. Yesterday, the Federal Government said it is waiting for the Sudanese Government to give assurance before evacuating Nigerian students.

Which Sudanese government?
I'm not Nigeria's foreign minister, please.

So, no end in sight?
It doesn't look like the violence is going to end anytime soon. Sudan's army has reportedly said it won't negotiate with the paramilitary forces. Turkey, the US, UAE, Egypt, and others have called for immediate peace and offered to help mediate. Meanwhile, the UN called the situation in Sudan "catastrophic." Some aid groups have also had to postpone humanitarian aid to the country because of the violence. Experts are worried the conflict could turn into a civil war — which could threaten access to freshwater in the Nile, affect gold trade, and create another refugee crisis in the region.
A brilliant overview... These call for true concern globally because of the size of North Sudan and the fear of conflict weapons spreading into wrong hands in other nearby
African countries like the Libyan conflict did.

I can assure you that cease fire will not work....... All through history, America has not been know for peace making BUT war, supplying of weapons, color revolution and regime change, military industrial complex etc.
Infact America economy is based on war. military hardwares are the only product made by America for global consumption.

And I can also assure you that this war is a USA proxy war fought on Sudan for American hegemonic interest. War doesn't start by mistake.

Yes the southern part made a right choice but they are also not immune to crisis,most of the crisis in African countries is caused by forceful dominance suppression, oppression n discrimination, Even the present one in Sudan,if it's not one ethnic group against the others, it's one religion especially Muslims against other religions, I'm not a prophet of doom but I'm afraid to say that Nigeria is tilting dangerously towards her own catastrophe, the only solution to Africca's crisis is the acceptance of truth equity n justice.
