After years of civil conflict, broken ceasefires, and failed transitions, the country is now on the verge of division, as two competing governments, each claiming legitimacy, dig in further across the country.

What began as a power struggle between two military chiefs has now evolved into a war for Sudan’s spirit and structural integrity.

As of August 2025, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), had established parallel administrations in opposing sections of the nation.

Their conflict has divided Sudan politically, geographically, and socially.

History of conflict
Sudan’s political turmoil is not new. Since achieving independence from British Egypt on January 1, 1956, the country has experienced several military coups, ethnic bloodshed, and long-lasting civil conflicts.

Two lengthy north-south battles, lasting 1955-1972 and 1983-2005, eventually led to South Sudan’s separation in 2011, which many anticipated would usher in peace.

Sudan’s status remained uncertain under Omar al-Bashir, who took power in a 1989 coup and reigned until 2019.

His rule was known for war crimes, notably in Darfur, where violence resulted in hundreds of thousands of fatalities and forced displacement, and he was eventually charged by the International Criminal Court.

In April 2019, a popular uprising deposed Bashir, paving the way for a civilian-military transitional government.

However, this fragile arrangement collapsed in October 2021, when General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan led a coup, dissolved the Sovereignty Council, and arrested civilian leaders, including Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.

Although RSF commander Hemedti originally supported the coup, tensions quickly grew between him and Burhan, primarily over power allocation and the controversial topic of merging the RSF into the national armed forces, fueling widening divides.

By April 2023, their resentment had escalated into a full-blown war. The RSF and SAF battled in Khartoum, soon transforming the city into a battleground.

Heavy artillery, airstrikes, and urban combat decimated the city.

In July 2025, the RSF announced the creation of a “presidential council” to administer the territory it controls. It also began writing a new constitution, thereby establishing a breakaway government in all but name.

The RSF has set up administrative institutions, collected taxes, and built tribal alliances across Darfur and central Sudan.

In contrast, al-Burhan’s SAF-led administration maintains international legitimacy and diplomatic support from Egypt and certain Gulf states.

It operates out of Port Sudan, administering exile ministries and maintaining links with the United Nations and the African Union.

However, neither side has a clear military advantage, and both are now entrenched, resulting in a divide similar to Libya’s, with rival national narratives and state institutions.

A growing humanitarian disaster
Civilians have suffered greatly as a result of this split. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), approximately 10 million Sudanese have been displaced, making it one of the world’s worst displacement crises (UN OCHA, 2025).

Many people have fled to Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt, resulting in regional instability and overcrowded refugee camps. Inside Sudan, essential services have crumbled.

Famine is coming, particularly in Darfur, where both armed groups and ethnic militias have targeted people.

In July alone, humanitarian activities in the Upper Nile, Jonglei, Unity, Western Equatoria, and Central Equatoria were still significantly impacted by access restrictions brought on by the fighting. Attacks against aid workers, criminal activity, and the confiscation of aid assets were among the 60 access events that were documented.

Particularly in Juba Central Equatoria, where aid workers were the targets of three kidnappings, including requests for ransom and violent robberies, there was a notable increase in criminal activity directed at humanitarian personnel and institutions.

In Jonglei and Central Equatoria, armed groups assaulted UN contractors, injuring people and causing damage to infrastructure, notably the Kandila Bridge project, according to reliefweb.

What’s at stake with the potential Sudan split?
The most alarming effect is that Sudan may never reunite. If present trends continue, the nation may irreversibly fracture, following in the footsteps of failed states like Yemen, Syria, and Libya, which had numerous administrations, militias, and foreign patrons.

This would be Sudan’s second significant secession in recent history, dealing a catastrophic blow to ambitions to create a unified African state.

The ramifications would spread throughout the Horn of Africa and the Arab world, disrupting economic lines, migrant flows, and regional diplomacy.

Sudan’s civil society and democratic voices, which were so lively during the 2019 revolution, have been mostly muffled in the current crisis.

I heard the man also made a radio transmitter and is transmitting live

Jeezuzpick:
He put calcium carbide in the water.

It produces ethyne (acetylene) gas, which mixes with oxygen at the burner, is ignited, and burns.

This is used by welders and panel-beaters all.over the world.

Maybe he is using the principle of a biodigester.

oga which Benin in Anioma?
As for Igala they have just one local government which is really irrelevant,same with the Yoruba who are even recent migrants,during the war it was fought by Igbo people there wasn’t even Anioma then,the location of the war and the people who fought the war isn’t even an argument unless you just want to be ignorant

okpouman:
The ekumeku was not fought by the mainstream Igbo but by the anioma,which is a mixture of Igbo, Edo and igala elements.

okpouman:
The Zulus resistance was more noted,the Kikuyu resistance was more like a protest riot it wasn't really WAR.

Most of the Nigerian tribes corporated with the British or were easily defeated.

It was mostly the very small minority tribes that resisted the British, albeit due to their size they could not have huge impact, most of the larger tribes like the Yorubas, Hausa-fulani, mainstream Igbo,Nupe,igala,jukun,efiks etc either capitulated easily or corporated with the British,

The Edo did not corporate with the British but we're easily defeated, the anioma,esan,somorika,bahumono,igede were the main groups that really fought the British and drew blood,felling many of the British officers and infantry.

The major tribes till today are coons,they are so subservient to the British and to whites in general yet funnily they brag the most about being fathom warriors and have the loudest mouths.

Hello friends in Nigeria, I am from China, I learned from the media that Nigeria is the most economically powerful country in Africa, is this really the case?

samunaka:
What has that got to with Atiku, Jonathan will only split the votes for Tinubu and Obi, Atiku is no longer in PDP, this is a real warning shot for Tinubu

KillahPriest:
He's not eligible to contest and you all know it

ncpat:
I don't think this will happen because if he loses, it will dent his image.

Gistsnaijamedia:

No way water will power a stove. The only way to generate energy from water is to break down the water into oxygen and hydrogen gas and then use the hydrogen to generate energy. Meanwhile, you still need a tremendous amount of energy to split the water into these two components.

Why didn't you attack Kenya?

That's exactly the same reasons the white people have to keep black SA people on their sights

Anyways.. white power doesn't attack nor keep guard of those they can easily put under their control. The Middle East is a good example...they will never give them the same space to breathe as Africa...they constantly have to bomb or disrupt them and keep the region in turmoil because they know if they are left alone they'll surely make them pay ; they have the resources and the fighting spirit to come for Europe .

After the Zulus defeated the British in the battle of Isandlwane ...that's when the British knew they wouldn't be able to rule "SA "from Europe like the other African countries ,they had to establish not a colony but a settler colony with a full army and government in what became South Africa. Kenya was also a partial settler colony.

Again, the oldest liberation party in Africa is the ANC . It just so happens to be South African, and the reason why white people had to have nuclear weapons to keep the black people down in South Africa till 1994.

Again....white power can never spend so much money ,energy or power on a people they don't care about nor have fear for .

South Africa was the first country they invited among other Africans when they started the G20 nations in 1999....do you think it's because they like the black SA government? Nope! They want to have them where they can watch them closely . Keep your enemies closer they say .South Africa was recently invited as guests in the G7 gathering in Canada even with all the hate from Tan-trump...the sheer audacity to go after Israel against the wishes of America once again put black SA on the sights of White supremacist who are now once more charging at the very SA with threats of sanctions and all.

And lastly ,those who are resisting the dominance of the West and the dollar: BRICS which Africans people did they invite first to join them in their fight ?

Softmirror that's for you too

gr8ofnnetwork:
They are still under the same rulership till tomorrow. A country whose 80% land (over 1.22million KM²) is owned by the Muzumgus. 80-90% of their wealth, resources, politics, economy is controlled by the same people they claimed to have "resisted". Nigeria may be challenging but the fact that I have a nation I call my own, I have some pieces of land to my name, resources are can be proud of made be feel fulfilled.
Just checking TikTok you will weep for those black SA people. Reasons they resort to Xenoph

If given another chance to come back to this world, will you choose any of these again?

(a) Your country.

(d) Your tribe.

motymop:
When the British came to Africa, they encountered several tribes that resisted colonization with intense brutality. Interestingly, the British often developed a certain level of admiration or respect for groups that put up a fierce fight even if those tribes were eventually defeated.

Take the Zulus, for example. They went all out against the British, engaging in multiple battles that made Shaka Zulu a legendary warrior-king. His fearless leadership earned the respect of both his people and his enemies. Even today in South Africa, the Zulu monarchy remains one of the most respected traditional institutions.

Another example is the Kikuyus of Kenya. They fiercely opposed British presence during the Mau Mau Uprising, a major revolt that played a key role in pushing the country toward independence. The resistance was so impactful that, in 2013, the British government issued a formal apology for its role in the brutal suppression of the rebellion.

In contrast, while there were pockets of resistance in Nigeria, none were as sustained or as intense as the Zulu or Kikuyu struggles. This may partly explain why many Nigerian tribes didn’t command the same level of reluctant respect from the British.

Resistance came at a price but in the eyes of the colonizers, those who fought back often earned a lasting legacy.

If the COALITION stands at the polls, it's game over for the greatest curse, disgrace, abomination and CALAMITY to befall this Country called Tpain.

It's 12m votes for ADC already.
Perhaps NIJA will be free from this total FAILURE called Tpain.

gentlekeny:
A tragic double murder rocked the Middleburg community early Monday morning after authorities say a 14-year-old boy shot and killed his parents during a domestic dispute.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene just after midnight following a chilling 911 call from the teenager, identified as Trevor Lee.

Sheriff Michelle Cook said Lee called authorities to report that he had shot his parents and was surrendering himself at a local church.

Deputies quickly located and took him into custody without incident.

When deputies arrived at the family's residence near Silver Point and County Road 220, they discovered the bodies of 44-year-old David Lee and 45-year-old Brandi Smith inside the home.

Both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Preliminary investigations indicate the shooting was the result of an argument between the teen and his parents late Sunday night.

What is Trevor Lee charged with?
Sheriff Cook said the weapon used belonged to the family and was left at the scene.

“There is no further threat to the community,” Sheriff Cook reassured during a morning press briefing. “We do want to extend our deepest sympathies to the family, the friends, and all of those who are affected by this heartbreaking incident.”

Authorities are now delving into Trevor Lee’s background, including his mental health history and school records, as they work to piece together what led to the fatal altercation.

He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder. Sheriff Cook urged anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation remains active as the community mourns the devastating loss of two lives in what officials are calling one of the most heartbreaking cases they've encountered.

Man killed by wife and brother-in-law
In another case of domestic violence gone wrong, Edward Kateule was allegedly beaten to death by his wife and brother-in-law.

Abigail Namwelu, aged 44, and her brother, Mutale Alex, descended on the 69-year-old man in the dead of the night and ended his life.

The brutal assault, fueled by alcohol and rage, left Kateule's body bloodied and broken in their home.

Factcheck0001:
Top of the hour to you wherever you are reading this, in the last election Peter obi used the mantra "go and verify" and this was said so people can fact check what he did for good 8 years as governor of anambra state.

We have gone to verify and today we gladly give your the results of the verification.

Nteogwuija:
I don't understand when people say certain man or men made another governor or president. It sounds as though we don't have an electoral process in this country.

I seriously do not understand Nigerians.

It's alright to say someone supported another but saying one person made another is a total disregard to our electoral system.

VinnyBaba:
When Tinibu and his band of ACN Rogues were planning Evil against Jonathan a Southerner,
where they not traitors?

AMINDA:
In the Southwest, anyone that dares to chart a pathway for himself will be immediately termed a betrayer and the full weight of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machinery unleashed upon them. Case studies abound. Ambode, Fashola, Fayemi, Sanwo-olu, Osinbajo, etc. Dear Yorubas, after Tinubu, who would be your next leader? No, don't say you will cross the bridge when you get there. Who's Tinubu's successor(s)?

Kwankwaso went against Buhari and decamped out of the APC yet no Northerner calls him a betrayer or traitor. Northern politicians are strategically placed in every major political party and heads or tail, the North will be ably represented.

tanigororo:
Oh, I see.

I am not surprise this is coming from this Man, he hate Muslims and Islam with Passion.

kingbee90:
Agbadorians are only concerned about Tinubu being re-elected back to office despite his awful performance while a foreign religion is taking over their aboriginal culture and traditions.
The only time they speak about their culture & heritage being threatened is when they shout that "the Igbos want to take over Awa Lagos".

Jobless people
