I wrote papers on both conflicts this semester… Right now I’m fundraising with doctors without borders, we go door to door and try to convince people to donate monthly so the civilians can get basic supplies and healthcare. To try and run the shelled and closed hospitals. To assist mothers in labour, giving birth to children that would have heard the war from the womb. They know nothing else.

Both of the generals in Sudan are terrible people, and their personnel is tainted by the blood of many ethnic cleansing missions.

I see international and regional powers picking sides. It sickens me. Nobody of sane mind, on the ground, in Sudan, wants either of these monsters to head the country.

Those civil wars are horrible indeed. No need to taint the news with comments which are polarising like “black & white”, or last century rhetoric imo. Death will take us all. Also, to quote a little part from the article, and to give a bit of depth and balance to some of the comments:

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the number of wars fell sharply. So, too, did the estimated number of deaths in battle. But after 2011 came a third wave. Both the number of wars and their deadliness increased, as the Arab spring led to conflagrations in the Middle East, a new form of jihadism spread across the Muslim world and Vladimir Putin resurrected old-fashioned Russian imperialism.
