Sudan's Unfinished Revolution Part 1: The Story Behind Sudan's Proxy War!

Описание: Today marks 2 years since the world's worst humanitarian crisis recorded began. The Sudanese proxy war, which started on April 15, 2023, has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis, with nearly 14 million people displaced. Over 9.6 million have been displaced within Sudan, and nearly 4 million have sought refuge in neighbouring countries. The conflict has led to a significant increase in deaths, with estimates suggesting a potentially much higher death toll than previously reported. Additionally, the war has caused widespread destruction, severely impacting infrastructure and essential services. 

Yet the routes of this tragic war go back to the unfinished Sudanese revolution that began in December 2018, a popular uprising in Sudan led by women that made global headlines and inspired activists worldwide. Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir was forced to step down. However, the rest of the Sudanese military refused to relinquish control, causing a power-sharing agreement with a transitional civilian government to collapse. But that wasn't enough for Sudan's army generals and the leaders of the largest paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who once again took control of the Sudanese state in a military coup. However, that was not the end of the torment for the Sudanese people but rather the start of a new, terrifying beginning, as tensions between the Sudanese Army and the RSF began to boil, culminating in a bloody fight for power that broke out on April 15, 2023.

African Stream's CEO and Founder, Ahmed Kaballo, filmed this documentary in 2020 and released it in 2021, years before the conflict broke out. But the documentary touches on the conditions that led to this terrible war that has caused so much misery for the people of Sudan. Please watch and give us your thoughts.
