There are more than 30 war conflicts going on right now, most of which are actually civil wars like Sudan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Mali, DR Congo, Haiti, Syria, Lybia, Iraq, Burkina Faso you name it. I would also include here Mexican Drug Wars, war in Ukraine and Russia and Israel war in Gaza. Such level of conflicts both on casualties and scale have not seen since WW2. Thank you for covering Sudan War which the World is Ignoring.

As a Kenyan it's difficult to believe that all this carnage is happening in a 'neighbouring' country😅our country is being troubled by a Fertilizer Fraud deal while our neighbours are barely surviving.

I went to university in 2014 with a man who is now leading a militia in South Sudan with a mission to "take the heads of his enemies." He had been a child soldier, and I really liked him, until I realized he actually was quite serious, and actually went back, and sent me lots of pictures.

The censorship of KZfaq has gotten ridiculous. Saying a word is not condoning the action.

I'm Sudanese This is probably the most accurate video I've seen that covers "our story" well, going back decades to its roots. Thank you very much mister, I'm glad your channel popped up in my feed. Just a simple note: Yes, the SAF has its dark side over the past decades, due to the brutal killing and genocide i should say, towards certain tribes in Darfur, and that was due to our country being governed by a vicious dictator, Al-Bashir, who claims he is "islamic", but none of his 30 years in charge says anything about Islam. As you said, in his brutal endeavour in Darfur, he used RSF. Back then they weren't known as RSF, they didn't have a "uniform", they weren't related to the government. Al Bashir gave them weapons, made them governmental, gave their leader Hemedti open ties with UAE and KSA in their war against Yemen, which brought nothing but despair to the Yemeni people. RSF since the beginning of the war, forced us to leave our homes in the capital Khartoum, looted our homes, literally taking everything, even the spoons and bed sheets. They are known rapists, and by the way they tend to film each other doing war crimes, there are actual videos of them raping women, staying in our houses, and even bring their families to live in our houses. IT'S ALL FILMED, THEY THEMSELVES FILM THIS. I'm sorry for the long comment, I just want to stress the fact that RSF will never establish a country, and one of our mottos in out revolution in 2019 we said: "To their barracks the military shall return. To be completely dismantled, shall the Janjaweed". The Janjaweed is the real name of RSF. They are nothing but a coward militia, hiding from our army the SAF, by staying in our homes. Almost all of the Sudanese stand with the army, a few are neutral, but none of us, stand with RSF.

sad that you can't even say the word 'rape' when reporting and quoting it, what a weird world we live in.

I am sudanese and all I can do now is pray my whole me and my dad and mom have not been in sudan when the war started but the rest of my family was and were forced to go to egypt

Tbh. Besides Israel-Hamas and Israel-Iran. Most conflicts around the world, are not spoken of or completely ignored and forgotten. Ukraine-Russo war isn’t even on mainstream coverage anymore, Myanmar never went mainstream coverage, Azerbaijan-Armenia ethnic clash never went mainstream, Chads insurgents as well, Congos many ethnic skirmishes, Indonesia and Malaysia jihadist conflicts and even Mexican Cartel skirmishes. For the common person, it’s honestly hard to keep up with such; since it does not entirely affect their day-to-day lives.

World Leader “What’s going on out there?” Aide “We’ll know once Simon uploads his next Warographics”

I was in Sudan for a month almost 10 years ago now and it was amazing mostly because of the people, this is just heartbreaking.

Simon's forcefully sucking in air every few seconds makes me anxious. He needs to chill so that I can too 😂

With even Ukraine struggling to get some attention, it's difficult to see the world talking about Sudan.

I just wanted to thank you and everyone on your team for these videos. Not only are they very well done and informative, but they’re also interesting. They are also quite important since they bring light to conflicts like this one, and others like the Tigray war for example. Way too many people have suffered and died directly from these tragedies for the entire world to seemingly not know or care about them at all. Thank you again for all you guys do! And RIP to all the victims of these senseless wars

Reminds me of Haiti. It’s not that people are ignoring it, it’s just that no one is talking about it or trying to spread the word. Looking at you News channels…

Some additional info, the RSF are the former janjaweed loyal to Bashir. They entered Khartoum during the civil revolution and killed around 100 protesters. The SAF entered the city and a deal was struck as the rsf were already embedded, it was appeasement. RSF refused to integrate pre elections resulting in the current war.

This has been happening since at least 2016. My buddy guarded the embassy there, alot of bad things would happen just outside the wall and he wasn't allowed to do anything because the US did not want to pick a side.

Complicated is certainly the right way to describe this, and the war being an ongoing disaster is how I would describe it. I am glad somebody is still trying to bring some attention to this.

People naturally ignore things that aren’t relevant to them.

Most people: "Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?" World leaders: "Shh. Watch your sports and stop worrying so much about things."

The issue with alot of these african conflicts is both sides (or more often 10's of sides/competing factions) regularly commit genocide, mass r*pes etc. Which makes it very difficult to help any side even if is just delivering food aid civilians under their area of control.

It does not matter how many powers are going to get sucked into it, almost nobody outside of Sudan is emotionally attached to any of the fighting parties or victims.

Great that you are covering this... the silence on this matter is crazy.

Bless you for bringing this to the world's attention; to the extent anyone will care. Haiti, Myanmar, the list is too long.

Absolutely love your work Simon keep it up!

Conflicts like this are like quicksand, you stick your toe in trying to help, then get quickly sucked into a quagmire.

Madness. I attempted to listen to this while cooking but I can’t give it the full attention it needs like this. Great episode - I will listen again while lying down rather

MMy husband is Ethiopian/Eritrean and was born in Sudan in 1983. His beautiful most amazing mother delivered him in a prison (she was caught leading Christian Bible studies) By late 1989 they were finally able to make it to America. They don’t talk about it much in detail, mentioning only occasionally the communist party or the famine. They prefer concentrating on the present, living their best lives here in the States. So I struggle to understand the details and time line on my own, and unfortunately after watching this video I’m more confused than I was before watching it. 😵‍💫

Simon I just want to say I appreciate you and your team. You are my news channel. It now biased it's formative it's well written out your Grammer is amazing even though you say a lot of the words I do not understand and that's ok. You may talk about dark and horrible things but your channeled across the board bring light to my day and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos

The optimist in me hopes that this video makes a positive impact The pessimist in me wonders if a series on top conflict locales for adventurers to eat before the location is catered wouldn't achieve the same. Thanks Simon for keeping the optimistic candle lit

The PBS Newshour in the US has been giving this some coverage over the last year, with more frequent stories recently.

Thanks Simon! This is great journalism

Thank you for covering this.

You give great information. Keep it up, you do good work!

Thank you, so much, for making your content. On behalf of the world, bless you.

Thanks for sharing this! Currently dealing with family stuck back home and banks are closed, can't send money or anything literally! Have to be savvy and workaround these issues so people can barely survive! Thanks again!!

Thank you for covering our conflict even though almost nobody cares, even Sudanese people themselves are starting to forget (the ones outside the country). Should've uploaded this yesterday on the 1 year anniversary of the war

Puppet masters all over Africa, my empathy is with the women and children who ultimately suffers the most during wartime.

Great video as usual! Wargraphics does some top-notch work.

Well done! I think it's important for whoever has the wherewithal to remind the world that there are still other places in the world that deserve some attention. And it often happens that these other places are experiencing crises that sometimes make those covered in prevailing narratives pale in comparison. War is indeed hell, wherever it occurs. But it's true that there are powder kegs (like the situation in Sudan) that could affect wider regions and eventually world powers in ways most people would never expect. Cheers!

I’m surprised Sudan hasn’t ceased to exist yet

4:17 his ppl are starving and he got all gold and glitters

Thank you so much for covering this. It is so well appreciated.

Thank you, Simon and team.

Legit question - if all the factions involved are monsters, what's the best thing for a very powerful outside country with a checkered history in such situations to do?

Cracking job Simon 🤙

Excellent Chanel. Thank you to Simon and your staff.

Thank you Simon for bringing to light all you cover

The two waring factions aren’t popular and evil with the Sudanese. They are screwed either way.

Thanks for covering this. One tragedy of the internet is how it hollowed out journalism and incentivized clickbait. Probably still wouldn’t get coverage, but it’s spooky how something like this is just invisible.

Hey ! Thanks Tons for all this information. Well done.. fast and efficient

Thank you Simon and Team for covering the conflict that no one else will.

I think the underlying problem here is the fact that Sudan has been in a state of continuous civil war since its very inception 70 years ago. Its the norm for that region.

Someone adjusted the compression on your vocals. Your inhales are far more amplified than normal.

Thank you so much for giving an update on this. For the last year I keep praying for Sudan, knowing that the news is not being read by many people around the world. Even if the world forget, God sees every person and we need to care about all the innocent civilians. Though it is indeed difficult to see how we can help with the political situation from the outside.

thanks i enjoy these kinds of videos. an honest attempt at observations and interpretations.

Simon, truly I appreciate the way you keep everyone aware of what’s going on in the world. I don’t know who writes your post but to start out like we should all be wringing our hands, freaking out about the Sudan. They have been in one form of conflict or another for the last 70 years, you could drop 10 billion dollars and 80 cargo ships of food and it would change the country one bit. I’m about to turn 50 this week and I can’t remember a time when the Continent of Africa wasn't on the border of some conflict, genocide, famine etc. I can almost tell you how this is going to play out, china is going to offer high interest loans to whoever is in power for mineral rights, land, water what have you, the country won’t be able to pay it back and they will lose everything and if it’s not the Chinese then it will be the Russians. This reminds me of the video you did about Haiti, it's been a screwed up situation and it will continue to be a screwed up situation. I hate to come off as a mean person but I frankly don’t care anymore. Nothing has changed

When i was coming home from Tanzania Africa I met a gentleman from Sudan who was heading to Arizona who got a full ride scholarship and told me that his country has never seen moments where they're not killing one another and struggling for food and water..He said ever since he was little, its all hes ever known. He didnt even know how to open his meal on the plane and his face seeing the food he was served.. It broke my heart, he said he was chosen out of 15,000 applications...

Thank you for covering this war, I hate how so many conflicts, especially in the global south, is ignored in media.

Thank you for this amazing video❤

Can the sound mixer please scoop out the EQ of the sound of Simon’s quick little breaths, they are so loud it’s almost like they’re emphasised.

All Sudan has know since independence is Civil War, Strife, and ethnic conflict. It’s really depressing.

Thank you for this video and raising the awareness about Sudan.

Great video. Thanks for covering.

Is it possible to get a list of sources you used? I want to read into this further because I have not really heard about this conflict before.

I just hope Sudan finds peace and freedom.

Just came across your channel. Wow! Very interesting and informative.

Glad you brought this to the forefront! No one is talking about it at all!

I’ve been praying for the Sudanese people!

My country is burning, my country is dying. This war started about a year ago and I was in Sudan a month before it started. Never did I imagine this would happen. Never did Sudan ever experience something like this. Our once beautiful capital city Khartoum is nothing but rubble and dust, Darfur is a sea of blood, and Al-Jazeera is in a never ending nightmare of rape and torment. My people don’t deserve this. They don’t deserve to be gunned down or raped or have their homes converted into military barracks. Never forget - the UAE is killing us. THE UAE IS KILLING THE SUDANESE PEOPLE.

Thanks for covering this.

Thankyou for your work, i was not aware as to this conflicts extent

The fact that this channel has to censor itself just to be able to explain what’s happening IS the problem. The fact that the broader world is too sensitive to be able to talk about rape and murder happening is the problem that allows it to continue

Thank you for making this video

Simon the only one doing news right, along with Liam and etc

I pray for my country ☹️❤️

Imagine living in a country where every nation have a hand to gain from giving a warlord weaponry to fuck up your day to day.

Thanks for your truthful information ❤

Once you start hearing Simon’s sharp inhales, you can never un-hear them.

I haven't been this early since Simon had hair

Sometimes I think about the South African law team literally flying over Sudan on their way to the UN to fight for Gaza. I’m glad they did it for Gaza.. but why not say something on behalf of their own African Union member? We don’t hear about it because no news outlets or NGOs are allowed in at all.

Thank you for this. It is confusing and I wish I saw a way to end it peacefully.

Subscribed. Excellent channel

Lot of videos of Sudan conflict even in my history list, some from big channels, about "war everyone is ignoring". It doesn't receive the attention to scale of the conflict, but its bad actors, against bad actors, against bad actors. There is no good solution and no intervention possible without massive cost, conflict with foreign countries participating in it, casualties and disapproval of locals and world alike

ngl I totally forgot these guys were fighting all this time

Thank you Simon and team of amazing writers and researchers...thanks for being our history teachers. My kids aren't learning about this in school.

Thanks for raising awareness about this

I don’t hear about Syria (that has probably killed the most people this century) or Libya (or what’s happening with their food/dam issue) either

For people who wonder how the rawanda genocide went by with out a hiccup.... Stories like these make me realiser how... Especially pre internet..

Informative and very thorough, well presented Great source of knowledge concerning Sudanese conflict 🙏👍

Excellent reporting

Dealing with antisemitic people calling what's happening in Israel a tragedy, but when you ask them what they think about sudan or Myanmar they give this blank stare. They don't care about people they just want to be perceived to care and to feel good about themselves.

the war in Sudan sounds like an Ubisoft plotline except it's real...

Appreciate the knowledge 💪

Thanks for speaking on this conflict.

The Russo Ukrainian war is worth our attention because its impact sends economic shockwaves around the globe. Ukraine is a large food exporter, and Russia is a large exporter of many things. The Russo-Ukrainian war will affect your life. The Israel Gaza war will not affect your life, economically, because the Gaza Strip produces almost nothing of value. But the Muslims and Jews killing each other is something a lot of people feel invested in. The Sudanese civil war isn’t that economically significant to the powers that matter, and the reality that both sides are equally scum generals fighting to preserve their power makes it hard to empathize with either side.

It't not that we ignore, is that we can't keep up with the skirmishes, civil wars, wars, gang wars, and all the different types of conflicts in the world. I'm a paramedic, do you really think I get home and think "I'll tune on youtube to see more violence and human suffering" or "I need to try to sleep more than 3hrs"

Solid video

You're great outstanding and constant accomplishment is valuable, hope to humanity betterment and it's unforgettable, I'm impressed these video and you dedicated courage for bringing the attentions to those who are caught of conflicts and crisis in forgetted countries, like Sudan, DRC, Somalia, and Haiti You're the voice of voiceless Simon, thank you so much.

Nobody’s talking about it because this just seems to be business-as-usual for Sudan, let alone most of Africa. That country has had at least three civil wars since the 1950s, and that’s not mentioning constant tribal conflicts and international conflicts with its neighbors. It’s sad, but most people just expect Sudan to be tearing itself apart in a genocidal war when anyone hears about it, because it usually is.
