Sudan's conflict explained in 5 minutes: ‘Lawlessness on the streets of Khartoum’
726,264
Published 2023-04-21
The unabated fighting has killed hundreds and tipped Africa's third-largest country - where around a quarter of people already relied on food aid - into a humanitarian disaster.
Instead of a ceasefire, the army has entered a new phase, fighting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the ground, after having stuck largely to air strikes across the capital, with fiercer clashes in central Khartoum, since the power struggle erupted.

To sum up short, this is a fight between 2 dictators. None of them is a good choice for Sudan.
-
This guy is amazing at explaining and very knowledgable. Whoever he is, give him a raise
-
This is sad. In the end it's ordinary people who suffer 😢
-
Thanks. Finally someone explained it in a form that the uninitiated can understand. Not making it an east or west situation. As an African, I know it is so often an internal solution sought by the indigenous....and usually promoted by greed and power!
-
This is the kind of videos I want to see from The Telegraph, very good report.
-
Superb, clear, concise, balanced and understandable explanation. I have never managed to grasp a conflict as easy as this. The telegraph need to give this guy a raise. More of him please.
-
As soon as I heard GOLD that was enough to understand what is happening
-
I’m Sudanese, this is an excellent summary.
-
Oh well, what can I say. As an Ethiopian, I'm sick & tired of militants fighting for power for the last half century in that neighborhood. Viscous cycle of violence. Lack of rule of law, making it easy for folks with guns to take over power. What a shame.
-
In minimum 5 minutes I finally understand what's going on Sudan.

Himeti or Degalo is guilty of genocide against over half a million people in Darfur. The International Court of Justice also condemned him. Now he is committing his cruel deeds against the Sudanese people. The international community should condemn it.
-
The most balanced explanation from western media and the closest to the truth.
-
A struggle between two men: the book title for every war in history.
-
Complicated, but some things are very clear: Outsiders are manipulating in hopes of gaining access to Sudan's natural resources and use the country as a strategic location for their own military bases.
-
Finally someone saying the truth, that is a rich country and the west wants a piece of the prize. My heart hurts for my country. It is rich with resources yet most live under the poverty line. The sudanese people are amongst the kindest and most generous people on earth, and this is the way their government, lawless militias and the west treats them 😢
-
very good report 👍🏻 warm greetings from sudan 🙋♂️
-
This man made 5 minutes seem like 30 he crammed so much information into this 5 min video its crazy
-
I'm glad a held my peace until the end. Excellent reporting 👏 👍
-
Thanks for explaining the conflict in crisp and clear way. Sheer madness. Ego of two people makes millions suffer.
-
Excellent explainer here. Hope to get more of these.
