Sudan looks like it’s headed for civil war. The current conflict is centered around two generals, two men who are fighting over control of the countries’ future. But their battle has the potential to spiral into a civil war that could engulf the entire region.

    Being Sudanese I appreciate you educating people on this so much
  • @craftedbyorre
    As someone who’s not following the news, it’s great to have you Johnny explain the overall story of such events. Thank you!
  • @limb0xz
    I'm Sudanese and I'm so happy that an accurate telling of what's happening is reaching the YT audience. I can tell you've been speaking to Sudanese people when making this video. Peace for Sudan🙏
  • As a Sudanese, I'm impressed, emotional and grateful to see such a great work exploring what is happening in my country to the world ,, so people can understand the danger and suffering we're going through... thanks Sam, as always. Another informative piece of art ❤
  • @Jay-ehn
    My head chef is Sudanese and has his entire family in the city. The hurt in this man’s eyes when i unknowingly asked him how his family was is something unmistakeable. War touches and effects people farther than most imagine.
  • @jadzzzz
    You're one of the only channels to shine a light on the democratic movement when analyzing this. Too often it is ignored in the narrative. Very informative.
  • @idrisitogs
    My father is Sudanese. He said this was gonna happen in 2019, and here we are. A big part of his side of the family is still in Sudan, but they managed to escape from Khartoum in time. I hope everyone is gonna be okay.
  • @CactusAmigo
    As a Sudanese, I am really happy that you covered this topic. I emigrated to saudi in 2013 and when this conflict happened, my aunt (from my mother's side) and my uncle (from my father's side) where both in there. Alhamdulilah they both evacuated last week. My uncle went to Egypt and my aunt came to Saudi through port sudan. May Allah punish hemedti and give peace to the Sudanese people.
  • @emptyhad2571
    I’m a Sudanese and literary watch every single one of your videos but I never thought you would cover this. Thank you Johnny Harris ❤
  • @AndreDutraTV
    Dude I am always blown away by your editing. I’ve been watching for years and it’s always higher quality than what you see in most documentaries even. As someone who makes their own history videos I understand how much work you must put in on the editing. I’ve learned a lot from what you do, keep up the good work!
  • @jrvdl8
    Having travelled and worked in Sudan - my latest trip to Khartoum was last January, only months before the fighting started. I really appreciate this explanation and I've actually sent it to friends and family who were asking me for an explanation of the conflict. I would be very interested in a video specifically on the relationships between Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia, as they contest control over the Nile, especially with Ethiopia building that big dam now. Thanks for the great work Johnny!
  • @Indubb
    I think this was one of your best videos. I enjoy the subjects of the other videos like old maps more, but this really did educate about a complex situation. I didn't even realize it was this complex.
  • As an Eritrean, I wish peace to Sudan, Sudan has been our shelter and helper for us Eritreans since the time of the armed struggle
  • Thrilled to see you going back to your original video-making style! It's like a blast from the past and brings back all those incredible memories of why I fell in love with your content in the first place. Your unique approach and creativity always set you apart, and this return to your roots feels like a rejuvenation of that magic. Thanks for bringing back the essence that made us fans in the first place with this video
  • Thank you Johnny for shedding light on the current events in my country 🙏 I am a fan of your videos, keep up the great work!
  • Dude, you and your team is superb in making these educational videos. Nice to have such a short video with everything at hand! Love you for that
  • @Mu3azOsman
    Thank you for shining a light into a region that's often forgotten
  • As a Sudanese Who's been following your Amazing reports and currently inside of Sudan I'm feeling happy that you've really explained the conflict in a very accurate way Sudanese People Long for Peace And Prosperity Thank you ❤️🇸🇩
  • Impeccable timing. The news simply reports what is happening, a couple of days later Johnny releases a video telling us all about it. Great timing, great video, great channel.
  • Thanx alot mr. harris for this truthful, informative, non aligned and honest explanation of the Sudanese crisis. I'm Sudanese and you are my favourite youtuber . Your videos are mind blowing and your way of telling stories is matchless. God bless you Johnny
