Sudan Pt.3: Civil War & Genocide

This week on Conflicted, Thomas and Aimen continue their
exploration into the history of Sudan, focusing on two areas of the
country which we’ve left off so far – but which have been hugely
influential to the country’s story: Darfur and South Sudan. Both
these areas were brutalised during Sudan’s 20th century history,
and for remarkably different reasons. But it all comes back to the
hegemony of Sudan’s ruling Three Arab Tribes – the tribes who have
fixed the country’s course to conflict and caused the separatism
which has long abounded in the country. In this third part of our
Sudan mini-series, Thomas and Aimen take us through how these two
regions faired as they tried to cut their own path against the
ruling Arab elite, and the destruction they were met with, from
forced Islamisation in the South, to the horrific genocide
perpetrated in Darfur in the early 2000s. These events proved the
brutal nature of the Sudanese ruling elite, and can tell us a huge
amount about the conflict going on there today. New Conflicted
