Fighting broke out on April 15th between two power factions in Sudan: the army and the largest paramilitary force. Sadly, hundreds, if not thousands of people have already been killed.

To understand the current situation, we must go back to the 30-year reign of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, the former strongman of Sudan. Al-Bashir created two rival military factions to balance each other out. However, the leaders of both groups conspired together to overthrow al-Bashir in 2019. Now they are fighting each other.

Today we talk about the history of Sudan and the problems that plague most African countries.

Looks like Georgia is turning into a global hotspot.. again. Protesters took to the streets in opposition to a foreign registration bill introduced by Georgia's ruling party. The bill would require that entities receiving more than 20 percent of funding from abroad register and explain their funding source. Which brings up the real question, is this a legit way to curb foreign influence or a means of media oppression. 

Today we debate the issue in addition to dissecting US and Russian influence strategies in different countries.
