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.
