The War
Sudan's North and South have long fought a civil war that has devastated the country and taken the lives of several million Sudanese.
Differences of race, tribe and religion, as well as exploitation of the South's natural resources and unequal development are all major issues driving Southerners to choose separation from their Northern brothers.
At the same time, the fundamental causes of wars continue to be hidden and mystified.
Former President Joe Biden declared that "the tragic violence in Sudan is inconceivable and must stop".
He thereby erased a fact, when he was Vice President of the Obama Administration, he was a major architect of the US strategy that fueled the war in Sudan to split the country in two.
Thus, the artificial state of South Sudan, possessing 75% of Sudanese oil reserves, was born in 2011. This fact resulted in the further extension of internal conflicts and external interference for the control of the Sudanese region, which is important because it is rich in oil, natural gas, gold, and other raw materials, and because it has a key geostrategic position on the African continent.
