Sudanese returnees are coming home to cities still scarred by war, where destroyed infrastructure, unreliable services, and fragile security shape daily life.

The year 2025 was defined by escalating wars, military aggressions, anti-war protests, elections and various scandals, with the genocide in Gaza dominating the headlines.

In this episode, we will explore the war in Sudan, its historical roots and the reasons behind its outbreak.

Sudan’s war is a proxy struggle driven by global powers exploiting its gold, ports, and geography—continuing colonial and imperial agendas while ordinary Africans suffer devastating consequences.

Sudan marked the 71st anniversary of its Armed Forces and a century since the army’s founding with grand celebrations in Omdurman.

Sudan deserves the same urgency and outcry that we give to other war-ravaged places – to make it clear to world governments and capitalist corporations that their complicity in the ongoing genocide will not be masked by glitz, glamour, or diplomatic niceties.

The United Nations Security Council has voiced “alarm” at mounting violence in Sudan, as the ongoing civil war in the country has displaced over seven million civilians.
