Situation in #Sudan and what it means for #SouthSudan.🧵
What we are witnessing today are death throes of unequal country. Dr John Garang once said, pain of disenfranchisement and war is unknown in the north until war comes to them and there is fighting in streets of Khartoum.

For my #SouthSudanese readers the simplest background to the current war in #Sudan is this:

In #SouthSudan wars since 2012 caused havoc economically forcing J1 to pressure their pets to sue for peace with North #Sudan which Juba, without irony, sponsored.
Khartoum did the same forcing SSD rebels to sign peace with Juba. Along the way Bashir was toppled by populous.
