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:
After SSD left, war continued in the “new South” (Nuba and Blue Nile). SPLA sponsored Khartoum’s rebels and Khartoum sponsored Juba’s rebels. But politics and economics had changed.
