What is wrong with these devils?! The videos is clearly computer generated, but works. I found this on TikTok, or later when I logged into TikTok the video just started playing. These socials media websites make it virtually impossible to go in with blinders on...

@Chevdove The conflict in Sudan is not a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia. It is violent battle between two men who were once friends. However, both men fear the prospect of free elections in Sudan. Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhan is the Sudanese army general who has ruled Sudan since Omar al-Bashir was overthrown in a series of revolutionary protests in 2019. In August of that year, Burhan became head of the Sovereign Council and de facto ruler of Sudan. The Council was comprised of civilian and military leaders that were supposed to oversee a transition towards elections, according to a news report from Al Jazeera. But Burhan, who dissolved Council just two years later, is now opposed by his deputy, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who heads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Neither man wants free elections in Sudan. Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, was once an enforcer for Bashir, an Islamist and was considered a warlord. Burhan elicited help from Arab Gulf States to oust him and enjoyed good relations those nations. He even hosted Egypt’s president in Khartoum. The RDF are successors to the Janjaweed, the vicious bastards who massacred men and raped scores of women in Darfur. To help him take over Sudan, Dagalo also gets help from Gulf States and has turned to Russia’s Wagner Group who have been busily slaughtering Ukrainian civilians. But Warner Group also protects the ruler of the Central African Republic which supplies Russia with mined gold to pay for its invasion of Ukraine. Dagalo claims Wagner Group has departed Sudan. Sudan seems complicated. But it is not. It is simply a case of a vile Black man (Dagalo) who is perfectly willing to kill his own people for power, prestige and probably an expensive car or two. If you notice, a whole lot of White people have fled Sudan. Proof that Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhan at least ran a stable state so well that foreigners had little problem working and living there. What’s going to happen? Who knows? But the U.S. will not become ostensibly involved in this civil war owing to lingering memories of what happened in Libya when Obama was President. And there is little the average Black man in the U.S. can do, despite all the fulminating by some loudmouths who never knew about Wagner Group until I mentioned them. The situation is a damn shame: https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cq23pdgvgm8t/sudan To get a good handle on Sudan, one will have to check several news Websites, policy groups and think tanks.

You're welcome!

Mel Thank you for that valuable jewel!

@frankster Post links proving your points. All news forum posters elsewhere post links to prove their contentions. Neither are you in Sudan, nor do you have any inside information as part of the warring factions. So when you claim the two men were not friends, you need to prove it. Or you're just talking nonsense, which so many on this discussion group always do. Black Africans will not step in during the conflict in Sudan. They simply are unable to. Do you even understand the geography? Sudan and South Sudan are NORTH of the Sahara Desert. And no Black African nation possesses reliable airborne divisions to make the hop over that hot sand. That's the reason Black African nations sat on their haunches and never made any move to rescue Blacks being held as slaves in Libya soon after Moammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011. I remember all the nonsense about Nigeria and South Africa supposedly coming to the rescue of those enslaved Blacks at that time. It would have been a huge undertaking and a military coalition would have been needed. Naval ships would have had to have been docked offshore Libya to assist with the evacuation of slaves. Because no Black African nation can force march a mechanized military force through the Sahara. Look at a map! Black African nations did not do anything then and they will not do anything now. You are dreaming if you think otherwise. The reason why frontline African states endeavored to aid the African National Congress in its war of liberation against the Afrikaaners is because they did not have a huge natural obstacle to overcome. The Sahara Desert is not frigging joke. And friendship between the two generals does not mean they were sharing cocktails or going to clubs together. Black Americans are ignorant because they see everything through their eyes and only their experiences. Which is why we pay an inordinate amount of attention to celebrities and NBA playoff games. How quickly did many Blacks eat up the garbage about getting rich through Cryptocurrency? Burhan and Hemedti cooperated as they planned to divvy up the riches of Sudan, with each other and that was the extent of their friendship. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/5/16/sudan-to-break-the-cycle-of-violence-end-the-kleptocracy Depending upon where one derives their news, they were friends/rivals who were always suspicious of each other. But Hemedti was much worse than Burhan. You have no information and no one else on this discussion group has any either. They just make chit up and hope it flies. But they've been wrong so many times it's comical. But you notice they NEVER post any links? I do, which is proof that I have no fear of clowns. Here's proof the viciousness of Hemedti. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/20/sudan-outsider-hemedti-mohamed-hamdan-dagalo-leader-militia-army-war-conflict

The definition of a Black comic book can vary depending on individual perspectives and experiences. To me, a Black comic book is one that encompasses the Black experience, culture, and perspectives through storytelling and visual art.

well @Chevdove You say two things. Between Douglass side Garrison is one thing. Between Garrison and the "anti slavery movement" is another. I will start with Douglass and Garrison. What separated the two , philosophically? Douglass opposed slavery but he loved the USA, he was a firm federalist. Douglass was a huge supporter of involvement in government in the usa, for he thought the system of government in the usa is of a quality that it can improve itself to the betterment of all humanity. Sequentially, Douglass accepted the idea of gradualism. Garrison opposed slavery but he though the government of the usa, the federal government was purely dysfunctional. What do I mean by purely dysfunctional? Garrison's problem was deeper than elected officials, he felt advocacy to issues like abolistion or women's rights was impossible through government. To Garrison government didn't need time to change, and could change at any moment. That is the key to Douglass friction side Garrison. Garrison to the anti slavery moment is where the persecution to him comes from. Yes Garrison was anti slavery, or abolition. But, he opposed participation in the usa government or more importantly, the idea that the usa government is a positive institution. to him the usa federal government was a sham, and that is probably a nice word. So, all the anti slavery or abolition folks who wanted laws to change or legal systems to be molded despised him. He opposed partiality. He wanted women, all women, to have the full right to vote at the same time as all blacks. Again, the anti slavery or abolition folks who accepted the rights of black men to vote but not of women of any race to vote to him was a betrayal of supposed support for anti slavery. so those who accepted slavery in the confederate states or accepted inequality in rights opposed him. And he also was anti-jewish, he thought jews, any phenotype, are a people whose actions led and lead to their own downfall throughout history. And as the white jewish community became a huge financier of many non white male movements in the usa and added to their financing a pro jewish stance in organizations. so all together he had many detractors in movements during his life and even moreso after his life. Look at the black community in the year 2023. Black anti government folk, Black anti incrementalist, Black anti jewish folk are each minorities in the black community in the USA. But they exists. In defense of you, don't be confused, the truth is, the USA is a country of individualism. The main problem with individualism is by default it is anti group or collective. The best thing for Individualism is for individuals to relinquish group or collective affiliations. But in the usa, a government started by groups against groups, It can be argued that individualism is naturally dysfunctional in the usa. and that is part of what garrison meant. The USA government design can be argued is pro slavery by design. I am not suggesting I am supporting this idea fully but it has merit.

@Chevdovethis was for a different post but, media needs more quality:) that is 100% true, but that will require money and effort with little financial return
