Synopsis

Sudan Explained: A Short History of Civil War, Fragmentation, and Why Sudan Keeps Collapsing

In April 2023, two armies began fighting each other in the streets of Khartoum. One was the Sudanese national army. The other was a militia the same state had created, funded, and armed — and could no longer control.

Sudan has been breaking for a long time. The wars, the coups, the atrocities in Darfur, the country that split in two: none of it was accidental, and none of it was inevitable. It followed from a specific kind of state, built in a specific way, for specific purposes that had nothing to do with the welfare of the people living inside it.

Sudan Explained is the book that shows you why — from the first soldiers moving up the Nile in 1821 to the ruins of a capital city in 2023. Clear, sharp, and written for readers who want to understand rather than just follow the headlines.
