Parallels and Contrasts: Examining Support for SAF in Sudan and Assad in Syria

-
The comparison between supporters of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in Sudan and those who supported Bashar al-Assad in Syria has some parallels but also important differences. Both situations involve complex conflicts driven by a mix of local, regional, and international factors, and the motivations of supporters in each case vary significantly. Similarities: 1. State vs. Insurgent Dynamics : Supporters of both SAF and Assad often frame their stance as supporting the legitimate government or state apparatus against what they perceive as insurgents, rebels, or illegitimate actors (RSF in Sudan and various rebel groups in Syria). 2. Desire for Stability : Many supporters in both cases prioritise stability over political reforms or revolutionary change. They may fear that the fall of the state would lead to prolonged chaos, as seen in post-Gaddafi Libya or Iraq after the US invasion. 3.

This is a good documentary about Sudan before the separation of the south from the north. it was aired by  Al-Jazeera English  almost more than a year ago. it just showed how politicians messed up Sudan for the coming generations.

It give you a quick glimpse into current issues facing south Sudan as new emerging nation, as many commentators in the documentary discovered the greatest enemy of the state is the people of south Sudan themselves. Blaming the north would not be helpful and is equivalent to hiding your head in the sand. North Sudan is become the Israel of the South. Having said that I have no doubt Khartoum and NCP do whatever they can to undermined the government in the south, I do not know why as any sensible reasonable commentator will tell that a stable prosperous south Sudan is in the best interest of the north but may be not in the interest of the NCP.  Bashir and his cronies need war, need to scare northern Arabs from people in the margins, northern Arabs are becoming the Sunnies of Iraq. When there is peace people of the nor...
