This episode explores the story of the civil war in Sudan and the country’s division into two states.
During the colonial era, the British spread Christianity and restricted Arab influence in southern Sudan, while the north remained predominantly Muslim.
After gaining independence, Sudan became a unified nation, but power remained in the hands of the northern politicians. Many residents of the South felt like strangers in their own country. This led to uprisings, conflicts, and a prolonged civil war between the north and south.
After decades of fighting, the parties signed a peace agreement. South Sudan gained autonomy and later achieved full independence.
