Today, Dylan discusses Sudan's history. In a country that has been fractured ethnically for centuries, with both Islamic and Christian communities, conflict hasn't been a rare occurrence in Sudan's history. The last century has seen the end of British colonial rule, two civil wars, the independence of South Sudan, and now another civil war that is unfolding today but receives very little attention. Hence, today, we'll explore how this history has created the situation in Sudan today.
