The neoconservative faction which directs U.S. foreign policy is directly responsible for the destabilization of Sudan.
As President Joe Biden orders U.S. troops to the region, it is timely to ask precisely what has led to the unfolding civil war in Sudan.
Creating a failed state
Sudan was divided into Sudan – and South Sudan – following a U.S.-backed referendum in 2011, which led to a five year civil war in the region (pictured below). As The New York Times reported in February 2023:
The new country was cheered on in 2011 by the American diplomats who had midwifed its delivery and the Hollywood celebrities who championed its cause.
Sudan is the 3rd most corrupt country in the world. Quite a record for so young a nation.
