SouthSudanCivilWar Rules

Lately I've been documenting on this event and I wanted to share and receive some thoughts on the impact of it at different levels and how it affects the idea of humanity. World as we know it, from my point of view, is a long way from being civilized, we are overwhelmed by nationalism, the desire of power, the lack of trust among the states and insecurity. All of this elements go hand in hand and I thought of no better events to analyse other than these civil wars as they contain all the necessary elements for a full scale investigation on how the threats inside a state has an impact on our whole concept of security at every level, individual, regional and global. If we analyse the events at a small scale, inside the state of Sudan we'll observe that some powerful factors reside at the base of this conflict. Religion, education and economics. Religion is a topic I could never cover as it has implications that have to do with a psychological factor. But I'm simple adding this question here : Eliminating religion from a society or forcing someone to believe into something is impossible, but if that is so, wouldn't the rational solution mean the liberty of someone to believe in any sort of god they desire ? If a society has all of these three elements planned out that would lead us to the next level. In a regional perspective of security, we should witness a unity of the central African states but what we see here is a totally opposing landscape, a polarization based on economic interests. The cooperation of Sudan and South Sudan would be almost impossible just by solving the internal issues, the external support and the influence is a major factor that pushes this war forward. From this statement we can underline the importance of the unity of the Sudanese people, maybe such unity would be an example to follow for neighbouring states. This conflict and the number of victims that follows makes it hard to believe that it takes place in our time with all of the international norms for preventing genocide and violence against non-combatants. The ignorance of the powerful states regarding the death of fellow humans it is indeed outstanding to witness, maybe we are not that civilized after all and Hobbes was right.

This would be a summarized version of all the many things I can say about this massacre of humanity.
